LDV’s upcoming 2025 Terron 9 has been making waves in Australia, with spy shots revealing the next-generation ute undergoing testing on local roads. Anticipation is building as the Terron 9 is set to enter the market in early 2025, adding to the already competitive landscape of the ute segment.
While the specific variant of the Terron 9 spotted remains unknown, sources indicate that both the 2.5-liter turbo-diesel and the all-electric eTerron 9 will be available in Australia. Recent confirmation from Australian Government documentation solidifies the availability of these models in the Australian market.
A sneak peek video captured by a carsales reader showcases the Terron 9 adorned in camouflage wrap, hinting at its design features. Unlike the Kia Tasman, the LDV ute presents a more conventional look, signaling a departure from polarizing aesthetics.
With approval for sale in Australia, the Terron 9 is expected to come equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, boasting 164kW of power. Towing capacity has also received a boost, now reaching 3500kg, a significant enhancement over its predecessor, the T60.
Specifications from government documents shed light on the dimensions of the Terron 9, revealing its substantial size compared to industry counterparts. Measuring 5500mm in length and 1997mm in width, the LDV ute stands out for its larger footprint in the dual-cab pickup truck segment.
Operating with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2.5-liter diesel engine offers flexibility with rear-wheel-drive (4×2) or all-wheel-drive (4×4) configurations. Meanwhile, the all-electric eTerron 9 presents a pricier alternative, available in single- (4×2) and dual-motor (4×4) setups, delivering 200kW and 325kW of power, respectively.
The electric variant boasts an impressive acceleration rate, going from 0-100km/h in just 5.8 seconds. Powered by a sizable 102kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the eTerron 9 offers a commendable WLTP range of up to 430km, catering to the growing demand for sustainable mobility solutions.
Internally, the eTerron 9 showcases a modern cabin design, featuring dual 12.3-inch screens and ample storage options. Additionally, the electric model introduces a frunk, enhancing practicality and utility for users seeking innovative storage solutions.
As the automotive landscape continues to evolve towards electrification, the introduction of the LDV Terron 9 signifies a strategic move by the brand to offer a blend of traditional and sustainable options in the competitive ute market. With its advanced features and impressive performance metrics, the Terron 9 is poised to make a significant impact upon its release in early 2025.
