- New Terron 9 launches in SA as LDV’s flagship bakkie
- 3 derivatives for Mzansi, all powered by 2.5TD engine
- Pricing for this 5 500 mm-long bakkie starts at R699 900
The new LDV Terron 9 has hit the market in South Africa, with the Chinese-owned brand announcing pricing for its flagship ladder-frame double-cab bakkie at the 2025 Festival of Motoring in Gauteng.
As a reminder, LDV is a wholly owned subsidiary of China’s SAIC Motor, the company that is also responsible for MG Motor. LDV opened its doors in South Africa in May 2024, kicking off its local operations with the launch of the T60 range of double-cab bakkies.
The new Terron 9 slots in above the T60, measuring a whopping 5 500 mm from nose to tail, with some 3 300 mm separating its axles. That makes it a considerable 150 mm longer than a Ford Ranger double cab and 55 mm lengthier than even the hefty GWM P500.
So, what does it cost in Mzansi? Well, LDV SA offers 3 derivatives, all featuring an 8-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 as standard. The line-up kicks off with the Terron 9 2.5TD Elite at R699 900, with the mid-tier Terron 9 2.5TD Premium coming in at R779 900. Finally, the appropriately named Terron 9 2.5TD Flagship tops the range at R849 900.
The 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine delivers 163 kW and 520 Nm to all 4 corners via the aforementioned (ZF-sourced) 8-speed auto. Expect a ground clearance of 220 mm and a payload in the region of 850 kg, along with a braked towing capacity of 3 500 kg.
LDV South Africa has yet to reveal detailed specifications for the 3 trim levels, but we’ll update this article once more information becomes available…
