South African motorists no longer want to choose between rugged capability and everyday comfort, and with the LDV Terron 9, they no longer have to. This double-cab has been designed to deliver both. Blending the practicality of a bakkie with the comfort, technology and sophistication of a modern SUV, the Terron 9 enters the market as a strong competitor in a crowded segment.
Internationally, premium Chinese bakkies are increasingly being recognised for combining value, technology and refinement, and the LDV Terron 9 is no exception.

LDV continues to set the benchmark with the Terron 9, pioneering the premium lifestyle-bakkie formula, – a vehicle whose distinctive design, practicality and driver-focused appeal continue to stand out as more competitors enter the segment. Its local relevance, strong value proposition and comprehensive warranty offering are further reinforced by LDV’s 130-year global legacy and growing presence in the commercial vehicle market.
The Terron 9 has a wide, muscular stance with bold, upright styling, LED headlights with DRLs, 20-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, electric tailgate, and panoramic sunroof on its flagship model, with all models having a ground clearance of 220mm and wheelbase of 3 300mm.
This double cab combines luxury interior features, advanced driver assistance systems and off-road capability, with a towing capacity of 3 500kg. Some of its key features include a leather interior, dual 12.3-inch displays, JBL audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated multifunction steering wheel as well as heated and ventilated seats with a massage-function for the driver’s seat.
When it comes to safety, the Terron 9 has a 5-star ANCAP safety rating (2024), and features 7 airbags, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with forward/rear collision warning , lane safety systems and blind spot assist, parking and visibility support and stability and control systems including traction control, hill-start assist, hill descent control and tyre pressure monitoring.
Powered by a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine delivering 164kW and 520Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and 4×4 drivetrain, the Terron 9 is built for both on-road comfort and off-road capability. Multiple drive modes, including Normal, Eco, Sport, Mud, Snow, Sand, Tow, Rock, Wade and Crawl, allow drivers to tailor the experience to different conditions, while front and rear differential locks and an intelligent torque-on-demand system enhance traction, control and all-terrain performance.
Reviews have praised the Terron 9’s premium interior, strong sense of build quality, generous specification at aggressive price points, and strong diesel performance, with one review from Eastern Cape-driven automotive platform, The Ride with Anda, saying it ‘might be one of the most interesting new options on the market’.
The LDV Terron 9 comes with a 5-year / 200 000km warranty and is available in Blanc White, Jewel Blue, Metal Black, Cement Ash, Desert Yellow and Spruce Green.
Combining rugged capability, premium comfort and advanced technology, the LDV Terron 9 is a compelling new alternative for South Africans seeking a double-cab that is equally suited to work, family life and adventure.
