What's on this page

LDV T60 Australia

The LDV T60 is a Chinese ute which first arrived in Australia in October 2017.

Originally a European marque (known as Leyland DAF Vans), LDV now belongs to Chinese conglomerate, SAIC. The brand clearly has its sights aimed at the big ute players in Australia with keen pricing, five-star safety and relatively high spec levels.

Pricing currently starts from $41,042 for the T60 MAX PRO (4X4) with the most expensive T60 coming in at $52,095 for the T60 MAX Mega TUB (4X4).

At launch, the T60 was available in just two dual-cab variants, the Pro and Luxe, available in either auto or manual and were 4x4 only.

A single-cab variant was added in 2018 available in two- or four-wheel drive, with all variants powered by the same 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel.

LDV T60 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the LDV T60 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • My 2019 LDV T60 is losing power in auto but not manual

    This is very likely to be an electronic problem based on the fact that if the transmission works properly in manual mode, there’s nothing internally wrong with it. But when you shift it back to automatic mode, there’s a stray or incorrect signal being sent to the on-board computer. In turn, that’s possibly throwing the operation into limp-home mode which is why you suddenly have a loss of power.

    Limp-home mode is, as the name suggests, designed to get you home without doing further damage to the vehicle. As such, it can limit power, limit top speed and even lock you out of certain gears to ensure this happens. Have the vehicle scanned to see if any error codes are being thrown up by the computer.

  • My 2020 LDV T60 surging

    It would appear the vehicle has gone into limp-home mode. This limits how much power the engine produces and how fast the vehicle will go as a means of protecting the engine and transmission from damage due to whatever the root cause is. Often a low coolant or oil level or high temperature will force the car into limp-home mode, but there are many other reasons for this to happen. You need to take the car to a workshop which will be able to scan the vehicle electronically and gain a better idea of what’s going on.

    Don’t forget, either, that provided you car is less than five years old and has travelled less than 130,000km, it should still be covered by the LDV factory warranty.

    As for the colour of the oil, diesel engines are notoriously filthy things and nearly always turn their oil black in a very short space of time. In fact, even when topping up with new oil, by the time it has reached the sump and appears on the dipstick, it’s already black.

  • Is there a way to turn off the seatbelt warning indicator in my 2023 LDV T60 Max?

    Safety gear such as seat-belt warnings don’t usually have an on-off button, as they need to operate all the time in the interests of safety. But having them go off when there’s nobody in the back seat is just annoying.

    Are your kids leaving their school bags or anything else on the seat when they leave the vehicle? Sometimes a bag of groceries or a small suitcase heavy enough can make the vehicle think there’s a human backside on the seat and, if the seat-belt isn’t done up, will sound the alert. If not, you’re probably looking at a problem with the sensor that triggers the warning. Either way, the car thinks the seat is occupied when it’s not.

    This problem should be covered by your new-car warranty, so let the dealer sort it out. In the meantime, you might be able to silence the warning by clipping the seat-belts into their correct buckles, even if there’s nobody in those seats.

  • Vibration in 2023 LDV T60 Luxe

    You’re (possibly) looking for a driveline problem here. It’s probably not the engine itself as the vibration occurs when you’re slowing down (and the engine is no longer under load) but beyond that, it could be anything from a driveshaft, axle, transmission, braking system, wheel bearing, suspension or even an engine or transmission mount problem.

    But the bottom line is that your vehicle should still be covered by the factory warranty, so make use of it. If you don’t get any satisfaction at dealership level, tackle LDV’s Australian customer service department. Our laws regarding vehicle warranties are plain and simple and are designed to protect consumers.
