LDV D90 2026 News

LDV has reintroduced turbo-diesel power to its large, seven-seat D90 SUV range with fresh availability of 2.5-litre four-wheel drive diesel models alongside existing 2.0-litre turbo-petrol variants. Diesel was deleted from the local line-up with the arrival of substantial D90 facelift in late 2024, but the new diesel SUV borrows its powerplant from the LDV Terron 9 ute, sending 163kW/520Nm to all four wheels, compared to the 160kW/480Nm of its prior-generation predecessor. All D90s are eight-speed automatic only. The D90 range now consists of three grades across five models (three petrol and two diesel), priced from $43,674 to $58,937, both before on-road costs, for private buyers. ABN holders save a minimum $2184 at the entry-level and close to $3000 on the diesel flagship while a launch offer slashes an additional $4500 off the recommended drive-away prices for private and business buyers until October 31, 2026 (while stock lasts). In 2025, the turbo-petrol D90 was boosted with Miller Cycle combustion tech (to improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption), variable valve lift, high-pressure direct injection and a balance shaft module to reduce engine vibration. Outputs of 184kW/410Nm lifted braked trailer towing capacity to 3000kg in two- and four-wheel drive form while the new 4WD-only D90 diesel models pushes that number to 3500kg.

Confirming the diesel D90’s reintroduction LDV Australia General Manager Dinesh Chinnappa said, “Customers have been asking for the return of diesel power to the LDV D90 ever since it was paused from our line-up two years ago.” “Customers have also been asking for a top-tier model, which is why we have introduced the LDV D90 Luxe diesel. “With the revised LDV D90 range we are offering a wider range of price points and giving customers the choice of petrol or diesel power,” he said.

Chinese brand LDV has slashed the price of its D90 seven-seat family SUV. The range now kicks off at $39,990 drive-away for the two-wheel-drive Mode grade, which is a saving of about $4000. That new entry price undercuts newer Chinese rivals such as the MG QS ($46,990 drive-away), but it is pipped to the post by the Chery Tiggo 8 ($38,990 drive-away). It is also significantly cheaper than big name rivals such as the Kia Sorento ($51,630 before on-road costs) and Toyota Kluger Hybrid ($62,410 before on-road costs). Other off-road-focussed cut-price rivals like the Mahindra Scorpio (from $48,990 drive-away) and KGM Rexton (from $52,000) are also pricier. The rest of the D90 remains priced the same, with the better equipped two-wheel-drive Executive grade priced at $47,884 drive-away and the range-topping 4WD Executive variant costing $51,568. ABN holders can shave about $2500 off the price of those two. All models are powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that makes 184kW and 410Nm. It is matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission. LDV claims it has a braked towing capacity of up to 3000kg. All D90s get a heavy dose of interior tech and active driver aids.  This includes dual 12.3-inch displays - one for the multimedia and the other for the driver’s instruments - and rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitoring and auto emergency braking. LDV covers its vehicles in Australia with a seven year/200,000km warranty and a five year/unlimited km roadside assistance package is included. The D90 requires its first service at six months/5000km with the following intervals stretching to 12 months/10,000km. 2026 LDV D90 price
