LDV has launched an updated version of its sporty T60 utility.
Exterior changes for the MY23 T60 Max Pro include newly designed side steps, full chrome sports bar, roof rails and a soft-release tailgate.
The higher-spec’d T60 Luxe adds body coloured door mirrors, 19-inch black alloys fitted with 240km/h rated Continental rubber, black wheel arches, black side steps, black roof rails and black rear sports bar with sailplane.
Inside, both variants get an updated leather steering wheel.
The drivetrain is unchanged, with both models powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder bi-turbo diesel engine with 160kW of power at 4000 rpm and 500Nm from just 1500 rpm, that drives through a six-speed manual or an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission (now with paddle shifts).
Fuel consumption on the combined cycle is listed at 9.2L/100km for the manual and 9.3L for the automatic.
Importantly, both T60 suspension tunes, heavy duty for the Pro and comfort for the Luxe – have been specifically calibrated for Australian conditions.
Payload for the heavy-duty Pro manual is 935kg (750kg for the Luxe) while both variants are rated up to 3.0 tonnes max braked towing.
The previous T60 gained the maximum 5-star ANCAP rating and this will continue with the upgrade.
Standard features include six airbags, enhanced ABS brakes, hill descent control, rear parking sensors and reversing camera and fatigue alert.
T60 Max Luxe adds 360-degree panoramic camera, lane departure warning and an on-demand rear differential lock.
The cabin has been refreshed with a new 10.25-inch central touchscreen.
All LDV vehicles now come with a seven-year/200,000 kilometre warranty, together with five-year/130,000km roadside assist.
