The 2017 LDV D90 has had a full unveiling as part of the Shanghai Auto Show, hot on the heels of the seven-seat SUV’s Australian preview earlier this month.
Set to go on sale locally from September, the D90 shares its ladder chassis with LDV’s T60 ute (first shown in March and also set to go on sale in September) and will become the brand’s first passenger car.
Falling into the large SUV category in Australia, the D90 lines up against off road-ready family SUVs including the Toyota Fortuner, Holden Trailblazer and Ford Everest, though LDV’s Australian general manager, Dinesh Chinnappa has soft-roaders like the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe in sight.
Official confirmation will come closer to launch, but Chinnappa suggests that the circa $40,000 Korean competition could be undercut on price by "between 15 to 20 percent" giving the D90 a starting price of less than $35,000.
