- The latest entrant into the South African bakkie market is LDV (Leyland DAF Vehicles). This unknown new competitor to South Africa is set to ruffle some feathers with its unique styling and on par performance. We test the top-spec T60 Max Luxe.

Whatever its drawbacks, idgaf. As long as it won't be appealing to car thieves, I'm sold.
The rear styling for me is a let down... that black styling part is completely unnecessary. Feels tacked on. Its like wearing googles
Styling is subjective, but that tailgate cover does provide a great deal of protection that can save your paintwork!
Same reason I departed from looking into it

Most definetely
Pick mine up next week, looking forward to it
That's great news! Which colour did you go for? :)
@@Autotradersa just white mate
@@nhraandnascarfanatic5907 how did you go with it ? Satisfied? I’m picking up in 4 weeks
This guy is a flipping good reviewer.
@JMji was it the part where the moron was driving and throwing his hands all over the place that impressed you?
A Toyota's depreciation is minute, the Isuzu and Ford not to far off. At that price of R790k with major depreciation when selling or trading - you going to wish you rather went the Japanese route - who's service department and part available is far superior. Goedkoop koop is duur koop.
The front looks decent but the back is a bit of a let down. Price wise in my opinion at almost R800K is high and not justifiable to over look a very low mileage pre-owned tried and tested Hilux or DMax if comparing between those bakkies.
Yeah, the back is undesirable
You can low mileage Hilux Rangers for around that price range... The pricing of this bakkie is off although it's cheaper than high spec Ranger and Hilux brand new but the fact it's still relatively new and not at a cheaper price point doesn't do it favour
@@m2ngwa89 Spot on! Can't just slap a R800K price tag coming in without credentials in this competitive segment.
@@MuchudisiAlmost like they put that plastic cover as a distraction to the lack of design.
As much as i agree with rear looks and price arguement, it is still worth an option considering that the Hilux or even Dmax you’ll be competing for them with thieves on the street.
Considering the price,if you in the market for a Chinese bakkie give the JAC T9 a try.Starting at R549k.Descent standard tech.
We drove the T9 recently and were also impressed!
I like it. I wonder if the communication between engin and gearbox is good. I have driven good Chinese cars where the gearbox can get confused as to what gear to be in.
Hi Marius, Its very good!... the programming is spot on.
That communication is important chief
None of those issues with this one, she’s a good thing.
They not going to break? Thats a bit toooooo early to tell? But my gwm p series stil holding strong gor 30 momths or so....
Impressive power and torque figures. What is the clearance on this model and how does it pull? I assume with those figures, overtaking is a breeze. I hope it doesn’t suffer from the preverbal turbo lag most diesel engines suffer from.
Vehicle Length/Width/Heigh t(mm) - 5365x1900x1809 (All T60 Model derivatives)
Tub-size - 1485x1510x530 (mm)
Ground Clearance (unladen) - 215 (mm)
Wading Depth - 550(mm) T60 Max Luxe
The T60 has plenty of grunt and I imagine its going to tow like a boss. LDV actually did some reprogramming on the throttle response and took out the lag.
@@lawrenceminnie6599 Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, Lawrence.
Tows well, overtakes well, but you do feel the weight.
And since LDV did an EMS update the dreaded turbo lag has been significantly reduced to where it feels normal to drive! 👌
So, what does LDV stand for? I like it 🔥
Leyland Daf Vehicles (LDV)
I see, wow 😃
That fuel consumption is really good for a big DC vehicle 😳
It is quite frugal! Do you drive a bakkie?
I don't ...... currently 2.0tdi VW.....👍🏼
At that price point I would rather buy an Isuzu, it’s not how this vehicle looks and drives now the question is will it last….?
Sorry but your facts arent correct, the new Dmax does well under 10l per 100km. I own 1 as well.
Plus Isuzu has stood the test of time, this bakkie has a long way to go.
That doesn't change the fact that it is not build here in SA, only if it was build here
Why are Toyota's selling at a higher price than an LDV if they are "locally built"
It would cost $ 120k if it was built here
If lambos were built in china. You’d be stuck in peak hour every day with either one or two of them here in sa.
Short answer........NO
