WITH PRICING STARTING from just $35,990 driveaway, the LDV 90 7-seater is, with some justification, claiming the title of Australia’s best-value SUV.
Adding to its appeal is an ANCAP five-star rating, five-year/130,000km warranty and standard features including adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking and blind spot monitoring.
“We’ve listened to the market, simplified our line-up and re-calibrated the LDV D90 for hard-working Australian families,” says Dinesh Chinnappa, General Manager of LDV Automotive Australia.
“The D90 is a demonstration of the advanced technical and design capabilities of LDV. Nothing in its segment comes close, particularly the range-topping D90 Executive, in terms of value for money, space, equipment, comfort and safety.”
The D90 presents buyers with an array of technology usually found in far more expensive vehicles, including blind spot warning, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition, which automatically spots road signs and shows them in the instrument display.
The D90 has the latest technologies to assist the driver in an emergency, such as autonomous braking, front collision warning and an advanced electronic stability control that helps the driver maintain control and reduce the likelihood of a vehicle roll-over.
The third tier of safety equipment, designed to protect the occupants in the event of accident, is headlined by six airbags and advanced energy absorbing technology around the rigid passenger safety cell.
In addition, the D90’s advanced turbocharged petrol engine comes with a choice of 2WD or 4WD, the latter with an advanced terrain selection mode, ideal for those family camping weekends away.
