Looks OK apart from those wheels. They look lost. Engine sounds puny on camera. Don't like gear selection on a stalk. Is the manual on the tree as well. Less refined than the big boys. But less in price. There is always a tradeoff. The biggest factor is resale value. And for those that care about their image, snob value.
Its difficult to compare it to its more expensive competition considering its a lot cheaper,you cant really expect it to be the same as Hi Lux or Ranger
It looks good , the chinese are improving alot with quality. Reliability and after sales parts is always the problem. This ldv is also an mg extender. But ill give Chinese utes credit , the interior always look futureristic. I would still take a triton , because of its full time awd at highway speeds. Until you seen a ute spin spin out on the road or on wet roads, only then would you understand the importance of it. Full time awd is highly underrated and its not available in the most expensive hilux utes. The v6 ranger and amarok has it though. Also the old amarok has it.
@@gheufbfff in the video, Brett says the engine sounds more rattly than the average diesel engine. I was agreeing that even from the outside of the vehicle, the T60 with the 2.0L has more injector rattle than most modern diesel engines.
Helpful review - thank you. Would be interested to know whether you’d go for this, or a Cannon X for the same money? Cannon has less power on paper, but a well calibrated ZF gearbox..and is similar or better in terms of cabin quality, rear seat space, tub size etc.
I think the new interiors and instrument clusters is just some makers trying to standardise across different types of models and types of vehicles. Make sense instead of inefficiency and cost of making so many different styles and sizes. LDV make a lot more stuff than is seen outside China.

100%, and that isn't a compliment, it's simply more appealing though plus there is the time saving factor too, you won't be cleaning up vomit each time after you've approached the Triton. Sarcastic yes, but come on, Mitsubishi fell to sleep in the exterior design, design guys swilling saki instead of focusing on design.
A great leap forward (or is this backwards?). The new screens and removal of traditional buttons that is becoming more common is designed this way for one of many reasons. Costs (number 1). All mainstream these changes with price increases manufacturers are justifying these changes with price increases (BMW as one brand for reference, nothing to do with going electric). Why? The availability and refinement of technology coming out of China (I’ll use my iPhone 15 pro as an example) are getting better and cheaper to make. Creating traditional dashboard layouts, matching all different trims and making the switch gear for standard controls is simply more expensive to do. Much cheaper to have two budget tables joined together and programmable with these features. So, as consumers, we should be demanding the price reductions being passed on as the manufacturers are simply taking advantage of the untrained average buyer who isn’t equipped with this knowledge.
Wow surprisingly good looking Ute BUT why are car makers putting the gear selectors on the steering columns???? That is just stupid! Regardless, this would be a good alternative for ppl who can’t afford 85k for the equivalent Hilux I guess.
We have 6 of these in our fleet. They are terrible. No parts available for warranty claims, we have all throw timing belts, thermostats, driveshafts etc whilst under 2 years of age. Have started a replacement program to exit the, from the fleet. Would not touch them.
@CryptikStudios yes, because in Europe they drive on the right side of the road and last time l checked this vehicle was built in China for the Australian market. Even if it is being used globally, like the Mustang or Camry etc at least get this sorted for the market you intend to sell in. Poor form.
I was born with something called arthrogryposis. Basically, born with my hands in a closed fist shape (among other issues with ankle movement). During my childhood I had 17 operations to provide somewhat normal range and capability. My hands still look strange but they work, mostly lol 👍
Putting the gear selector right where indicators are on most cars. What a fk up. Hope u have to hold a button to shift gears or something, wouldn’t want to shift into reverse while coming off the motorway 😂
@ytyndale3643 Where exactly is your opinion coming from if you do not own one? You have to have owned or used one to have such a strong opinion about it.

That looks so much nicer than the last model
Congrats on 10K subscribers.
little bit more and get a Triton lol yeh like 20k more . nothing can frighten a triton but current Triton prices fritons the punters towards a LDV
MV Tritons are beast. Sold my ranger for one and love it

Rather push a DAF intercooled turbo diesel truck than hop in LDV Maxus T60 4x4

I believe the T60 does have full time all wheel drive, certainly the previous model did, can't see it being deleted.
The knob has 4A on it.
Yeah, noticed lots of injector rattle on these when I’ve heard them drive past
Lol. Never driven one, never been in one. Seen one drive past with rattles apparently. Omg I have heard it all lol

This ute is still behind its competitors including the new GWM Canon Alpha
How so ?

It's not fair really...we need this exact refresh
I’d like to see a 2.5-5 yr review and see if the opinions change.
If you had the option between this and the gwm alpha (either the diesel or petrol hybrid) which one would you do
alpha anyday
Moving the potato chip crumb catcher to the column is a great idea.
This model is really nice🔥🔥.
Look at the dashboard and the new facelift 👌🏿🔥🔥
What about the rusting issues? Hopefully sorted.
We haven’t heard if there has been any significant attention/revision in that area.
I'd take the look of this over the new Triton ANY day of the week.
and save 20k along the way
You do that your a comedian old mate😂

If this had a BMW stlye ZF gearbox calibration it would be more impressive
we just recieved this vehicle in South Africa but the interior is not the same, looks previous gen.. what a shame
Hi Thanks alll. Flares are plactic on all 4 x 4
Wow surprisingly good looking Ute BUT why are car makers putting the gear selectors on the steering columns???? That is just stupid! Regardless, this would be a good alternative for ppl who can’t afford 85k for the equivalent Hilux I guess.
It's from American pickup trucks, they have column shifters. I guess the Chinese just copied that.
Front looks like a Hyundai palisade. Looks alright apart from that tray bar thing.
Have they fixed the rust problem…??? I would not buy one because of it.
Sure there is 10 year warranty on the rust issue from 2018 models onwards
Not bad
We have 6 of these in our fleet. They are terrible. No parts available for warranty claims, we have all throw timing belts, thermostats, driveshafts etc whilst under 2 years of age. Have started a replacement program to exit the, from the fleet. Would not touch them.
Under 2 years of age? This variant just released in Australia less than a month. You must be confusing this with the previous ldv variants
@@abeerzeeshan9136 Running gear is still the same
You just have bad drivers 😂
Did you have another channel where you tested cars?
Yes, PDriveTV was my old channel 👍
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia thought the voice sounded familiar, enjoyed your videos, glad your back with this channel .
@@Slipperystick73 Thank you 😀
Does it have lane assist?
Is the indicator stalk really on the left side of the steering column?
It’s how all European cars are
@CryptikStudios yes, because in Europe they drive on the right side of the road and last time l checked this vehicle was built in China for the Australian market.
Even if it is being used globally, like the Mustang or Camry etc at least get this sorted for the market you intend to sell in. Poor form.
The 218 PS in this car really feels like a gimmick
Dont think you can ever compare this car with a raptor or HiLux .. the price range gap is so huge
Those chargers in the console will soon fill up with crud
Yes, twas thinking exactly the same thing, truly poor design.
Could be solved by just leaving leads plugged in though, but stupid stupid design.
What happened to your hands mate, im super interested
I was born with something called arthrogryposis. Basically, born with my hands in a closed fist shape (among other issues with ankle movement).
During my childhood I had 17 operations to provide somewhat normal range and capability.

😅
Hahaha... exactly my first thought when I got this LDV, but it didn't take time to get used to.
These Chinese utes rust a lot. Saw a 6 month old gwm with tray all rusting. Buy Korean utes instead.
Just make sure you don't drive thru/past/near/adjacent any open bodies of water...
😅
Ford's 2.0 doesn't rattle at all...
New Mitsubishi triton
Who are the Chinese copying with their interiors ?
A sprinkling of everyone.
Reminds me of the Merc screens in a way.
What a piece of trash, slow unreliable vehicle.
Already unreliable while still new.
Not every human has brains
