Oh, to be an Australian ute buyer in 2026. The abundance of choice and quality is like nothing we have ever seen, and with manufacturers now overtly positioning cars to suit a work-life balanced buyer, the days of the basic jobsite ute seem to be over.The 2025 LDV Terron 9 is unashamedly pitched as a versatile seven-day workhorse that can handle the multi-role demands of work and play, with plenty of modern accessibility and undeniable value thrown in.The Terron 9 is a Chinese-built ‘size-up’ ute that is bigger than a traditional Toyota Hilux (or even LDV’s own T60), but smaller than a large American pickup like a RAM or Ford F-150. It’s the basis for the forthcoming MG U9 ute too, with which it shares… well… everything.
