The Maxus e-Terron 9, the vehicle that the incoming LDV e-Terron 9 electric ute is based on, has been awarded a five-star rating by the European NCAP body.
According to the official NCAP report, the eTerron 9 received an adult occupant score of 91 percent, child occupant score of 85 percent, vulnerable road users score of 84% and safety assist score of 83%.
In terms of safety equipment, the e-Terron featured the equipment required and was able to achieve the high score despite not having knee airbags, a centre airbag for the front passenger, and or an active bonnet.
LDV says it is working through local validation testing for the incoming Terron 9 diesel ute and sibling eTerron 9 electric model, but is yet to outline pricing or specifications for the duo.
The two ute models are due in Australian showrooms in the first half of 2025, but are yet to be tested by the local ANCAP body. For more information on the models, check out our rundown here.
