• Who makes the LDV T60 engine?

  LDV's latest engine, an efficient and optimised 2.0-litre turbo diesel motor dubbed the D20, is produced in-house by its large-scale parent company, SAIC Motor Corporation. Of the models that still feature a 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine with 120kW and 360Nm of torque, this engine has been made under license from Italy’s VM Motori.

• What motor is in the LDV T60?

  Three of the variants in the LDV T60 line-up feature a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine. This includes the Luxe (4x4), Mega TUB (4x4) and PRO (4x4) models. This motor is capable of producing 110kW of power at 3400 rpm, as well as 360Nm of torque at 1600-2800 rpm. In the range-topping Trailrider 2 (4x4) D20, a different single turbo-diesel motor is used, tweaked to pump out 120kW of power and 375Nm of torque. This new motor is expected to be deployed across the entire line-up in time.
