Markets

Australia

The diesel powered T90 launched in Australia and New Zealand as the LDV T60 Max in November of 2021 for the 2022 model year ^[9]. In November 2022, the electric Maxus T90 (LDV eT60) and LDV eDeliver 9 were launched in Australia.^[10]

The diesel was initially offered in either Pro ($35,779 with three pedals, or $37,884 in auto form for private buyers, drive-away) or Luxe ($40,516 with a manual transmission or $42,621 with an auto) specification. The Luxe was later replaced by the Plus specification, with different styling to the Luxe and Pro.

The eT60 is offered only in one specification. Pricing is steep, at $92,990 before on-road costs.

The petrol never made its way to either nation, all prices are in AUD.
