With their second and third shipments on their way, the newly introduced LDV already has vehicles ready for their first customers. The company is also well on its way to establishing a dealer network across the country and still has availability for dealerships in certain areas.

The T60 Pick-up range features a host of premium amenities, including a Reversing Camera, 3-Ton Braked Towing Capacity, 10.25” Touch-Screen Entertainment System, six Airbags, TPMS, Apple CarPlay®, Cruise Control, and LED Daytime Running Lights. The T60 range can be seen at LDV in Bryanston, 2985 Winnie Mandela Drive.

Unlike in the past, when dealerships primarily waited for customers to come to them, we now take a more proactive approach, bringing our vehicles directly to places where people gather, allowing them to experience the product first-hand, including offering test drives,” says Gerrie van der Kaay, Dealer Principal at Supergroup Dealerships Jetour Midrand.
