LDV has slashed the price of New Zealand’s only electric ute, with the eT60 now costing less than its diesel T60 ute.
Usually priced at $79,990, LDV New Zealand’s new eT60 models are on sale for $49,975, which includes the brand’s $23,000 discount and the Clean Car Discount rebate of $7015.
Inchcape New Zealand Limited’s Head of Brand Marketing, Daile Stephens, says she believes this is a never-before-seen offer in the industry.
“We believe this is the first time an electric vehicle has been offered at a lower price than its petrol or diesel equivalent model,” she says.
Our top-spec diesel-powered T60 ute has a recommended retail price of $49,990 and this special offer on the electric, double-cab eT60 comes in under that. And that’s not even taking into account your future fuel savings.”
LDV has a global reputation for building world-class vehicles and New Zealand's sole electric ute, the eT60 is at the brand’s performance forefront, boasting remarkable output specs.
The electric ute has a 10.25in infotainment screen.
These can be accredited to its 150kW/310Nm motor partnered with an 88.55 kWh battery, which produces a WLTP test range of up to 325km and a fast charge of 80% in 40 minutes when using a D.C. charger.
The double cab rear-wheel-drive eT60 has a rear tray capacity of 1188L, which will accommodate most loads with ease. Strong tie-down points feature on both the deck and on the wheel arches, while the cargo tray is lined with an industrial-grade coating to protect the vehicle and your cargo.
The eT60 ute has a fully calibrated chassis, Anti-lock braking (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), to ensure braking is optimal for any driving situation.
The eT60 is also equipped with a Reversing Camera, Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA). On top of that, the eT60 has Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Roll Movement Intervention (RMI), driver and passenger airbags, side airbags and full-length curtain airbags.
Inside the ute, the driver’s seat comes with a range of adjustments ensuring optimal driver positioning.
It has a 10.25in infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay, smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth. Rear camera and park assist are standard and the eT60 comes with air conditioning, power front windows, power side mirrors and keyless entry.
There’s even loads of storage space for your mobile office gear which turns the eT60 into your office on the road.
