LDV D90

DO NOT BUY!!! Absolutely the worst new car experience!!!! Horrendous customer “service “, constant problems that won’t be addressed. My vehicle has 11,000klms on the clock and has been an absolute trash storm of issues and drama that has made my new car experience a nightmare! LDV “service” are an a joke to deal win and even when a warranty claim… Read more

is approved it will take an eternity to get parts. Do yourself a favour, spend a bit more and get a car you will be happy with. I hate the fact I have to put my family in this car. I have a list of issues with this car that are being completely ignored.

Incredibly good value for money. Regularly go offroading and put it through some abuse and it has actually held up incredibly well. I wish my model had diff locks though Show details

Do not Purchase as this company has the worst after sales service and will cost a fortune in repairs as they do not honour warranty , I have had many new cars including Chinese brands like BYD and GWM who are fantastic but LDV is the worst i have ever dealt with. I can see why so many people take legal action Show details

Obscene value for money. 41K drive away 12 month rego full tank petrol. Seats 7 with comfort and 5 in luxury with room for 5 large suitcases no problem. Use it for carrying my tools and parts for work powerfull only burns a bit more fuel than my old toyota rav 4 at 11liters per 100k. Owned it for 3 years from new a few trivial snall isues. Never… Read more

been profesionally serviced i diy oil changes with cheap $45 castrol 5/30oil every 8000km still runs perfect. Air con is the best i ever had in a car easily better than Toyota hilux and Rav 4 air con interms of pure capacity to chill a car fast in blistering perth summers. If im in a rush the petrol engine propels the 3 tons of metal with ease but probably burns less than a amg v8 mercedes. Over take trucks on country roads towing a trailor at highway speeds easy.The automatic gear box is nowhere as smooth as a lancruiser but its fine fie 40k worth of performance. Being so cheap no need to treat it with great care the car just takes everthing. Satisfied in general. Dont waste your money on profesional oil changes do it yourself its fast and easy. Get the filters from ali xpress 100bux Aus for pack of 10.

jurky d90 – a issue has started on my d90 diesel where the engine will lurch and splutter the fisrt time car is used on the day, does this for 100 mtrs then all is normal, my guess is theres air in the fuel line, vehicle is a 2023 model and so far travelled approx 11000. vehicle was booked in for investigation but had to reschedule, so am wondering is this a major problem Show details

new car drive 12,000klm – Very pleased d90 diesel, owned 6 weeks now picked up new on a wednesday and left next day to drive across the nulla perth to coffs harbour with not a hitch, averaged 7/100 applied for my pilot license with all the electrics fitted and still learning, I would love to hear from anyone with same vehicle that tow a caravan, having towbar and electrics fitted next week also what tow mirrors are recommended Show details

Its an alright car – I have driven, owned and thrashed alot of nice cars. :) Yes read reviews on replacing brakes every 50,000 ks. Im all for safety so I think its a good thing. The head rest in the middle? Well Im 5.7” so I guess if you have a shorter wheel base than I this might be an issue. The only thing that gives me the crap is engaging into reverse and music Im… Read more

listening to via Apple play changes back to the radio in a lower volume. GRRRR Thats the nasty thing about this car. Im on a mission to find out how to extract this function from my car. Settings is no dam help. Oh and figured out the driver headrest… swapped it with the rear headrest…winning!!!! Update: So I’ve had this car for over a year now. The brakes cost 1200 to get fixed - not loving the price. The paint is bad. Rusting already. Have had trouble trying to get this issue sorted with LDV. The hinges on the hatch are rusting and the water has run down into the weld seam and caused rust. The seals around the window are perishing due to the heat. And this car is still under warranty. The body of the car is so crap it’s not funny. Changed the factory tires as every time I went around a roundabout in the wet the butt end would slide out. Put wider tyres on it seems much better. Now becoming disappointed. Should have kept my Toyota which I’ve had for longer and have had no issues with it at all. Not happy.

Go like a boat – Got a D 90 petrol as a replacement car for my Hyundai service. Not very impressive. Very slow on low rpm but ok mid range. Car hard to move when put on Eco mode. Mahindra XUV is a mile better, as more stylish and a wonderful drive. May be the diesel variant could be ok. As I did not buy this and not used it long enough, I cannot tell anything more. Show details

Great Value SUV, with BMWesque fittings without the price guilt – Bought the 2.0L Turbo Luxe (pre-executive trim) which was actually better equipped than the 2020+ executive. Panoramic sunroof Ambient Lighting Heated & ventilated seats Carplay Rear diff locker proximity sensor key active cruise control - can also be the bain of your life, just set cruise to 5kmh over signposted as this tends to stay 2-3kmh… Read more

under the target speed you name it this has it.

Have done 1000k's in her now and touch wood no issues. The engine is small but does minimise excessive fuel use from atmospheric v6's. Around town i get around 11L/100k's and on highway runs 9L/100k Only use unleaded 95 though.

Do have a couple of warranty issues to sort out though in that the mirror flood lights have degraded and automatic gear shifter handle is cracking. Oh and the key is a PoS - have since replaced. I think the MMI is also due for an update along with the cruise control.

Bang for buck this is great – Just bought a 2nd hand D90 with 50k on the clock. First impressions are excellent and the drive is great!! easy to steer and park (evn though it's slightly shorter than an oil tanker); heaps of extras and works well. Show details

Had it as a rental for 5 days – First, the compartment door was fussy - it closed after applying herculean force. The same door will not open when the vehicle is idle - I have to turn the car off to open it. It is not an ideal Mafia car where one can hastily drop a body bag while idling. Then, the car phone connection system. The Bluetooth was more temperamental than a person… Read more

with Bipolar disorder. It connects when it feels like it. Then the high beam light was as good as wearing a pair of penlights on both ears. It illuminates straight ahead. On the darkest zigzags, a prayer before, during, and after the drive was my only assurance of safety. On climbs, the engine grunted like a toddler forced to toilet train. The SUV was also not confident on inclined stops - I found myself stepping on both the brake and gas pedals - weaning the brakes like in the manual. And the most annoying - was the loud beep to announce I locked the car.

Awful car, have had nothing but trouble not even 12 months old – My ldv d90 has had the infotainment system failed twice requiring replacement Blower motor has also gone Exhaust feel off off runner All in the space of 11 months, I've done 12000 km and the car has been nothing but trouble spend more time getting it fixed then I do driving it. Show details

Absolute LEMON – Bought LDV D90 in Dec 2020, dashboard didn't work on pick up day, cruise control never worked, engine light comes on every few days. Taken back to dealership which they then keep my car for longer then 3 weeks at a time. No offer of a car to drive. Staff are extremely rude. Dashboard was replaced after 12 months, cruise control started working… Read more

once new dashboard was put in, issues with engine light every few days they can't explain and the car goes into limp mode and I have to have it towed to LDV and they then keep for 3 weeks or more. But still no answers. STAY AWAY from LDV. I do love the size of the vehicle I just wish that buying brand new it would actually do what I paid for and be reliable for me and my children. :(

This car is perfect – The D90 is a really good car to drive. And when you take it to get it serviced they are really helpful and reliable. Good customer service and they look after your vehicle. Show details

Excellent for the price – 4 months ownership with daily mix of local and freeway driving has been faultless. For its size its fuel efficient with avg of 7.8 driven mainly in sport mode. Missing 360 parking camera and heated seats is only criticism. Show details

Electronics – Purchased D90 4x4 diesel in November 2022 and have had it back to dealership a number of times for the same issue that they can’t resolve. Problem 1 - During a Bluetooth phone call, after several minutes the person can no longer hear me but I can hear them. It’s like I’ve pressed mute. This has also happened whilst using CarPlay, however people… Read more

can’t hear me clearly when I’m using this as it’s drops in and out or is crackly. LDV said it only works with a genuine Apple cord which I use and has made no difference. Their solution to the phone dropping out during a call whilst driving is to pick up my phone and record this happening. I’ve explained it’s illegal to do this and LDV has insisted that’s this is the only way they can try to fix problem. Problem 2 - Whilst on cruise control I have nearly been hit from behind on several occasions. When doing the speed limit on cruise control on a trilane road, I can be in the right hand lane, going around a right hand bend, with a vehicle in the left hand lane and the car will suddenly brake as it detects the slower moving vehicle.

Dealer conducrt endorsed by LDV Australia – In May 2022 LDV D90 was $35,000 with $!000 fuel voucher car was available for immediate purchase in Tweed Heads. LDV Brendale offered $32000 in May and said would be 4-6 weeks. In June after chasing them I was told end of July. End of July I chased again and was told end of August. I chased them until mid September and was finally told they had… Read more

no stock - the car I ordered will not even be built until Novemebr 2022. The LDV dealer suggested I buy anohther brand. So I suspect the dealer had been selling off the car I ordered at higher (June price hike) prices hoping I would go away. I reported the conduct to LDV Australia (4 times in total - NO response I followed up and was told someone would contact me ASAP. No response. I chased again Was told someone would in in touch in 24 hours. NO response I cahse again and got an email that LDV looked into the matter and too bad so sad I would just have to waita and fully supported the dealer. It seems LDV Australia really does not give a S...t and clrealry endorses their authorised dealers conduct. Beware the con and avoid LDV. I have all corro to back up my claims.

D90 2022 – Just got my 2022 d90 and love everything about it, I've read the reviews about lemon and that but seriously most unknown cars when they hit the market are well built and yep some are lemons but this can happen with any brand of car even models that have been around for years and end up with recalls and such. Personally I'd still give ldv a… Read more

chance I can see them only getting better and more exciting models to come but you get what you pay for and realistically for the price and what you get there better then some well known brands.

15000klms and going well – Victoria, have used the car predominately for travel to and from work generally around 50klms each way. Used to go on longer trips around Victoria towing a camper trailer (approx 3.5t) no issues at all. Adaptive cruise can be a pain at times but otherwise no complaints, family love it Show details

Great car, great drive – Car has been great, really nice for the price, my expectations are exceeded, for 7 ppl there is more then enough room. I have a 2019 LDV D90 and has not missed a beat The cost for new brakes and Rotors was $1000 but other then that it has been great. Nice to drive Show details

Feel scammed and living a nightmare – This car has been a nightmare a absolute nightmare. Bought in august 2021 then the rain came and the car broke down , I drove in puddles that’s it I live in merrylands which doesn’t flood so I’m telling you it broke down from heavy rain and puddles like a toy car. Warranty wouldn’t fix it I paid from my own money to get it back on the road then a… Read more

month later it rained again I recorded it and as a joke I said I bet the car will brake down again and omg it did, the air intake filter got full of water and the car broke down I kid you not. Then a month later it broke down again this time no rain though just broke down. A brand new car I had driven 3500 km on it and it broke down 3 times and ldv refuses to fix it or supply me with a rental stating it’s been submerged in water and is flood damaged I wish I had a go pro so that I could show where I drive I drive 3 km to my kids school and back home that is all , the car is a joke and I’ve been scammed. I feel so depressed over it as I’m stuck with a car that can’t be driven in rain and puddles it’s caused me such hell being stranded at home with my 4 kids. I wish I had the resources to prove the car has never ever been near water or had the mental energy to fight this company but as a single mother it’s too much. Spent all my money to get a new car just to have something reliable to get the kids to school and to the park on weekends. Not one person I know has had this issue with there car but I was the fool who bought a ldv. I have gotten a advocate to try and get me justice I feel so badly treated this is so unfair.

Rubbish – Second time I bring this crap to level service, today still got no answer for why while I’m on 2 line freeway driving 110 took me back to 30 and nearly had an accident with a truck, very bad customer service, they told me they ring me back but they never do i need to contact them all the time and still got no answer, they don’t even give me… Read more

another car to go to work saying that they not support that , now I got no car no job and $47,000 wasted Never by this rubbish

Had to remove post for settlment – Removed post for settlement by ateco.cannot defame product.my hands are tied and I can't disclose the outcome.they were fair in the end and ateco became a good company to deal woth Show details

Such a lemon of a car – We have just clocked 5000km on our car. We were excited to purchase for our disability business but have sadly not been able to use it much. When we drive on a three lane highway 110km we have been trapped on the inside lane and the car just loses power and goes back through the gears to 2nd gear and we have to try and negotiate through the speedy… Read more

traffic to get to the side of the road. They did an update and we did not see the issue for a little bit BUT it then decided that it would not work in 4wd or eco or anything other than auto. We would select and it would just change back. No the loss of power occurs pretty much every time we go up any type of incline. The issues were reported when the car had under 200km on it and we asked for the car to be exchanged as it was a lemon. Maybe it was made on a Friday when everyone was keen to get to knock off drinks. I have completed every feedback survey they have sent me begging them to contact me to rectify but I only here....nothing. Has been back to the shop so many times and they say...hmmm that is unusual we have never heard of those issues.

Very happy – Bought in April 2021. Just coming up to 15,000 Kms and have enjoyed every one. Took a while to interpret settings on the infotainment system but the dealer was very helpful. Family of four all over 6 feet tall fit in extremely comfortably with a Labrador in the boot. Plenty of room. Feels luxurious at a low cost. Pleasure to drive around town and… Read more

motorway. Set adaptive cruise to 3 bars/cars and had no trouble. Recommend if bought from a helpful dealer.

Good Nice Car – Car runs very well. Only have per 100 km low mileage but otherwise luxury wise and for such low price, it is best. I bought it 2wd executive for 37k. Show details
