In late 2024, LDV launched its massively facelifted D90, though the new-look seven-seat SUV dropped the option of turbo-diesel power, despite it being one of the most popular engine choices among its key rivals. Now the diesel has returned in the top-speed Executive 4x4 and new Lux 4x4 grades, both of which arrive alongside a number of significant pricing changes and incentives for the D90. ![The LDV D90 Luxe](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/2026/10/LDV-D90-LUXE-Diesel-2.5-4.jpg) LDV D90 Luxe From now until October 31, 2026, LDV is slashing $4500 off the drive-away price of the D90 nationally, both for ABN holders and private buyers. Though it’s not enough to undercut the current promotion for the Mahindra XUV700 – which sees the SUV priced from $29,990 drive-away – the LDV D90’s starting price of $36,990 for ABN holders and $39,174 for private buyers makes it the most affordable body-on-frame seven-seat SUV currently in Australia. | Model | ABN drive-away price (until October 31, 2026) | ABN drive-away price (from November 1, 2026) | Private drive-away price (until October 31, 2026) | Private drive-away price (from November 1, 2026) | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | 2026 LDV D90 Mode Petrol 4x2 | $36,990 | $41,490 | $39,174 | $43,674 | | 2026 LDV D90 Executive Petrol 4x2 | $40,990 | $45,490 | $43,384 | $47,884 | | 2026 LDV D90 Executive Petrol 4x4 | $44,490 | $48,990 | $47,068 | $51,568 | | 2026 LDV D90 Executive Diesel 4x4 | $46,990 | $51,490 | $49,700 | $54,200 | | 2026 LDV D90 Luxe Diesel 4x4 | $51,490 | $55,990 | $54,437 | $58,937 | ![The LDV D90 Luxe](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/2026/10/LDV-D90-LUXE-Diesel-2.5-8.jpg) LDV D90 Luxe In that grade, a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (producing 184kW/410Nm) is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-wheel drive layout. The same applies to the better-equipped D90 Executive 4x2 ($40,990 ABN/$43,384 private), while the Executive is also available as a 4x4 ($44,490 ABN/$47,068 private). Returning to the lineup is the option of a turbo-diesel engine, growing from the 2.0-litre previously available (which made 160kW/480Nm) to a 2.5-litre with 163kW/520Nm. For context, the Toyota Prado’s 2.8-litre turbo-diesel makes 150kW/500Nm, while Everest's single-turbo 2.0-litre diesel produces 125kW/405Nm, rising to 183kW/600Nm in the 3.0-litre V6. ![The LDV D90 Luxe](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/2026/10/LDV-D90-LUXE-Diesel-2.5-27-1.jpg) LDV D90 Luxe According to LDV, the 4x2 petrol consumes 9.1L/100km, the 4x4 petrol equivalent drinks 9.4L/100km, while the turbo-diesel uses 8.1L/100km – the latter being a reduction compared to its predecessor’s 9.1L/100km claim. While the D90 petrol can tow up to 3000kg braked, the D90 diesel matches its rivals with a braked towing capacity of 3500kg (increased from 3100kg). On the entry-level D90 Mode, standard equipment includes LED lights, 18-inch alloy wheels fitted with 265/60/18 tyres, roof rails, side steps, fender flares, black exterior door handles and mirror caps. Inside, there is a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, an 8 speaker audio system, artificial leather upholstery, multi-zone climate control, and paddle shifters. ![The LDV D90 Luxe](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/2026/10/LDV-D90-LUXE-Diesel-2.5-11.jpg) LDV D90 Luxe Safety and driver assistance equipment includes six airbags, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, lane-changing assistance, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot warning, and traffic sign recognition, as well as stability control, hill hold assist, and hill descent control for off-road use round out the package. On top of this, the D90 Executive adds a sunroof, power tailgate, dual wireless smartphone chargers, heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, height and reach adjustable steering column, plus a power-adjustable driver’s seat (eight-way, with four-way lumbar). D90 4x4s also get a rear differential lock. At the top of the range, the D90 Luxe gets 20-inch alloy wheels, front and rear differential locks, a panoramic sunroof, front seats with heating, ventilation and massaging functions, a power tailgate with kick sensor, JBL premium audio, and a 360-degree camera.
