I think she is way too harsh on the D90 review. I love mine, I have no trouble parking the SUV, I am used to big cars. It has a fantastic rear camera and sensors all around the car. The infotainment centre volume can be adjusted and who really cares if you have to use the volume control on the steering wheel and it clicks...turn it off, there is volume adjustments if you check out the settings. As for the side step...being as tall as this woman I use it purely to protect the side of the leather seat. The D90 has plenty of power even going up hills. It fits my 4 kids with plenty of room both in the 2nd and 3rd rows. The interior which she didn't like, everyone who checks mine out loves it...there was only 1 thing she said that I agree on and that's the fuel after you hit 100km left in the tank. It does go quicker than normal...other than that I have absolutely no problems with my D90. If you are thinking of buying the D90 take it for a test drive yourself and make your own decision
Hi buddy good hear you enjoying it. Just been to a dealer today and loved the D90. How many kilometres you have done by the time? Will appreciate if you put more comments on about service, engine reliability anything you find cons and pros. Thank you.
I test drive LDV D90, Mitsuibishi Pajero,Toyota Fortuner& Ford Everest . Honestly LDV D90 DIESEL best then all these SUV'S . And price is very reasonalbe. Because we not paying for the showroom staff like in other showrooms 20 of them working . I think thatswhy they have reasonalbe price.
always good to hear a review from someone who actually owns one. will have to give it a test drive as it appears to be great value for money. thanks for the insight!
I've been driven in an LDV before and I had no idea that it was a 'cheaper' brand of Chinese origin. Most of the comments on this thread are just racist, by people who still think Chinese = bad quality. Newsflash idiots: your iPhones are made in China, most of what is in your house is probably made in China. They are the world's leading engineers and manufacturers. How about you go try one of their cars before you completely dismiss a brand based purely on old racist opinions.
Yea so may idiots don't realise that literally everything they own is made in china. At the end of the day, no matter what country the product comes from, you get what you pay for
@@andregolledge2304 Exactly. My DJI drone is expensive but it's worth every penny as I have had it for 5 years now and has really been the best thing I have ever owned. And mind blown, it's made in china so the stereotype of cheap and poor quality is getting outdated.
@@andregolledge2304 Your statement is too broad. I buy heaps of gear from China. The quality between manufacturers varies greatly, even for similar products. Two of the criteria I'm looking for in a new car: Warranty time/km as (to me) this goes to confidence of the manufacturer. Service/support and accessories for the range. Try this for any brand of new car. Hello car support I need a new headlight, how much and when can I get one? Oh, and I'm on holidays in central Australia . IMPO.....That's the deal the separates car companies. I would have complained about rust issues on Chinese cars but after the Everest Trend issues, I better not.
I currently own a LDV 2018 4*4, 50,000 km+ atm, nothing’s wrong. You learn to live with the minor inconveniences but overall it get me A to B, loves it for the price.
Totally! We bought a Haval H2 Lux two years ago. We love it, very comfortable on a long trip. Still looks brand new, as it should. Cabin is a nice place to be. Well built and when we bought it, nothing came even close, when comparing the very long list of features and the drive away price. To me, the Haval offers exceptional value for money. No, it's not perfect, but for the money, it pretty well is!
As an expat living in China, and a former owner of German, Japanese, Italian, American, and Chinese cars , I could maybe tell you this car offers value, quality, comfort even style. it has cons as well: service convenience and parts. typically chinese cars are not as reliable as Japanese, maybe on par with GM. buy for less, but service is a risk factor where you are. Other brand options of 7seater full size suvs are becoming available just this year: Haval H9, more rugged capable, Geely is offering one soon that would be the best perhaps in quality and design. there are countless others coming up but I'd recommend these two.
Haval H9 was only rated 4 stars in the ANCAP tests, but D90 5 stars. So I reckon D90 is safer than H9. Also D90 is much more specious. If you are not doing serious 4D driving, D90 is a better choice IMO.

The Japanese turned up in this market many years ago with micro cars that nobody took seriously, the Koreans with the Hyundai Excel, which nobody took seriously either, now our friends the Chinese have things like this, which are probably more impressive. Take note, ladies and gentlemen, they aren’t playing around.
That's correct. Their model range now quite extensive and very affordable. With quite attractive and innovative interiors, high Tech and safety features that befit European vehicles twice their price and more, they're going all out to corner the market. Geely is a good example with the release of the Geely Coolray S variant. All the good gear for 1,198,000 PH pesos, or in US Dollars, $23,000...
As long as they don't have a service network you can forget about them. Car brands need a service network, that's what is expensive. Otherwise you've got a car you can throw away as soon as anything goes wrong.
It took japanese and koreans decades to build up a competitive service network and they had to throw millions over millions at it. Just importing cars is a piece of cake and doesn't make you competitive. You need to persuade thousands of dealers and mechanics that your brand is something to invest in. They will get there one day, but they can't just buy infrastructure over night. It will still take way more than a decade.
I think calling the Chinese "Our friends" at the moment is pushing it a bit far. Given China has more territorial disputes than any other country on earth, and continues to pi!@ off India, Japan, Taiwan the Philippines and other nations through illegal territorial disputes...i'd say quite the opposite is true. Then of course there is the espionage issues and labelling Australians "Gum stuck to the bottom of our shoes". The Chinese government is not making many friends internationally at the moment and I would be concerned owning a Chinese vehcile if diplomacy further disintegrates. There could be a lot of angry people looking to take their frustration out on Chinese symbolic items here and abroad. They are already burning Chinese flags and goods in India. The same will happen here if the CCP don't pull their heads in.
China doesn’t play by our rules and controls a good chunk of western media and controls many western politicians. They will eventually control enough politicians to become the shadow government of most western countries this century and starting with New Zealand. They are the new mafia but they do it exponentially better. As one of the consequences. I think the Chinese car industry is only getting bigger and you will see a massive amount of Chinese cars on our roads over the next few decades at least in NZ.
If your in a market for a cheap 7 seater 4WD, just buy a Pajero Sport. You can get a Pajero Sport for pretty much the same amount of money compared to the D90 (granted you wont get some creature comforts like leather seats). However, at least getting resale value and reliability in return.
Pajero sports are less attractive . They are so small in the front, your legs feel cramped and the floor is higher. Good for smaller people but not your average Joe. Alot of plastic to.
Need to stop putting the Acadia in the same category as Everest/fortuner/pajero and mux it's a front wheel drive with awd option it's a great SUV but not a true dual range 4x4 like this ldv and the others.
The comments about crap cars was also used when Japan made their first cars and also the first Korean Hyundai excel which had bad paint and transmission which were replaced twice, But over time look where they are now it is no longer the cheap brand it once was. It will take time for China to get the quality, safety and reputation to build rather spend the money on well known brands and holds their value untill Chinese brands gets better not become a beta tester.
The difference being that Japan and Korea don't steal technology and sell it as their own. China steals everything and does a half assed job of building it. I wouldn't buy a vehicle that has direct ties to the Communist Party of China. Remember, they hate us and harvest the organ of those they hate and persecute. We should avoid where possible purchasing any big ticket items from Chinese Companies. Huawei included.

@Derek Thompson For Australia market Ford sources cars from Canada, Europe, USA and Thailand. Chinese build Fords are for the local Chinese market and these are different from models for Australia, USA or Europe. Modern Ford 2.0 diesel Engines (Ecoblue turbo and biturbo) are produced at the Dagenham plant at the UK. Ford Endura transmission is manufactured at the USA at the Ford-GM transmission plant.
@@Melissa-zy6qi there is a big difference between lawful technology transfer and forced or stolen technology transfer. The CCCP is using companies like Huawei, Sister Cities and University Collaboration to steal western technology. Sooner or later China will burn for the actions of it's corrupt and unethical overlords.
Two ldv vehicles in my bosses fleet, going strong and good value. Drove one to Sydney and back and it sipped the diesel, effortless power, gruff but that is the tractor like sound of an engine not over worked. These would be better diesel, and if they toned down some styling. Biggest issue for my boss is he misses a CD player.
Seems like an excellent value for money. 43 grands for 7 seaters and very decent interior. Given the price and the value you get, IMHO, this vehicle sole problem is the Chinese badge. Badge snobbery and prejudice will be the hurdle that this car should overcome. If someone stuck a Korean badge on its nose, I bet you would be rodomontading the car in your review. The answer to the video sticker title is: Sure it can.
Reliability is also reportedly crap, and from my experience with Chinese product in general, buying cheap costs more in the long run. This goes for tools, cars and motorbikes
Haydrean That could be the case, but they tend to offer long warranty to counteract this concern. In addition to that, reliability of Korean makers was also scrutinised in the past, nowadays nobody really lose a sleep over Kia or Hyundai vehicles reliability. I think Chinese cars are in the same boat as Korean used to be a decade ago. With time, they will get there.
Nedahl Stelio. Thanks indeed. This huge Chinese SUV is a "fresh breeze" here in Oz! Saw many earlier iterations throughout China. Re 'CarsGuide Review Test Scores', one of my Son's In Law played suburban AFL ('Aussie Rules') as a 'Ruckman' (the really tall guy who contests the centre bounce), and his car experiences would be similar to your really (tall) husband. So! In awarding scores, I believe that your spouse completes the 'family team', ie. with you, at number 1(a). Mum, (& on occasion 1(b). as 'Single Nedahl), with "the Kids" at 2. So, I reckon it's only fitting to give 'Dad' score 3. [ps. hope this doesn't bust the CarsGuide plans, dreams & budget.]
@@craighill746 sorry Craig. I went to school pre decimal & only really think in height in Imperial. As a lifelong Richmond barracker, the Tiger's 2017 Flag was significantly helped by Shaun Griggs who was 'nominated' 'Tap Ruckman' at only 6 feet & half an inch (Really a ruck rover otherwise), but in all honesty, a ruckman's now 6' 3" and above. Anyway. Back to the subject, my son in law is (I think) 6ft 4inches which I'm told is 193cms. . :-)
interior is so much better than fortuner, endeavour, pajero sports, prado. It looks much sleeker. Looks like german. What do you mean it's "descent" ???
Where have you been hiding yourself?. Most all SUVs/MPVs rear tailgate/hatch opens up, with upmarket variants opening by remote, be it with the key fob, or waving a foot beneath the vehicle, and a button to close it. The only models that'll open from the side, are usually those SUVs with a spare tyre attached to the door, and mostly confined to earlier models. Any 2020 model released with a spare tyre attached, and side opening will be in a minority...
@@hujiaming6151 SUVs that have a spare tyre on the door will usually have side opening. Some of course have it both ways side opening and opens up. Some like the Citroen Picasso have the rear glass also as a separate hatch in combination with the tailgate opening up. So yes, I would agree that vastly owned popular makes as you describe will have it, but they are not the majority of SUVs around however, and my earlier comment was prompted by your initial comment as though you are not aufait with the huge array of models that have rear hatches that open up. Believe me, no offence was intended. I for one, do not consider a side opening rear door to be a disadvantage, especially if a heavy spare tyre is attached to it. Aside from that though, even without one, it's ideal for drivers who may be slightly built, and have trouble reaching up to grasp a hatch high up. Cheers, safe motoring...
@@davidhamilton506 Unfortunately, kiddo, my point is actually hidden, now I clear it for u: most people have their garage sized as 6m by 5.5m, so if you do have a big SUV like that with 5 m in length, after you drive into your garage and closed garage door, and start to unload/load the cargo, with a 1.2 m long side door open, it is incredibly difficult to unload/load the cargo, especially big ones. And with your math been done, that door is too long to be fully opened up when garage door is closed, especially when u need some privacy unloading the cargo. That is a great drawback that turn buyers away like myself. On the other hand, hatch doors which open upward only has a 0.5 m in length extension, and very easy with unloading/loading after it is fully opened up, even in confined spaces like your own garage. So, which is better which is worse is quit clear.
@@hujiaming6151 At 79 years old, I'll take "kiddo" as a compliment. In Australia, the standard attached double Garage is also around 6 metres square, and I agree with you that it's not enough , as lengthwise it should be an extra one and a half metres. Like you, I too like to unload my monthly shop in private. I have a smaller SUV with a rear hatch that opens up, and to nose it in to give room for the Mrs to walk around the front to enter the house, the tailgate will not lift all the way, but contacts the garage door if it's down. Only solution is to reverse in, whereby the tailgate misses the back wall by 10 centimetres, and allows the garage door to be down with roughly the same clearance. Behind the rear wall is the lounge room which is quite large, so to reduce it's width by one and a half metres wouldn't be that noticeable, but would pay dividends to the garage usable space overall. Thanks for your feedback, cheers and stay safe...
I would suggest zero. I live and work with young Chinese, I train Chinese pilots. To tell them you would buy a Chinese made cars and they would think you are certifiably mad. They think all Chinese made stuff is cheap and nasty. They all want to buy Audi, BMW and Mercedes. They equate imported = better quality. However, I think differently. I have driven all the Chinese cars, they are sure, not as good as the more expensive ones (CX9 etc) But at an average of $20,000 cheaper for the same or higher spec, most people wouldn't know any different. If a car is just a means to an end, such as a repmobile then they are perfectly ok. BTW SIAC Motor has been building cars since 1949 and is the Chines equivalent to GM. Just think of the sort of cars Hyundai were building 20 years ago. The Chinese are treading the same path.
Bad driving experience. Low price. Budget car. Low upfront cost and low resale price. Makes lots of random abs noises. Engine needs to be floored to get going and then it doesn't go forward until a few seconds. Steering is horrible and car doesn't go where you would be expecting. Drive this car slowly and don't expect much enjoyable driving experience and you will be fine. It's not quiet inside and bumps are easily heard inside the car when you hit them.
Thomas Hope a bit rougher in suburbia- but the Rexton is a strong contender. It would be nice if the Rexton had the indicator stalk on the RHD side (i.e. The right). I also suspect that the real world price would be more (ahem) negotiable with the LDV.
The suv is massive. But asusual the 3rd seating is in low position... Why the companies not even care about the knee up positions....still they want us to sit knees up.
@@deerghayuphukan1215 Thanks for the feedback. I found an LDV discussion group on Facebook and joined that recently. Am frankly a bit shocked to find out some of the issues that actual owners are experiencing with their LDV D90, which really shouldn't be happening.
@@funnymakerboy4199 Some of the issues are not engine related. One issue that seems to stand out is the radar cruise control, which seems to intervene erratically for a number of owners.
Never buy expensive tech from brands with no service network. How do you get spare parts? Who would be able to repair electronic parts? You have to be a naive dummy to throw that much money on something without a proper service network when you need it every day.

Sooner or later China will burn for the actions of it's corrupt and unethical overlords.

Is the Sheila doing sign-language or just channeling Tommy Cooper ?
Hai can you do review on haval h2
Surely a diesel would be a better engine in this big thing?
68404 there’s a diesel coming out in April :) that’s what I’m waiting for 😆
I am waiting for diesel one as well
I bet the diesel will be the 2.2TD 4 cylinder from the Ssang yong rexton
@@craigpodsprojames2500 it's a twin turbo version of the 2 litre found in Jeep's, Opel's and Alfa's
Pls add the dimensions at bottom for better understanding
Review the new ldv g10 van
isnt it the same as the old one? Just a diesel instead of petrol 2.0 and a body kit.
Does the second row air con come standard on other cars in the segment?
Can the middle headrest be taken out for better revision view 🤔
Brilliant and honest review,
Great car for such a good price.
Same to same mg gloster
Wait, the 43,990 is USD or another currency? Because if it is then it's not cheap.
Are you kidding? Quite clearly an Australian accent, it’s in AUD😂
I just lost count of similar looking Chinese cars flooding the market
Tell me if this launched in Philippines as MG Gloster
Wish this price is below 1.7 million pesos
So it could save a wallet from buying gs8
Friend bought this and regretted it. After 6 months gave the car back due to continuous breakdowns and extremely poor reliability.
Two ldv vehicles in my bosses fleet, going strong and good value. Drove one to Sydney and back and it sipped the diesel, effortless power, gruff but that is the tractor like sound of an engine not over worked. These would be better diesel, and if they toned down some styling. Biggest issue for my boss is he misses a CD player.
How about the punch and short distance speed burst
Good review :)
Seems like an excellent value for money. 43 grands for 7 seaters and very decent interior. Given the price and the value you get, IMHO, this vehicle sole problem is the Chinese badge. Badge snobbery and prejudice will be the hurdle that this car should overcome. If someone stuck a Korean badge on its nose, I bet you would be rodomontading the car in your review. The answer to the video sticker title is: Sure it can.
Badge snobbery and prejudice are factors for sure, but selling such a vehicle with a tiny, pathetic engine isn’t going to win any fans either.
R Soul
Agree. That’s a weak aspect of an otherwise could’ve been a good car.
Reliability is also reportedly crap, and from my experience with Chinese product in general, buying cheap costs more in the long run. This goes for tools, cars and motorbikes
Haydrean
That could be the case, but they tend to offer long warranty to counteract this concern. In addition to that, reliability of Korean makers was also scrutinised in the past, nowadays nobody really lose a sleep over Kia or Hyundai vehicles reliability. I think Chinese cars are in the same boat as Korean used to be a decade ago. With time, they will get there.
Hobo
Agree.
... so, the 43K+ is at the "lover" pricetag ?
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. Not available In the UK 🇬🇧 though
Go for an older model patrol if you want reliability.
The ones with grenade engines?
No not the older model 3 ltr
Im talking about the the older 2.8 ltr
Less mileage means it'll last for 50yrs in daily driving. Wouldn't even sweat.
The foe leather trim is heaps elegant than a piano Black finish.
Its interesting that a car has been badged as an LDV when its not a van even if its badged as a Maxus outside Australia and New Zealand.
Nedahl Stelio. Thanks indeed. This huge Chinese SUV is a "fresh breeze" here in Oz! Saw many earlier iterations throughout China. Re 'CarsGuide Review Test Scores', one of my Son's In Law played suburban AFL ('Aussie Rules') as a 'Ruckman' (the really tall guy who contests the centre bounce), and his car experiences would be similar to your really (tall) husband. So! In awarding scores, I believe that your spouse completes the 'family team', ie. with you, at number 1(a). Mum, (& on occasion 1(b). as 'Single Nedahl), with "the Kids" at 2. So, I reckon it's only fitting to give 'Dad' score 3. [ps. hope this doesn't bust the CarsGuide plans, dreams & budget.]
letsseeif Nedahl describes her husband as 185cm tall. That's 6'1". Your son in law is short for a ruckman.
@@craighill746 sorry Craig. I went to school pre decimal & only really think in height in Imperial. As a lifelong Richmond barracker, the Tiger's 2017 Flag was significantly helped by Shaun Griggs who was 'nominated' 'Tap Ruckman' at only 6 feet & half an inch (Really a ruck rover otherwise), but in all honesty, a ruckman's now 6' 3" and above. Anyway. Back to the subject, my son in law is (I think) 6ft 4inches which I'm told is 193cms. . :-)
letsseeif how tall is he?
I need a wood finish inside in mg glostar india
Can someone compare Ssang yang Gexton and D90 , which one is better?
Well naturally the *SSangYong Rexton* is by far the best, both in looks and features...
Ssangyong 👍
That’s a nice bit of gear, don’t mind the car either.
Nice review. Thank you. 💛💙
Another good review, thanks.. :)
she looks so small next to the car and Sydney is surely turning into Beijing!
They are getting pretty close in terms of air quality, judging from the state of affairs in this video.
@Hobo
Yeh yall need to go back to Europe 😆😆😆😆
It's because she's 5'3" Jake... that's why she's got issues with the rear view mirror as well (raise the seat darling).
I love loud engines.
This is mg gloster
interior is so much better than fortuner, endeavour, pajero sports, prado. It looks much sleeker. Looks like german. What do you mean it's "descent" ???
My family has one of these
The rear view isn't great because of the centre headrest.... Take the head rest out lol.
*Cough* BMW X7 👀😬
*cough* D90 was launched a year and half before the X7
Good, it has a hatch door which opens up, not like some SUV's back door opens side ways.
Where have you been hiding yourself?. Most all SUVs/MPVs rear tailgate/hatch opens up, with upmarket variants opening by remote, be it with the key fob, or waving a foot beneath the vehicle, and a button to close it. The only models that'll open from the side, are usually those SUVs with a spare tyre attached to the door, and mostly confined to earlier models. Any 2020 model released with a spare tyre attached, and side opening will be in a minority...
@@davidhamilton506 You know vastly owned RAV 4, L/Cruiser Prado, and Haval H9 all use side opened tail gate, and that design is no good.
@@hujiaming6151 SUVs that have a spare tyre on the door will usually have side opening. Some of course have it both ways side opening and opens up. Some like the Citroen Picasso have the rear glass also as a separate hatch in combination with the tailgate opening up. So yes, I would agree that vastly owned popular makes as you describe will have it, but they are not the majority of SUVs around however, and my earlier comment was prompted by your initial comment as though you are not aufait with the huge array of models that have rear hatches that open up. Believe me, no offence was intended. I for one, do not consider a side opening rear door to be a disadvantage, especially if a heavy spare tyre is attached to it. Aside from that though, even without one, it's ideal for drivers who may be slightly built, and have trouble reaching up to grasp a hatch high up. Cheers, safe motoring...
@@davidhamilton506 Unfortunately, kiddo, my point is actually hidden, now I clear it for u: most people have their garage sized as 6m by 5.5m, so if you do have a big SUV like that with 5 m in length, after you drive into your garage and closed garage door, and start to unload/load the cargo, with a 1.2 m long side door open, it is incredibly difficult to unload/load the cargo, especially big ones. And with your math been done, that door is too long to be fully opened up when garage door is closed, especially when u need some privacy unloading the cargo. That is a great drawback that turn buyers away like myself. On the other hand, hatch doors which open upward only has a 0.5 m in length extension, and very easy with unloading/loading after it is fully opened up, even in confined spaces like your own garage. So, which is better which is worse is quit clear.
@@hujiaming6151 At 79 years old, I'll take "kiddo" as a compliment. In Australia, the standard attached double Garage is also around 6 metres square, and I agree with you that it's not enough , as lengthwise it should be an extra one and a half metres. Like you, I too like to unload my monthly shop in private. I have a smaller SUV with a rear hatch that opens up, and to nose it in to give room for the Mrs to walk around the front to enter the house, the tailgate will not lift all the way, but contacts the garage door if it's down. Only solution is to reverse in, whereby the tailgate misses the back wall by 10 centimetres, and allows the garage door to be down with roughly the same clearance. Behind the rear wall is the lounge room which is quite large, so to reduce it's width by one and a half metres wouldn't be that noticeable, but would pay dividends to the garage usable space overall. Thanks for your feedback, cheers and stay safe...
Engine?
We call this thing MG GLOSTER 🇮🇳
I do really love everything about this car but if its being sedan i would surely love to buy one
just want ot know how much did LDV top up for this ads. haha
I’m impressed. 5 years time the Chinese will dominate the motor industry
Yeah
This vehicle is coming to India as the MG Maxus D90. But reading the comments here, theory wise this car sounds disappointing.
at the end of the day its a Chinese car which can never compete against Fortuner or endeavor
@@reeshabhjain well the fortuner and endeavour now don't even look close to gloster 🤷🏻♂️
160kw 480Nm diesel is available in it now.
Amazing
Wondering how many Chinese living in Australia buying Chinese branded vehicle?
I would suggest zero. I live and work with young Chinese, I train Chinese pilots. To tell them you would buy a Chinese made cars and they would think you are certifiably mad. They think all Chinese made stuff is cheap and nasty. They all want to buy Audi, BMW and Mercedes. They equate imported = better quality. However, I think differently. I have driven all the Chinese cars, they are sure, not as good as the more expensive ones (CX9 etc) But at an average of $20,000 cheaper for the same or higher spec, most people wouldn't know any different. If a car is just a means to an end, such as a repmobile then they are perfectly ok. BTW SIAC Motor has been building cars since 1949 and is the Chines equivalent to GM. Just think of the sort of cars Hyundai were building 20 years ago. The Chinese are treading the same path.
@@Ozgrade3 chinese cars may be actually better than the crap german cars they make now.
i plan to buy one to try, Haval H9, LDV T60，D90? which 4 wd is better
Dokdo Island in East Sea I got a MG HS, btw I am Chinese live half of my life in Adelaide
None. Never saw an Asian in a Chinese brand car.
I rather buy Ssangyong Rexton over this.....
Bad driving experience. Low price. Budget car. Low upfront cost and low resale price. Makes lots of random abs noises. Engine needs to be floored to get going and then it doesn't go forward until a few seconds. Steering is horrible and car doesn't go where you would be expecting. Drive this car slowly and don't expect much enjoyable driving experience and you will be fine. It's not quiet inside and bumps are easily heard inside the car when you hit them.
SsangYong Rexton Ultimate much much better for similar money
Thomas Hope but not direct competitors.
Craig Hill why not ?
Thomas Hope a bit rougher in suburbia- but the Rexton is a strong contender. It would be nice if the Rexton had the indicator stalk on the RHD side (i.e. The right). I also suspect that the real world price would be more (ahem) negotiable with the LDV.
Tom Hope a
The suv is massive. But asusual the 3rd seating is in low position... Why the companies not even care about the knee up positions....still they want us to sit knees up.
They are Head Restraints not Head Rests. They are there to stop you or your family breaking their neck in an accident. You should have known that.
That is the MG Gloster in india just with a few changes.
How does the MG Gloster perform in India? Is it a good seller? How is the reliability?
@@tempestv8 It's an average seller. Reliability is still a question mark.
@@deerghayuphukan1215 Thanks for the feedback. I found an LDV discussion group on Facebook and joined that recently. Am frankly a bit shocked to find out some of the issues that actual owners are experiencing with their LDV D90, which really shouldn't be happening.
@@tempestv8 I don't think it any reliable issue because Fiat source diesel engine.
@@funnymakerboy4199 Some of the issues are not engine related. One issue that seems to stand out is the radar cruise control, which seems to intervene erratically for a number of owners.
looks like a very large Tuscon
Great explain mam
Let’s keep the economy running and not patronise immitation products or we suffer the consequences in the future.
I like her as well as car.🚘🙋♀️
Why does she say "C*nts" at 37 seconds in??
This car sold in India with the badge of mg
Nice
I wouldn't want to be rear ended whilst sitting in the third row.
you wouldnt want to be rear ended in any SUV in the third row
You would't want to be rear ended in any car, regardless of type.
Is it a infinity?
What do you mean?
Infiniti is a luxury Nissan (sort of)
No
Ooooh 'cons'.....not what i 1st thought she said.
I think I had to listen to it 7 times
Resale in free-fall...
Greg Burville lucky it hasn't got far to fall, then.
Yes but they are cheap to start of with so it all relative .
Never buy expensive tech from brands with no service network.
How do you get spare parts? Who would be able to repair electronic parts?
You have to be a naive dummy to throw that much money on something without a proper service network when you need it every day.
I thought she said C*nts, and i repeated it like 10 times, and cant seem to think what she was saying.
I take the middle headrest off
Sadly,western europe(Israel,my country)is not part of the market...too many regulations that cost to much money for manufacturers.I envy you Australians
I love Israel and its people.
But in your place I'd be glad you don't get the Chinese crap cars... You will regret it after buying.
@@michaelwiebe4282 You may be wright(thanks for the warm words)we do see on our roads a chinees label-MG(and up untill2,3 years ago Great Wall(pick up).It did not sell 'like hot cakes'
@@noamzacks3315 I know the UK had or still has the Chinese-made MG. But I am glad we don't get the Chinese cars in my country as well, being German.
But, I think in 2008 or something, Brilliance was selling its sedan. Sometimes, very rarely, you still see some over here.
May God bless Israel and the UAE!
Too basic suv 🙄. Same model but different name Mg gloster (more luxury I think interior look likes BMW cars I saw)

if i try to buy this car ...so i go with 'kia telluride' ..coz 'kia tellride look like 'Cadillac Escalade' ye ye ...lol why i m joking i need to buy an iphone first ...

Dont Buy LDV, mine getting #rusts within a month. Even westco cairns blocked for postings rusting photos. I regret buying ldv d90. Rusting rusting
My mg gloster is good car
Primarily, reminds me Ford Ranger and tweaking of GM job.
Great review. But I don't trust the Chinese cars, over Japanese, German Korean or other western Brands.
either that car is enormous or you are like a little ballerina . . . the driver behind would not see you and think its driven by remote control
Mg gloster
Look likes a mg glostar
