2022 LDV T60 Bull Demon King debuts as apocalypse ute

The 2022 LDV T60 Bull Demon King has been unveiled to the public, with an emphasis on off-road capability.

Despite the T60’s aggressive concept-car looks, Car News China is reporting the LDV ute will be going into production from next year, with order books already open in its native country.

The Bull Demon King gains a body-kit with black grille, orange highlights, a bonnet scoop, sailplane hoop, and bolt-on wheel arches. The apocalypse-ready scratch-resistant paint and all-terrain tyres complete the look.

To aid off-road driving, the LDV uses nitrogen-filled eight-way adjustable shock absorbers, while a 12,000-pound winch and LED flood lights have also been fitted.

It’s a different story inside, with a leather interior and a driver-centric dashboard design, with a floating integrated panel encompassing the infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster.

Under the bonnet, the ute is powered by a 2.0-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine producing 163kW and 500Nm, paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.

Pricing for the 2022 LDV T60 Bull Demon King is said to around ¥250,000, or AU$55,000, but there’s no word on whether the off-road ute is being considered for Australia.
