flag MG U9, a new Australian pickup, launches late 2025 with strong tech and value, aiming to challenge top utes.

flag The MG U9, launching in Australia in late 2025, is a dual-cab 4×4 pickup built on the LDV Terron 9 platform, competing with the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, and Isuzu D-Max, as well as Chinese models like the BYD Shark 6 and GWM Cannon Alpha. flag Priced from $52,990 drive-away to $60,990 for the top Explore Pro, it features a turbo-diesel engine, a spacious, well-appointed interior with soft-touch materials, wide seats, and a panoramic sunroof, along with standard dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless smartphone mirroring, and power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats. flag Higher trims include massage functions, wireless charging, and satellite navigation. flag Early prototypes showed promising comfort and tech but raised concerns over build quality, including loose switches and creaking panels. flag Despite limited front storage, the U9 offers strong value and is key to MG’s goal of becoming a top-selling brand in Australia by 2030, given the ute segment’s significant market share.
