MG U9 Ute Primed for Aussie Launch – Tested for Local Conditions by MG Motor Australia
The Australian ute market is set to welcome a bold new contender with the arrival of the MG U9, the brand's first-ever dual-cab utility vehicle. Following its global debut at the Melbourne Motor Show, MG Motor Australia is putting the U9 through its paces—right here on local soil. At Tynan MG Sutherland, we’re excited to bring this tough and technologically advanced utility vehicle to our customers, perfectly suited for both the outback and the urban jungle.
Built for Australia: Real-World Testing Across the Country
MG Motor Australia has announced a comprehensive local testing program for the MG U9, involving thousands of kilometres of real-world urban and rural driving. This local development phase is focused on tuning the U9 to meet the demanding expectations of Aussie drivers.
“Our local team is committed to fine-tuning the MG U9 over the coming months to meet the needs of Australian drivers,” said MG Motor Australia CEO Peter Ciao.
This isn’t just another rebadged import. The U9 has been engineered and refined by MG with Australia's unique driving conditions in mind—offering a ute that’s as rugged as it is refined.
Feature-Rich, Future-Ready
The MG U9 dual-cab ute is not just about toughness. It comes equipped with an impressive suite of modern features designed to elevate both work and lifestyle needs. Some standout features include:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- 360-degree camera system for safer manoeuvring
- Retractable tailgate step for easy tray access
- MG Pilot semi-autonomous driving technology
- iSmart remote access app for connected convenience
At Tynan MG Sutherland, we know these features make a real difference in day-to-day driving, whether you're commuting in the city or heading off-road on the weekend.
Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood, the MG U9 is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine—the same reliable powerhouse used in the LDV Terron 9. This proven drivetrain ensures the U9 will deliver the torque and efficiency required by Australian ute buyers, whether towing, hauling, or navigating tough terrain.
While full performance specs are yet to be detailed, early impressions suggest MG is targeting serious capability, without compromising on comfort or tech.
