MG’s first-ever double-cab pickup, the MG U9, has officially opened pre-orders in Australia and is expected to arrive in dealerships by the end of this year. Although the final pricing has not yet been announced, industry insiders predict that the MG U9 will start at over AUD 55,000 , placing it slightly above its sibling model, the SAIC Maxus (LDV) Terron 9, which entered the Australian market earlier in July.
Suspension Structure: Comfort vs. Load Capacity
The MG U9 adopts a multi-link independent rear suspension, which stands in sharp contrast to the Terron 9’s rigid rear axle with leaf springs. According to MG, this design not only delivers a more comfortable driving experience on rough roads but also retains the essential utility of a pickup—with a 3.5-ton towing capacity and a 1-ton payload.
This difference highlights the distinct strategies of the two brands in Australia: the Terron 9 focuses on traditional durability and utility, while the MG U9 emphasizes comfort and advanced technology.
Exterior, Interior, and Features
The MG U9 distinguishes itself with a unique front grille, body-colored lower bumper, and newly designed wheels. Inside, it features a redesigned central console, giving the cabin a more premium look. In addition, it comes with practical extras such as a foldable tailgate step, enhancing convenience for everyday use.
Under the hood, the MG U9 is powered by a 2.5T diesel engine producing 160 kW and 520 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system. Australian government certification documents confirm that the MG U9 has a towing capacity of up to 3.5 tons, with some variants offering a payload exceeding 1,000 kg.
Pricing and Market Position
For reference, the LDV Terron 9 “Origin” variant is priced at approximately AUD 53,674 driveaway for private buyers, while business buyers with an ABN can purchase it for AUD 49,990 . The MG U9 is expected to be positioned above this range, targeting buyers seeking a more premium, comfort-oriented pickup.
As an incentive, early customers will receive a AUD 1,000 accessories voucher, which can be used toward official MG add-ons. MG has also confirmed partnerships with accessory brands such as HSP, ARB, and AutoPacific, developing dedicated accessories like bull bars, tonneau covers, and roof racks for the U9.
