MG Mgu9

FROM $52,990

The MG U9 mid-size pick-up was first launched in 2024 as the brand’s latest entry into the utility market. Built on a platform shared with SAIC’s Maxus division, the model was aimed at markets in Asia, South America and Australia. In some regions it was sold as the Maxus GST, but MG used the U9 name to build recognition in its growing passenger and SUV line-up.

By 2025 the MG U9 had received its first significant update. Styling was revised with a new front end and improved cabin technology. More variants were added, including dual-cab models with higher towing capacity. Safety and driver-assist systems were also upgraded to meet expanding regulations in export markets, including Australia. These changes helped the U9 appeal to a broader range of buyers.

Today the MG U9 sits in a competitive segment alongside the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and GWM Cannon. It gives MG a foothold in the mid-size pick-up market, one of Australia’s strongest categories. With value-focused positioning and international backing from SAIC, the U9 has become an important model in MG’s global line-up.

MG Mgu9 Interior

While the large centre console and jet-style gear selector add a bit of ‘toughness’ to the interior design.
