But the really big news is that this will be a variation of the recently-released LDV (or Maxus) Terron 9 that’s also sold in Australia as the MG U9, courtesy of Chinese automotive conglomerate SAIC.

MG wants to become one of the most popular brands in Australia - which means it needs a ute.
The Chinese maker has taken assistance from its sister-brand, LDV, to rush the all-new U9 dual-cab ute into the market. But is it a case of too much too soon? Or is it the right ute at the right price?
