Introducing the 2026 MG U9 Ute: MG’s First-Ever Pickup
At Tynan MG Sutherland, we’re excited to soon welcome the 2026 MG U9 – MG’s very first entry into the competitive ute segment. Designed to deliver a blend of capability, technology, and comfort, the U9 is built for both work and lifestyle needs.
Power and Performance
Under the bonnet, every MG U9 is powered by a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, producing 160kW of power and 520Nm of torque. This is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a permanent four-wheel-drive system.
With a braked towing capacity of 3500kg, a low-range transfer case, and a rear-locking differential (with the Explore Pro also adding a front differential lock), the U9 is engineered to handle demanding towing, hauling, and off-road conditions with confidence.
Ground clearance measures 220mm, while wading depth is rated at 550mm, ensuring the U9 is ready for both worksites and adventure.
Built for Versatility
The U9 doesn’t just deliver on strength – it’s also designed with versatility in mind:
- Independent multi-link rear suspension for a smoother ride compared to traditional leaf-sprung setups.
- Payload capacity of up to 870kg depending on the variant.
- Approach, departure, and ramp breakover angles of 29, 25, and 20 degrees respectively.
- A full-sized spare wheel, side steps, and roof rails included across the range.
Technology and Comfort
Step inside, and you’ll find the U9 is as smart as it is tough. Standard features include:
- 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
- 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Dual-zone climate control with rear air vents
- Automatic LED headlights and rain-sensing wipers
- Keyless entry and push-button start
- Six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat
- Synthetic leather interior with paddle shifters
Higher trims add even more sophistication, such as heated and cooled seats, surround-view cameras, JBL premium sound, ambient lighting, satellite navigation, and connected services.
Safety at the Core
MG has equipped the U9 with a comprehensive suite of safety features, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers. Highlights include:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with forward and rear collision warnings
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist & Lane Departure Warning
- Blind-Spot Detection
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Driver Monitoring System with fatigue reminder
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring
- Front and rear parking sensors and reversing camera (upgraded to surround-view in higher trims)
A New Era for MG
The MG U9 marks a bold step forward for the brand – bringing MG’s reputation for value and innovation into the dual-cab ute space. With its combination of diesel power, advanced safety, impressive tech, and practical versatility, it’s a ute designed to suit Australian families, trades, and adventurers alike.
