MG just rolled out its first pickup truck in Pakistan. The MG U9 runs on a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine. It skips the EV and hybrid trend that most brands chase right now.
Second Market After Australia
Australia got the U9 first. Pakistan is next. There, it fights the Ford Ranger. Here, the main rivals are the Toyota Revo and Isuzu D-Max.
Pre-Bookings Start November 12
Visit PAPS on November 12 to see the truck in person. You can place a pre-booking that day. MG plans to deliver the first units in early 2026.
Key Specs at a Glance
- Engine: 2.5L turbo diesel
- Power: 215 hp
- Torque: 500 Nm
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Drive: 4x4 with low-range transfer case
- Payload: 1,020 kg
- Towing: 3,500 kg (braked)
- Ground clearance: 230 mm
The truck sits on a ladder-frame chassis. It comes with leaf-spring rear suspension for heavy loads. Front discs and rear drums handle braking.
Built for Work and Tough Roads
MG added a rear differential lock and hill-descent control. The bed measures 1,520 mm long and 1,590 mm wide. Side steps and roof rails come standard.
Interior and Tech
Inside, you get a 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Dual-zone climate control keeps the cabin comfortable. Six airbags and a 360-degree camera add safety.
Why It Matters
Buyers in Pakistan who want to purchase pickups prefer proven diesel power and genuine off-road capabilities. The U9 delivers both at a price that undercuts the Revo in base trim. Early orders will indicate whether MG can capture a share from Toyota and Isuzu.
Head to PAPS on November 12 if you need a tough work truck that skips the hybrid hype. For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
