MG has formally introduced its first pickup truck in Pakistan the MG U9, to the astonishment of many, that they have made such a bold entry into the diesel powered pickup market. When nearly all the world brands are moving towards EVs and hybrids, MG made another move and offered a turbo diesel engine powered truck, which indicates that the company has made a powerful entrance into the Pakistani pickup market.
The significance of this launch is seen in it being the only second country after Australia to be provided with the MG U9, considering the fact that Pakistan is an emerging pickup truck market.
Engine & Market Positioning MG U9
While Australia receives the U9 with a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine, Pakistan will reportedly get a similar powertrain configuration. Unlike MG’s EV-focused reputation, the U9 is built purely as a powerful diesel workhorse designed to compete directly with established models like the Toyota Hilux Revo and Isuzu D-Max.
The truck will be displayed and opened for pre-booking at PAPS on November 12, with deliveries expected to start in the first quarter of 2026.
