Overview
- MG publicly detailed the U9 EV’s local specification package, confirming an all‑wheel‑drive layout with two motors producing about 325 kW (436 hp) and 700 Nm of torque.
- The U9 uses a 102.2 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that MG says delivers a WLTP range of about 430 km and accepts DC charging up to 115 kW for a 20–80% charge in roughly 42 minutes.
- MG states the U9 matches traditional ute work metrics with a braked towing capacity of 3,500 kg, a 685 kg payload and 236 litres of front storage where an engine would sit.
- The vehicle is fitted with comfort and utility features such as four‑wheel electronic air suspension, Vehicle‑to‑Load ports, a 360‑degree camera system, heated/ventilated and massaging front seats, and a 12.3‑inch infotainment display with JBL audio.
- The U9 is a rebadged Maxus eTerron 9 and will arrive in Australia in AWD form only, with MG confirming the country as the first global market but not announcing local pricing or a launch date.
