MG has officially introduced its first-ever pickup truck, the MG U9, in Pakistan — and it’s already creating a buzz. While most auto brands are pushing EVs, PHEVs, and hybrid technology, MG has surprised everyone by bringing a turbo diesel pickup instead of an electric model. It’s a bold move, and it shows MG wants to compete directly in the traditional 4×4 segment.
Pakistan is the second country after Australia to receive the U9, which makes this launch even more interesting for local buyers.
A Diesel-Powered Beast Arrives in Pakistan
The MG U9 comes with a 2.5-liter turbocharged diesel engine, the same variant available in the Australian market. This means MG is positioning the U9 as a serious workhorse rather than a lifestyle electric vehicle.
Expected Rivals in Pakistan
- Toyota Revo
- ISUZU D-Max
- JAC T8
- And possibly future diesel 4×4 entrants
In Australia, the U9 competes with the Ford Ranger, so the Pakistani market can expect similar performance ambition.
Launch Timeline in Pakistan
MG will begin showcasing and accepting *pre-bookings starting November 12th at PAPS 2024.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.

Is MG U9 the Revo Killer?
The MG U9 targets the same buyer segment as the Toyota Revo — but adds:
- stronger torque
- more premium interior features
- modern safety tech
- bigger presence
- and a competitive diesel 4×4 setup
If MG prices it aggressively, the U9 could genuinely give Revo buyers a new alternative.
