Built for the work week and the weekend away

Electric utes are often a compromise on range or capability. The MGU9 EV is designed so you don’t have to choose.

3,500kgBraked towing capacity

Tow the van, the boat or the trailer

Not every electric ute is built the same. The MGU9 EV keeps heavy-duty towing capacity, so switching to electric doesn’t mean leaving the van at home.

Towing reduces driving range, so plan charging stops on longer trips and check your trailer’s weights against the vehicle’s towing specifications.

236LOne-touch front boot

A ute with a boot

An open tub leaves your gear exposed to the weather and wandering hands. The front boot keeps things secure and separate from the cabin.

  • Opens with the key fob, a button on the nose or the touchscreen
  • Keeps muddy boots, fishing bait and the day’s catch out of the cabin
  • 30 storage spots throughout the vehicle
  • Room for a standard pallet in the tub

5Ride heights, set from the touchscreen

Set the ride height to suit you

Four-wheel electronic air suspension lets you raise or lower the ute to suit the road and the people getting in. Save your preferred height and it’s ready every time.

  1. Very highExtra clearance for light off-road tracks
  2. HighRougher ground, and taller drivers
  3. NormalEveryday driving
  4. LowEasier to get in and out
  5. Very lowEasiest entry and loading

At highway speeds the ute lowers automatically to reduce drag and help extend range.

6.6kWVehicle-to-load through the charge port

Run a powered esky while you drive to keep food, drinks and your catch cold.

Questions about the MGU9 EV

How many variants are there?

Just one. The MGU9 EV is sold in a single specification, so there’s no trim level to choose between.

Is there fleet or ABN pricing?

Fleet pricing is available. Ask our team for the details that apply to your business.

What will servicing cost?

Servicing costs haven’t been published yet. We’ll share them as soon as MG Motor Australia confirms them.

Is there a diesel version of the MGU9?

Yes. MG also sells the MGU9 dual-cab ute with a diesel engine. We can talk you through both if you’re weighing them up.

Can I trade in my current vehicle?

Ask our team about a trade-in valuation when we contact you about your registration.
