If you’re looking for a ute that can serve in the role of family transport the MG U9 Explore X is that kind of machine.
The middle of MG’s new U9 range, the Explore X offers a utility body, big tray and 3500kg towing capacity for blue collar jobs, but has a more SUV-like, white collar interior.
The U9 Explore X starts at $55,990, drive-away, and comes equipped with 19-inch alloys, a cargo slide rail with a hook in the tray, heated front seats, acoustic glass, vehicle app connectivity, voice command, a wireless smartphone charging pad, satellite navigation, Amazon music and the ability to receive over-the-air updates.
Like every model in the initial U9 line-up, the Explore X is powered by a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine which makes 160kW and 520Nm, and is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive system. Fuel consumption is a claimed 7.9L/100km on the combined (urban/extra-urban) cycle.
MG is offering its seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty for the U9, but only for non-commercial use, which is another nod to the ‘urban cowboy’ market the brand is targeting.
