AutoExec Summary
MG is working on a secret new ute project for Australia, with details still scarce but a turbo-diesel dual-cab ute could be arriving in 18 months. The company is aiming to launch the right product for the Australian market, taking time to ensure it meets customer expectations and competes with top-sellers like the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux. Unlike the Kia Tasman, MG is unlikely to develop a unique pick-up for global sales, but is focusing on a localised product. The Australian market is important for MG, and the arrival of a ute could see an increase in dealerships nationwide.
