After creating a strong impact with the launch of the ZS EV priced at Bt1.19 million, MG is expanding its product line-up further – this time with a 1-ton pickup truck.
The MG Extender will be officially launched in August, according to distributor MG Sales (Thailand) Co Ltd.
It will come with a 2.0-litre diesel turbo engine and a large number of safety features.
The Extender will be the highlight at the MG booth at this year’s BIG Motor Sale to be held at the Bangkok Trade and Exhibition Center (Bitec) from August 16-25.
The Extender is based on the Maxus T60 sold in China (MG is owned by SAIC Motoes of China), which is powered by a 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine developing 147 horsepower and 360Nm.
The Thai model will be assembled at the new MG plant at the Hemaraj Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate in Chon Buri, which is a joint venture between SAIC and Thailand’s CP Group.
