The Extender is MG’s midsize sports utility pickup truck that reportedlyshares almost 75 percent of its underpinnings with the MG Gloster SUV. InPakistan, it is likely to go up against the Toyota Hilux, the Isuzu D-Max,and the upcoming Volkswagen Amarok.
It is most commonly available in the international market with a 2.0-literturbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine that puts out 161 hp and 375 Nm oftorque. The truck is offered with two drivetrains – one is a 6-speed manualthat sends power only to the rear wheels, and the other one is anall-wheel-drive 6-speed automatic. However, which of these two will make itto the Pakistani market is still a mystery.
Although MG Pakistan had hinted at the launch of the Gloster SUV and the ZScompact all-electric SUV, none of them have been heard of for a long time.However, with the impending expiry of the Automotive Development Policy(ADP) 2016-21, the launch of all of these cars might take place soon.
