T6: Redefining Nigeria’s Pick-Up Market.

…Confident, Capable, Uncomplicated

In a country where every journey tests strength, resilience, and performance, Nigerian drivers demand more than just transportation—they demand trust. The MG T60 rises to the challenge as more than a pickup; it’s a powerful companion built for work, adventure, and everything in between. With bold styling, robust engineering, and off-road mastery, the MG T60 is perfectly tuned for Nigeria’s diverse landscapes—whether navigating the hustle of city streets, the rough edges of rural roads, or the uncharted paths of construction and exploration.

Introduced to the African market in 2020 and engineered by SAIC Motor, China’s largest and most advanced automaker, the MG T60 carries the legacy of the classic British MG brand into a bold new future. And in Nigeria, where performance and value drive purchasing decisions, the MG T60 is emerging as a game-changer.

The MG T60 doesn’t just show up—it arrives with purpose. Its robust stance is backed by a well-proportioned profile, aggressive grille design, and bold LED headlamps that strike a balance between rugged durability and modern aesthetics. The squared-off wheel arches and high-riding body hint at its off-road potential, while its clean body sculpting and chrome touches offer just enough polish for city life. For Nigerian drivers who switch seamlessly between work duties during the week and leisure on the weekends, the MG T60 offers a visual identity that’s as versatile as their lifestyle.

In the Nigerian market, the MG T60 is offered in a 2.4-litre petrol 4×4 variant, developed on a time-tested MV Motori design. With 142 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque, this workhorse is no slouch. It boasts a 5-speed manual gearbox that delivers a smooth and engaging driving experience, whether you’re tackling the unpredictable streets of Lagos or powering through the challenging highlands of Jos. Thanks to its linear power delivery and responsive gearing, the T60 handles with confidence, even when fully loaded. Its ability to climb, haul, and overtake with ease makes it a reliable partner for professionals, contractors, logistics operators, and even outdoor enthusiasts.

The MG T60’s four-wheel-drive system, combined with 215mm ground clearance, makes it a standout performer off the beaten path. Whether navigating slippery mud roads in Bayelsa or rocky inclines in Plateau State, its limited-slip differential, solid underbody protection, and high approach and departure angles provide the traction and durability needed for Nigeria’s unpredictable conditions. Add to that its ability to ford water up to 550mm deep and handle extreme low-speed climbs, and the T60 becomes more than just a pickup—it becomes your all-terrain partner in productivity.

While the T60 may look tough on the outside, inside it’s impressively comfortable and practical. The spacious cabin can comfortably seat five adults, making it ideal for both work crews and families. With leatherette seats, dual-zone A/C vents, USB connectivity, and a user-friendly infotainment system, the T60 delivers a refined driving experience rarely seen in this segment. Safety and convenience are also top priorities. The vehicle includes dual airbags, ABS, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), reverse parking sensors, and child seat anchors, making it a smart choice for family use as well.

With fuel prices on the rise, Nigerian drivers are increasingly looking for vehicles that deliver both performance and fuel efficiency. The MG T60 strikes the perfect balance. Its efficient petrol engine and lightweight ladder-frame chassis ensure better mileage than many larger trucks in its class—without sacrificing load-carrying or towing capability. Whether you’re managing a business, transporting goods, or simply seeking a dependable vehicle for work and leisure, the MG T60 is built to work, built to last, and built for you.
