MG Motor India is all set to launch its latest and most premium electric MPV, the MG M9, tomorrow. This all-new model is the first offering under the companyโs new MG Select sub-brand and is aimed at offering a full luxury MPV experience in a fully electric format.
The M9 will come in just one fully loaded Presidential Limo variant, complete with every premium feature MG currently offers. If youโre looking for a top-tier EV experience in an MPV body style, the M9 is shaping up to be a strong contender.

Design
The MG M9 features a bold and boxy MPV profile with a wide stance and strong visual presence. Some design highlights include:
- Low-mounted LED headlamps
- Large front and rear overhangs
- Sleek, connected LED tail lamps
Inside, the cabin feels plush and executive, with a classy brown and black dual-tone interior theme running through all three rows. The real highlight here is the rear seat experience, where powered captain chairs take center stage.
MG is clearly focusing on rear passengers with this MPV. The second row is designed to deliver maximum comfort, with dual entertainment screens, a luxurious seat recline function, and plenty of legroom.
Features
As a fully-loaded top-end model, the MG M9 offers an impressive list of features that will appeal to luxury car buyers. Key features include:
- Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)
- Dual 12.3-inch digital screens for infotainment and instrument cluster
- Dual rear entertainment screens
- Multi-zone automatic climate control
- Powered captain seats in second row
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ambient lighting and high-end sound system
- V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality
- Wireless charging, USB Type-C ports, and connected car features
The level of equipment, especially for rear-seat passengers, clearly shows MGโs intent to make the M9 a chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle.
Powertrain
Under the hood (or rather the floor), the MG M9 uses a 90kWh battery pack, offering a claimed range of 548km on a single charge. The EV is powered by a front-mounted motor delivering 245bhp and 350Nm of torque, making it powerful enough for both urban and highway travel.
The vehicle includes adjustable regenerative braking, which lets you control how much energy is recaptured during deceleration. The M9 also comes with V2L support, meaning it can power external devicesโuseful for camping or emergency use.
Price
The official price will be announced tomorrow, but MG is expected to price the M9 between Rs. 60 lakh and Rs. 70 lakh (ex-showroom). This places it in the same segment as premium MPVs like the Toyota Vellfire and the top-spec Kia Carnival, though the MG M9 stands out by being fully electric.
Competition
Hereโs how the MG M9 stacks up against key rivals:
Model | Powertrain | Claimed Range | Expected Price |
---|---|---|---|
MG M9 | 90kWh EV, 245bhp | 548km | Rs. 60โ70 lakh |
Toyota Vellfire | Hybrid, 190bhp | NA | Rs. 1.2 crore |
Kia Carnival | Diesel, 200bhp | NA | Rs. 40โ45 lakh |
While the Vellfire offers ultra-luxury and hybrid power, and the Carnival leans toward value and practicality, the MG M9 carves a niche as a premium, all-electric MPV for those who want modern tech and comfort with zero emissions.
The MG M9 is clearly a statement vehicle. With its plush interior, advanced tech, and electric-only powertrain, it targets buyers who want a premium experience without going for traditional fuel options. If the pricing stays aggressive, the M9 could be one of the most exciting electric launches of the year.
