Just over six months since its India debut at the Auto Expo 2025, the MG M9 is finally set to launch tomorrow, July 21. The M9 will be the fourth all-electric offering from MG in the Indian market, and more notably, the very first electric luxury MPV to land on our shores. If you’re considering buying the M9, we’ve laid out five aspects of the MPV that are worth your attention.
What is the MG M9 expected price in India?
Likely to be priced around Rs 70 lakh
We expect the M9 to be priced at around Rs 70 lakh (ex-showroom) for its sole fully loaded trim, and it will be sold exclusively via the MG Select premium retail network. Going by this anticipated price point, the M9 will be positioned between luxury MPVs like the Kia Carnival (Rs 63.91 lakh) and the Toyota Vellfire (Rs 1.22-1.32 crore).
Which features does the MG M9 offer?
Gets every feature expected at its price point
In terms of creature comforts, the M9 is equipped with a 12.23-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, digital IRVM, cabin air filter, panoramic sunroof, wireless charger, 13-speaker JBL sound system, leather and suede upholstery, powered front and rear seats with heating, massage, ventilation, connected car tech, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) functionality, and more.
Level 2 ADAS, 360-degree camera, 5-star Euro NCAP rating, and more
When it comes to safety, the M9 leaves no stone unturned, offering 7 airbags, Level 2 ADAS, front and rear disc brakes, an electronic stability program (ESP), a 360-degree camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), etc. It also holds 5-star scores in both Euro NCAP and Australian NCAP crash safety tests.
How is the rear seat comfort of the MG M9?
Comfy captain seats with fold-out ottomans
The second-row experience is the highlight of the M9. On the other side of the M9’s electric sliding doors is a pair of plush and reclinable captain chairs that can deploy ottomans to let occupants stretch fully, and there’s also a powered boss mode on offer that automatically slides the front passenger seat forward to open up more legroom in the back.
Moreover, both captain seats get 16-way electrical adjustment and heating, cooling and massaging functions. Rear entertainment touchscreens, ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof make the M9’s second row an even nicer place to be.
What is the MG M9 range?
Nearly 550km, says MG
The M9 gets a 90kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery pack that’s wired up to a single front-mounted electric motor, chucking out 245hp and 350Nm. This powertrain yields a 548km range, as per MG’s internal testing, with MIDC-certified numbers yet to be confirmed. As for charging, a 160kW DC fast charger can top up the M9’s battery from 0-100 percent in 90 minutes, while an 11kW AC charger does the same in 10 hours.
Should you buy the MG M9 over a Kia Carnival?
M9 is larger than the Carnival
It’s difficult to answer this question before the M9 launches, and we know its exact pricing, but it’s worth noting that the MG MPV is dimensionally larger than the Carnival in every way. The Carnival is powered by a torquier diesel engine, but the M9’s all-electric powertrain may make it the more economical choice if you drive mostly within urban confines.
