JSW MG Motor India has launched the MG M9 at ₹69.90 lakh ex-showroom, marking its entry into the premium MPV space. Unveiled earlier this year, the MG M9 is the company’s first all-electric luxury seven-seater in India. It is aimed squarely at customers looking for a premium chauffeur-driven experience. With a claimed range of 548 km and segment-first luxury features, the MG M9 is a direct alternative to the likes of the Kia Carnival and Toyota Vellfire.
MG M9 – Design
The MG M9 features a clean exterior design with massive dimensions—5,200 mm long, 2,000 mm wide, and 1,800 mm tall, riding on a 3,200 mm wheelbase. These dimensions make it significantly larger than most MPVs in the market.
The front fascia carries a modern connected LED DRL design, split LED headlamps, a wide trapezoidal grille, and sculpted bumpers. The side profile gets dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels, Z-shaped chrome window trim, and powered sliding doors. The rear section houses LED tail-lamps with a wraparound light bar, completing the M9’s look.
MG M9 – Interior Design
Inside the cabin, the MG M9 offers a rich mix of premium materials and technology. It gets a cognac-brown theme with leather and suede upholstery, ambient lighting across all rows, and a panoramic sunroof setup—single-pane at the front and dual-pane at the rear. The dashboard is clean and minimalistic, featuring a 12.23-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7-inch digital driver’s display. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 13-speaker JBL sound system, and a digital IRVM are all part of the standard kit.
Second-row captain seats come with electric adjustment, ventilation, heating, massaging function, and powered ottomans. A control screen on the centre armrest allows passengers to adjust seat settings, blinds, and climate controls. Rear entertainment screens and wireless phone chargers are also included, reinforcing its chauffeur-oriented design.
MG M9 – Battery Pack
The MG M9 is powered by a 90 kWh NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) battery pack that drives a front-mounted motor. This setup delivers a power output of 245 hp and 350 Nm of torque. MG claims an MIDC range of 548 km on a single charge. While the official certification under MIDC or WLTP is pending, these figures put the M9 on par with most of the existing EVs in that price range.
Charging options include an 11 kW AC charger, which takes about 10 hours for a full charge, and a 160 kW DC fast charger that can top up the battery from 0 to 100 percent in approximately 90 minutes. The vehicle also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging.
MG M9 – Safety
The MG M9 comes equipped with a full suite of safety features. It gets seven airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, an electronic parking brake, tyre pressure monitoring system, all-wheel disc brakes, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. The MPV also includes a 360-degree camera system and Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, front collision warning, and autonomous emergency braking.
Internationally, the model has been rated five stars under both Euro NCAP and ANCAP safety standards.
MG M9 – MG Select Dealerships
The MG M9 will be sold exclusively through MG’s premium retail network, MG Select. Revealed in early 2025, MG Select comprises 14 experience centres spread across 13 major Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru (with two locations), Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Kochi, Chandigarh, Surat, Thane, and Gurgaon. These showrooms are dedicated to MG’s new-energy product line, which currently includes the MG M9 and the upcoming MG Cyberster electric sportscar
MG M9 – Market Positioning and Rivals
Priced at ₹69.90 lakh ex-showroom, the MG M9 sits in a segment with very limited competition. While there are no direct all-electric MPVs in this class, the M9 will be benchmarked against the ICE-powered Kia Carnival and the Toyota Vellfire. The Vellfire is significantly more expensive, starting at around ₹1.22 crore (ex-showroom), while the new Carnival is priced at a slightly lower ₹63.91 lakhs (ex-showroom).
Bookings of the MG M9 had opened a few months back, customers could reserve their cars online or visit an official dealership. The booking amount is set at ₹51,000. There has been no official communication from MG about delivery timelines.
