Kia India has announced a price hike of up to 2% across its entire model range, effective from 1 July 2026. The company stated that the revision has been necessitated due to rising input costs and increasing operational expenditure. While prices will go up across the lineup, Kia says it has absorbed a significant portion of the increased costs internally to minimize the impact on customers.

Kia India Price Revision From July 1st

The brand said it remains committed to offering customers best in class products and a strong ownership experience. According to the company, the increase will vary depending on the model and variant. The automaker has not revealed model wise price revisions at this stage.

The latest price revision will apply to all vehicles sold by Kia India, including internal combustion and electric models. The company currently sells the Sonet, Syros, Seltos, Carens, Carens Clavis, Carnival, EV6 and EV9 in the Indian market.

Kia India Says Increase Kept To Minimum

Kia India stated that it has made efforts to keep the increase as low as possible despite higher manufacturing and operational expenses. The company added that maintaining the value proposition of each product remains a priority.

The extent of the price increase will vary depending on the model and variant. Although Kia India has not disclosed exact figures, we expect the increase to start from around Rs 14,000 for the entry level Kia Sonet compact SUV. At the other end of the range, the flagship Kia EV9 electric SUV, which is imported into India through the Completely Built Unit route, could see a price increase of around Rs 2.6 lakh.

Kia India Portfolio Covers Multiple Segments

Kia India currently has a presence across several segments in the country. The Sonet and Syros competes in the compact SUV segment, while the Seltos caters to buyers looking for a midsize SUV. The Carens, Carens Clavis (EV and ICE) and Carnival serve the MPV segment, while the EV6 and EV6 are the CBU electric offerings from the brand.

The company has not announced any additional changes to specifications or features along with the price revision. Existing products and variants are expected to continue unchanged, with only prices being revised from 1 July 2026. Customers planning to purchase a Kia vehicle may benefit from booking before the revised prices come into effect.

Earlier, the model was priced at Rs. 69.9 lakh (ex-showroom), making it Rs. 5 lakh more expensive now. The M9 was launched in July 2025 and is retailed through MG’s premium MG Select dealerships, alongside the MG Cyberster electric sports car. Earlier this month, MG had also revised prices across its standard lineup including the Comet, Windsor, ZS, Astor, Hector, and Gloster, and now the M9 has also received a price hike.

MG M9 – Exterior Design

The MG M9 stands out with its large dimensions, measuring 5200 mm in length, 2000 mm in width, and 1800 mm in height, along with a 3200 mm wheelbase. This makes it larger than most MPVs currently on sale.

At the front, the MPV features connected LED DRLs, split LED headlamps, and a wide trapezoidal grille. The side profile gets sculpted lines, 19-inch alloy wheels, Z-shaped chrome window trim, and power sliding rear doors. At the rear, it gets LED tail lamps connected by a wraparound light bar, completing the overall design. The M9 is offered in three exterior colour options: black, white, and grey.

MG M9 – Interior design and Features

Inside, the MG M9 gets a premium cabin finished in a cognac brown theme with a mix of leather and suede upholstery. Ambient lighting is available across all three rows, while the panoramic sunroof setup includes a single-pane unit at the front and a dual-pane setup at the rear.

The dashboard follows a clean and minimal layout, featuring a 12.23-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7-inch digital driver’s display. The MPV also comes equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 13-speaker JBL sound system, and a digital IRVM as part of the standard equipment.

The second-row captain seats are a highlight, offering electric adjustment, ventilation, heating, massage functions, and powered ottoman support. A dedicated control screen on the centre armrest allows passengers to adjust seat functions, blinds, and climate settings. Rear entertainment screens and wireless charging are also included. The M9 also offers a usable third row, making it a full three-row luxury MPV.

MG M9 – Battery Pack and Range

The MG M9 is powered by a 90 kWh nickel manganese cobalt battery pack paired with a front-mounted electric motor. The setup produces 245 hp and 350 Nm of torque. MG claims a driving range of 548 km on a single charge under MMI testing conditions.

Charging options include an 11 kW AC charger, which takes around 10 hours for a full charge. With a 160 kW DC fast charger, the battery can be charged from 0 to 100 percent in approximately 90 minutes. The M9 also supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging functions.

MG M9 – Safety Features

The M9 comes equipped with a comprehensive safety package. It includes 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.

Additionally, the MPV gets a 360-degree camera and Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, and autonomous emergency braking. The model has also received a five-star safety rating in both Euro NCAP and ANCAP crash tests.

MG M9 – Market Positioning and Rivals

The MG M9 does not have a direct electric luxury MPV rival in India at present. However, it competes with premium ICE MPVs such as the Kia Carnival, Toyota Vellfire, and Mercedes-Benz V-Class. With the revised pricing of Rs. 75.90 lakh, the M9 sits above the Kia Carnival, which is priced at Rs. 59.42 lakh, while remaining significantly more affordable than the Toyota Vellfire at Rs. 1.22 crore and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class at Rs. 1.40 crore.
