MG Motor India has officially opened bookings for its most premium electric offering yet — the MG M9 luxury MPV. Known internationally as the Maxus MIFA 9, this futuristic all-electric MPV is set to make a bold mark in India’s fast-growing electric vehicle market. The MG M9 combines impressive performance with unmatched luxury and practicality, offering a fresh and futuristic alternative to conventional premium MPVs.
With India seeing a steady shift toward electric mobility, the MG M9 is perfectly timed to meet the needs of upper-class urban families and corporate buyers who want comfort, space, and sustainability — all in one sophisticated package.
Booking Details and Launch Timeline
MG Motor India is now accepting official bookings for the M9 with a token amount of ₹51,000. Customers can visit MG dealerships or use the brand’s dedicated MG Select outlets to place a booking. The M9 is expected to be officially launched by the end of May 2025, with deliveries likely to commence shortly afterward.
This marks MG’s continued commitment to expanding its premium EV portfolio in India following the success of models like the ZS EV and Comet.
Design & Road Presence
The MG M9 is a head-turner in every sense. Built as a full-size MPV, its sleek lines, sculpted front end, and large LED lighting units give it a futuristic and commanding presence on Indian roads. The large panoramic windshield, striking grille, and aerodynamic design lend it a mix of elegance and presence that rivals even traditional luxury vehicles.
Its impressive dimensions — nearly 5.3 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.84 meters high — offer an imposing stance while promising extraordinary interior space.
Interior & Cabin Luxury
