Explore the detailed drive review, 100-0% range test, top features, and specifications of the MG M9 Electric Luxury MPV – India’s new premium EV rivaling luxury vans.
The Indian automotive market is witnessing a significant transformation as electric vehicles (EVs) begin to redefine luxury, and one of the most awaited models in this segment is the MG M9 Electric Luxury MPV. JSW MG Motor has officially opened pre-bookings for this all-electric premium people mover at Rs. 51,000, signaling the brand’s ambitions to upscale its EV game with exclusive MG Select showrooms.
MG M9 Electric Luxury MPV – Battery, Range & Performance
At the heart of the MG M9 Electric Luxury MPV is a robust 90 kWh battery pack mounted underneath the floor, which aids in space optimization and a low center of gravity. This battery powers an electric motor that churns out 245 bhp and 350 Nm of torque. In our 100% to 0% range test, the M9 showcased consistent performance, and the real-world range is expected to comfortably exceed 500 km, depending on driving conditions and usage.
Despite being a bulky MPV, the M9 maintains impressive composure and refinement on the road. Acceleration is linear, making it ideal for city cruising and highway comfort, and thanks to advanced regenerative braking, the energy recovery system contributes to extended range.
Design, Dimensions & Road Presence
One of the largest MPVs in its class, the MG M9 is massive. At 5,270 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width, and 1,840 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,200 mm, it commands a bold presence on Indian roads. Available in three elegant color choices — Cardiff Black, Luminous White, and Mystic Grey — the MPV’s design is both contemporary and classy.

Given its electrification and feature list, the expected ex-showroom price is above ₹90 lakh.
