Get ready for a new era of luxury electric travel in India, as MG Motor is set to launch its highly anticipated M9 Electric MPV tomorrow, marking the first offering from its new ‘MG Select’ premium line of showrooms.
A New Chapter for MG India
The MG M9 Electric MPV is making its grand debut, signaling a significant move for the brand in the Indian market. This isn’t just any launch; it’s the inaugural product from MG’s new ‘MG Select’ initiative, aimed at offering a more curated and premium experience to customers.
True to its luxury positioning, the M9 will be available in just one top-tier variant, aptly named the “Presidential Limo.” This ensures that every M9 buyer gets the full suite of high-end features and comforts right from the start.
Design and Interior Highlights
Visually, the M9 embraces the classic boxy MPV silhouette, optimized for maximum interior space. It features distinctive elements like low-set headlamps and large front and rear overhangs, contributing to its commanding road presence. The connected tail lamps add a modern touch to its rear.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a sophisticated cabin trimmed in a elegant combination of brown and black across all three rows. The M9’s primary focus is on the rear passenger experience, highlighted by the inclusion of powered captain seats that promise unparalleled comfort for VIP occupants.
Packed with Premium Features
The “Presidential Limo” variant lives up to its name with a wealth of advanced features. Drivers will appreciate the Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) for enhanced safety and convenience.
For rear passengers, the luxury continues with dual screens, perfect for entertainment or productivity on the go. Other notable inclusions are multi-zone climate control, dual digital screens for the cockpit, and a panoramic sunroof that bathes the cabin in natural light, creating an airy and spacious feel.
Power and Performance
Underneath its luxurious exterior, the MG M9 is a capable electric vehicle. It’s powered by a substantial 90kWh battery pack, designed to offer an impressive claimed range of 548 kilometers on a single charge. This makes it suitable for both city commutes and longer journeys.
The MPV features a front-wheel-drive layout, with the electric motor delivering a robust 245bhp and 350Nm of torque, ensuring smooth and responsive acceleration. Additionally, the M9 supports V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) technology, allowing you to power external devices, and offers adjustable regenerative braking to maximize efficiency.
Expected Pricing and Market Rivals
When it comes to pricing, industry experts anticipate the MG M9 to be positioned in the range of Rs. 60 lakh to Rs. 70 lakh. This strategic pricing places it in direct competition with established luxury MPVs in the Indian market.
It will go head-to-head with formidable rivals such as the Kia Carnival, known for its spaciousness and features, and the ultra-premium Toyota Vellfire, setting the stage for an exciting contest in the high-end MPV segment.
