MG M9 MPV To Launch In India On July 21- All Key Details
JSW MG Motor India is set to launch its first MPV in the Indian market in the form of the M9 on July 21. This will also be the brand's first vehicle to be sold through the premium dealerships of the brand, along with the Cyberster electric sportscar. The brand started taking bookings for the MPV back in May for a token amount of Rs 51,000. Before the launch, here are all the details of the vehicles you need to know. MG M9: Design The electric MPV brings a square-shaped design intended to maximize cabin space. Its distinctive look is highlighted by an upright front adorned with LED lighting. Specifically, the front features headlamps integrated into the bumper, framed by a chrome trim that runs along the lower section of the vehicle. Additionally, a faux air dam has been incorporated at the bottom of the MPV. The rear design reflects this theme, boasting chrome details and vertically arranged tail lights connected by a full-width light bar. To further enhance its visual appeal, the brand has introduced various lines and shapes into the rear bumper. Stretching to 5,200mm in length, 2,000mm in width, and 1,800mm in height, the MG M9 has a 3,200mm wheelbase, surpassing models such as the Kia Carnival and Toyota Vellfire. MG M9: Features Among the features available for the MG M9 are a panoramic sunroof, 64-color ambient lighting, a 12-speaker audio system, luxurious presidential seating, 16-way adjustable seats, and 8 massage settings with both ventilation and heating options. All of these features are available with Pure Black or Cognac Brown interiors. MG M9: Powertrain MG has placed a 90 kWh battery pack beneath the M9's floor. This battery powers a 245hp, 350Nm motor located on the front axle. According to the brand's internal tests, the M9 can achieve a range of 548km on one charge. It takes 90 minutes to fully charge using a 160kW DC fast charger. With an 11kW AC charger, which can be set up at home or at work, a complete charge from 0 to 100 percent requires about 10 hours.

MG M9 first drive review: A new era for luxury MPVs
MG M9 is the largest in its segment. It is expected to slot between the Kia Carnival and the Toyota Vellfire. Notify me When luxury MPVs started arriving in the Indian market, no one thought that they would become a success. For the longest time, the Toyota Vellfire has dominated the segment. Then came the first gen Kia Carnival, which was priced at a significantly lower price and did really well. Then came the 2nd-gen Kia Carnival, which was priced around ₹ 63 lakh ex-showroom. Most people thought that it would not sell. But again, people were wrong; it was sold out. Now, JSW MG Motor India is trying their hand out in this segment. The brand showcased the M9 at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, and now the brand is preparing to launch it in the Indian market. It will be the company's first product that will go on sale through their new MG Select stores. What makes it unique is that it is the only limousine in the Indian market that is electric. So, how does it perform? What are the highlights of the MG M9? We got to spend a couple of hours with the new electric limousine in Goa and here's our first drive review. MG M9: How is the design? The M9 stands out on our Indian roads because of its sheer size. It measures 5,270 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width and the wheelbase is 3,200 mm. This makes the M9, the largest luxury limousine in the Indian market. Up-front, there is a trapezoidal grille that also helps as an air dam to cool down the electronics, then there is a chrome strip that runs throughout the width of the car and the headlights, which is what gives that imposing look to the M9. On the sides, there are 19-inch alloy wheels but again a chrome strip has been given that justifies how long the M9 actually is. At the rear, there are thin LED tail lamps with swiping animation for the turn indicators along with another chrome strip that runs throughout the width of the car. JSW MG Motor India will sell the M9 in three colour schemes - Metal Black, Concrete Grey with black roof and Pearl Lustre White with black roof. MG M9: How are the rear seats? The M9 will be bought by the people who will spend most of their time in the second row and it is the place where you should be. There are two Ottoman seats for the second row that are 16-way adjustable. They are heated, ventilated and have a massaging function as well. All of this is controlled via a small screen placed on the armrest. There is also a boss mode to adjust the front passenger seat from the second row itself. The rear occupants can also recline their seats fully to take a nap. MG also offers a leg rest that is just like a cherry on top. The second row is an amazing place to be in, you can rest, take a nap or just travel in peace with the sunshades up. There is also a screen on which the customers can attach a device using an HDMI port or play content from a streaming service. One thing that MG missed with the rear seats is the addition of the tray table that could have been quite useful considering people who buy such luxury limousines end up working while they are travelling as well. Then there are the third row seats which can be accessed simply by walking through the middle of the second row. The third row is surprisingly spacious. Even a 6-foot-1-inch person was able to sit comfortably in the third row which was quite a surprise. The third row occupants get a USB port, mobile holder and a cup holder as well. MG M9: How is the ride quality and the drive? The suspension of the MG M9 is on the firmer side. You can feel every minor undulation of the road inside the cabin. This is what robs the experience. Now, this firm setup does help the EV in having a composed and stable ride when doing triple-digit speeds out on the highways. In fact, even in the corners, the M9 stays flat without any major body roll. It was quite a surprise by how much we loved spending our time in the driver's seat. The acceleration is linear even when you are in the Sport mode. The brakes do require some effort as in you really have to press the pedal to make this behemoth come to a halt. However, you do get used to it. Once again, MG has calibrated the regen very smoothly. It kicks in gently and there is not jerk that any of the passengers can feel. The steering weighs Speaking of MG doing things again, they have incorporated almost all the controls into the infotainment system. Now, this will really need some learning because the menus can also be confusing. Then there is the instrument cluster for the driver, it is a different unit from the Windsor and the Comet and it looks a bit cluttered and does not show a battery percentage. Instead, it has a battery icon just like on the smartphone and an estimated range indicator. Now, the issue with this is that we know that the range indicator on MGs is not the most reliable and it does not adapt to the vehicle's conditions in realtime. MG M9: What is the range and battery specs? JSW MG Motor India is using a massive 90 kWh battery pack that can charge from 30 per cent to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes, if you can find a suitable fast charger. It has a fast charging capability of up to 160 kW. The AC fast charger takes 9.5 hours to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100 per cent. The electric MPV will come with a 3.3 kW portable charger. As of now, the brand has not revealed the driving range of the MG M9. MG M9: Who should buy it? There is no denying the fact that the MG M9 is a bold new take on luxury mobility. As of now, we do not know about the price of the M9 but we expect it will slot between the Kia Carnival and the Toyota Vellfire. The M9 does make sense for people who will be chauffeur-driven within city limits. The second row is the highlight of the M9 because of how supremely comfortable the seats are. If that stiff suspension does not bother you, then the M9 does make a great buy, considering the quality and the supreme comfort it offers. First Published Date: 11 Jul 2025, 09:59 am IST

JSW at Wheel in MG JV, Looks to Up Stake as SAIC Takes Backseat
JSW Group plans to raise its stake in JSW MG Motor India , its car manufacturing joint venture with SAIC Motor . The Chinese company has decided against committing further capital to India, instead prioritising investments at home and in Europe. Parth Jindal, director of JSW MG, told ET the group would become the single largest shareholder in the maker of Astor and Hector SUVs. Currently, JSW MG is a 51:49 joint venture, with JSW owning 35%, Indian financial institutions 8%, MG Motor India dealers 3%, and JSW MG Motor India employees 5%. The remaining 49% is with SAIC, which will continue to extend technology and brand support, he added. Alongside, the Sajjan Jindal-led group has finalised two separate licensing pacts—one each for electric passenger and commercial vehicles —with Chinese automakers, as it pushes ahead with its ambition of emerging as a full-spectrum electric mobility company.
