JSW MG Motor India is gearing up to enter the premium MPV space with the launch of the all-electric M9 under its new brand identity, MG Select. This luxury EV is one of the first products to debut under the MG Select lineup and is set to arrive in showrooms within the next month. MG has already opened bookings for the M9 at a token amount of Rs. 51,000, either through dealerships or the company’s official website.
Design
The M9 takes a bold step in redefining what a premium electric MPV looks like. While complete design details are still under wraps, MG is likely to position this as a futuristic and luxurious family vehicle, equipped with advanced tech and comfort-driven features. With MG Select aiming for a more upscale image, the M9 will likely sport a minimalist yet elegant exterior paired with a plush interior setup.
Performance
The M9 EV will be powered by a large 90kWh battery pack. MG claims the M9 will offer a driving range of up to 430km on a single charge, which is quite competitive for its class. This range makes the M9 a practical option not only for city usage but also for long-distance family travel.
Here’s a quick look at the expected battery performance:
| Battery Capacity | Range (Claimed) | Charging Type |
|---|---|---|
| 90kWh | 430km | Likely fast/slow charging options |
MG hasn’t yet disclosed details about charging times or performance specs like acceleration or top speed, but more will be revealed at the official launch.
Colours
At launch, the M9 will be offered in three elegant colour options:
- Cardiff Black
- Luminous White
- Mystic Grey
These shades are clearly chosen to complement the MPV’s premium positioning and will likely feature subtle metallic or pearlescent finishes.
Features
Being a premium MPV, the MG M9 is expected to come fully loaded with creature comforts and tech-savvy features. While MG has not released a complete list, we expect the M9 to offer:
- Captain seats with recline and ventilation
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ambient lighting
- Large touchscreen infotainment with connected car tech
- Multiple-zone climate control
- ADAS features for enhanced safety
- Premium interior materials
It’s clear MG wants to set a benchmark in the luxury electric MPV segment, and the feature list will play a big part in delivering that experience.
Price and Rivals
MG is likely to price the M9 EV aggressively between Rs. 60-65 lakh (ex-showroom). If this estimate holds true, the M9 will go head-to-head with the new-generation Kia Carnival, which also targets the luxury family mover space.
Here’s a quick comparison overview:
| Model | Powertrain | Expected Price Range | Range (EV) |
|---|---|---|---|
| MG M9 | Electric | Rs. 60–65 lakh | 430km |
| Kia Carnival | Petrol/Diesel | Rs. 60–68 lakh | Not applicable |
With the M9 being fully electric and offering a comparable price and size, it may become the go-to choice for eco-conscious buyers who don’t want to compromise on luxury and comfort.
The MG M9 marks a significant step forward for MG Motor India as it enters the high-end EV market under its new MG Select brand. With strong range, premium looks, and a feature-rich package, this MPV could well be a game-changer in its segment.
