Get ready to witness automotive luxury redefined. MG Motor is set to launch the M9 electric MPV on July 21, 2025, bringing what they boldly call a “Presidential Palace on Wheels” to Indian roads. Priced at an expected ₹70 lakh, this isn’t just another luxury vehicle—it’s MG’s ambitious statement in India’s premium electric vehicle segment.

The Presidential Experience Awaits
The MG M9 isn’t just marketing hyperbole when it promises a presidential experience. The second-row “Presidential Seats” feature an industry-first 16-way adjustability, complete with heating, ventilation, and eight massage modes. Imagine sinking into seats that rival those in Air Force One, with powered ottomans and lumbar support that can be controlled via a dedicated armrest touchscreen.
For India’s elite who’ve been waiting for an electric alternative to traditional luxury MPVs, the M9 represents something unprecedented: zero-emission luxury without compromising on opulence.
Size Matters: Commanding the Road
At 5,200 mm long, 2,000 mm wide, and 1,800 mm tall, the MG M9 dwarfs its competition. Its massive 3,200 mm wheelbase ensures that presidential-level legroom isn’t just a promise—it’s a guaranteed experience. This makes the M9 larger than both the Kia Carnival (₹63.91 lakh) and the Toyota Vellfire (₹1.22-1.32 crore), positioning it perfectly in the luxury MPV hierarchy.
The commanding road presence comes courtesy of split LED headlights, a prominent trapezoidal grille, and waterfall-style rear LED taillights that announce your arrival long before you step out.
Technology That Thinks Ahead
The MG M9 showcases technology that goes beyond typical luxury features. The 19-inch self-healing tyres with ContiSeal technology automatically seal punctures, ensuring your presidential journey never gets interrupted by mundane roadside delays. It’s the kind of forward-thinking feature that separates true luxury from mere expensive packaging.
Inside, the 64-color ambient lighting system, panoramic sunroof, and premium JBL sound system with 13 speakers create an environment that’s part luxury lounge, part mobile command center. The first-in-segment digital display IRVM and PM 2.5 air filter show MG’s attention to both innovation and health consciousness.
Electric Performance Meets Practicality
Powering this palace on wheels is a robust electric motor delivering 245 PS and 350 Nm, paired with a 90-kWh NMC battery. The claimed 548-km range addresses the biggest concern of luxury EV buyers: range anxiety on long journeys between cities.
With 160kW DC super-fast charging capability, the M9 can recharge in just 90 minutes—perfect for brief stops during intercity travel. The 55-liter frunk and massive 1,720-liter boot space (with third row folded) ensure you never have to choose between luxury and practicality.
Smart Manufacturing Strategy
MG’s decision to assemble the M9 locally at their Halol, Gujarat facility through CKD/SKD units demonstrates strategic thinking. This “Make in India” approach not only reduces import duties but also signals MG’s long-term commitment to the Indian luxury market, unlike competitors who rely on expensive CBU imports.
Safety Fortress on Wheels
The M9’s 5-star Euro NCAP and ANCAP ratings aren’t just numbers—they represent peace of mind for families investing in luxury mobility. Built with high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel, equipped with nine airbags and comprehensive ADAS features, the M9 ensures presidential-level security for all occupants.
The Luxury EV Revolution Begins
With the MG M9 launching on July 21, 2025, India’s luxury automotive landscape is about to change forever. At ₹70 lakh, it offers presidential luxury at a price point that challenges both the budget-conscious Kia Carnival and the premium Toyota Vellfire.
For Indian business leaders, celebrities, and luxury seekers who want to make an environmental statement without sacrificing comfort, the MG M9 represents more than transportation—it’s a mobile throne room that happens to be emissions-free.
The question isn’t whether the MG M9 will find buyers in luxury-hungry India. The question is whether competitors are ready for the electric luxury revolution that’s about to begin.
