5 Things We Love About The MG M9

MG may have started with humble beginnings in India, but with the M9, they’re shooting for the stars, and possibly a spot in your dream garage. It’s long, it’s electric, and it’s seriously luxurious. After spending quality time with this massive people-mover, here are five things that genuinely made us fall in love with the M9.

1. Easy To Drive, Even At Over 5 Metres Long!

When you first lay eyes on the MG M9, its sheer size is intimidating. But get behind the wheel, and it surprisingly doesn’t feel like you’re piloting a bus. The flat bonnet, large windows, camera-based IRVM, and smooth steering all work together to make it very manageable in tight spots. City traffic? Doable. Parking lots? Still doable. Your ego after parallel parking this behemoth? Slightly inflated.

2. A Drive Experience That’s Calm… But Can Be Fun

The M9 is built for laid-back, chauffeur-driven comfort, and it nails that with smooth throttle responses and linear power delivery. But tap into Sport mode and it surprises you with a healthy dose of enthusiasm. The 245 PS motor and 350 Nm torque won’t scare sports cars, but they do put a smile on your face during overtakes or quick getaways. It’s the best of both worlds, relaxed when you want it, and a bit lively when you need it.

3. Comfort That Floats Over Most Roads

MG has tuned the M9’s suspension to be on the stiffer side, but on well-paved roads, the comfort is top-class. More importantly, the cabin insulation is brilliant; wind noise, tyre noise, and even honks seem like someone else’s problem. Whether you’re crawling through the city or cruising on the highway, the experience inside feels eerily peaceful. It’s like your personal luxury cocoon with ambient lighting and massagers.

4. Serious Space For Six, Plus Room To Breathe

Three rows, six adults, and zero complaints. That’s the MG M9’s promise, and it delivers. Whether it’s the generous legroom in the third row, the clever storage options throughout the cabin, or the thoughtful touches like USB ports and cupholders everywhere, this is a car made to move people comfortably. Luggage space with all rows up isn’t bad either, and folding the third row opens up serious boot real estate.

5. Nothing Comes Close To That Second Row

Let’s be honest, the second row is the real reason you buy the M9. With seat ventilation, heating, eight massage functions, electric ottomans, individual screens, and a full control panel for everything from sunroofs to lighting, this row is luxury on another level. There’s even a ‘Sleep Comfort’ mode that turns the seat into a business-class bed. No other MPV or SUV in this segment, electric or not, comes close to offering this kind of experience at the back.

ZigSays...

If you're looking for a luxurious family EV that nails the basics while also pampering you silly, the MG M9 deserves serious consideration. It's easy to drive, genuinely comfortable, and that second row? Worthy of envy from some private jets. MG hints at a price around the Rs 70-75 lakh mark, which is almost half the price of the Toyota Vellfire. 

It would be interesting to see how the M9 performs in the Indian market.
