The Auto Grid Review
MG M9 Review: Our Verdict
The M9 is a rare sight in our Kondapur bay — sold through only a handful of MG Select showrooms nationally — but the two we've filmed so far share a theme: this is a car bought to be driven in, not driven hard, and it shows in how pristine the paint arrives. The split-LED front fascia and the deep waterfall tail-light bar are both flush, low-risk panels with none of the aggressive overhangs that chip on lesser MPVs, but the electric sliding rear doors are a genuine PPF challenge — the door-edge seal and the B-pillar track where the door slides need film that won't lift or peel with repeated powered motion. Buyers specify the Couture Edition's bespoke trim almost as often as the standard Presidential Limo in the bookings we've seen referred to us, which tells you this is a car chosen for a specific chauffeur-and-boardroom brief rather than cross-shopped against a regular SUV.
What we like
- +548 km claimed range and 90 kWh battery are genuinely usable for inter-city chauffeur duty
- +16-way Presidential second-row seats with massage rival anything short of a full-size luxury sedan
- +5-star Euro NCAP/ANCAP rating and Level 2 ADAS with driver monitoring
- +Lifetime HV battery warranty for the first owner
What we’d change
- –₹80 lakh+ price puts it against established Toyota Vellfire buyers with decades of brand trust
- –Sold through only 14 MG Select centres across 13 cities — service reach is thin outside those cities
- –No manual override trim — Presidential Limo and Couture Edition both come fully loaded at a steep price gap
- –CBU import means parts and body repairs take longer than a locally built MPV
Is the M9 right for you? Seven driver personalities, scored
Find the row that sounds like your driving life — that is the verdict that matters for you.
City Commuter
10–30 km a day through traffic
A 5.2-metre MPV is overkill for daily city commuting; its real job is airport runs and boardroom duty, not the school run.
Highway Cruiser
ORR laps and expressway weekends
548 km claimed range and a quiet, torquey motor make it a genuinely comfortable highway cruiser for inter-city chauffeur trips.
Family First
Four or five aboard, school runs to road trips
7 airbags and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating are reassuring, but this is sized and priced for a chauffeur-driven brief more than a typical family SUV swap.
Driving Enthusiast
Cares how it steers, not just how it looks
245 PS moving a near-2.7-tonne MPV is about comfort, not driving thrills — there's little here for a keen driver.
First-Car Buyer
Budget-conscious and resale-aware
At ₹80 lakh-plus and sold through a handful of boutique showrooms, this is nobody's first car.
Chauffeur-Driven Executive
Judged from the rear seat
This is the segment the M9 is built for — 16-way massage captain's seats, a 3-zone climate system and powered sliding doors judged entirely from the rear seat.
Weekend Explorer
Ghats, dirt tracks and monsoon roads
Front-wheel drive, road tyres and no stated off-road intent make this strictly a tarmac MPV.
Paint Protection
PPF for the MG M9: What We Install and Why
Where it takes damage
The powered sliding rear doors and their B-pillar track are the one panel this car's own mechanism can stress repeatedly; the deep waterfall tail-light bar and split-LED front fascia are otherwise low-risk, flush panels with minimal overhang exposure.
Our recommendation
AG1 full-front as the baseline, with the sliding door edge and B-pillar track specifically filmed using a cut that won't lift under repeated powered motion; full body for owners who plan to keep the car's resale value pristine for a boardroom or diplomatic brief.
Coverage
Full front plus both sliding rear doors and B-pillar tracks standard; full body recommended given the car's price point and low-mileage, chauffeur-driven use pattern.

FAQs
MG M9: Questions Buyers Ask
MG prices the M9 from ₹79.94 lakh (Presidential Limo) to ₹84.94 lakh (Couture Edition) ex-showroom, sold exclusively through MG Select. A Battery-as-a-Service plan brings the entry price down to ₹69.99 lakh plus ₹8/km battery rental.
The M9 uses a 90 kWh NMC battery with a claimed MIDC range of 548 km. A 160 kW DC fast charger takes the battery from 30% to 80% in about 30 minutes; an 11 kW AC charger takes roughly 10 hours for a full charge.
The M9 is sold only through MG Select, MG's luxury retail channel, with 14 Experience Centres across 13 cities as of its 2025 launch — not at regular MG dealerships.
MG Select reported 4–5 month waits at peak demand in late 2025; dealer estimates through 2026 range roughly 3–10 weeks depending on variant and colour. MG has not published a current official figure — confirm with your nearest MG Select centre.
For its intended brief — a chauffeur-driven luxury MPV for airport runs and boardroom duty — yes. It brings 5-star Euro NCAP and ANCAP safety, a genuinely usable 548 km range and second-row comfort few cars at any price match. It's a poor fit if you want a car to drive yourself daily; look at the Majestor or a regular SUV instead.
Yes to both. The M9 is sold only as a fully electric MPV in India — there is no petrol or hybrid version — and it has been on sale here since August 2025 via MG Select.
Yes. The second-row Presidential Seats offer 16-way adjustment with heating, ventilation and 8 massage modes, controlled through the Intelligent Arm Rest; the front seats get 12-way (driver) and 8-way (co-driver) power adjustment.
No. The M9 is a fully built-up (CBU) import — it is not assembled or manufactured locally, unlike MG's ZS EV, Astor, Hector and Windsor EV, which are built at MG's Halol plant.
The M9 undercuts the Vellfire's roughly ₹1.2 crore ex-showroom price by a wide margin while adding a 548 km electric range and 16-way massage Presidential seats, but the Vellfire has a much longer India track record, a wider dealer network and a petrol-hybrid drivetrain that doesn't depend on charging infrastructure for long trips.
Its powered sliding rear doors and B-pillar tracks are the panels we pay closest attention to, since the door's own repeated motion is the main wear point — not stone chips. We run full-front PPF with both sliding doors filmed as standard. Message Auto Grid on WhatsApp for a plan.
