JSW MG Motor India has officially launched the MG M9, what it describes as the ‘Presidential Limousine’, under its premium brand MG Select.

The MG M9 is priced at an introductory ex-showroom rate of INR 6.99 million, which can be now booked through the brand’s online platform and select experience centres. The deliveries are scheduled to begin from 10 August 2025.

Positioned as a flagship electric luxury limousine, the MG M9 boasts a certified range of 548 km (as per standard MIDC testing), delivering a blend of high-end design, advanced EV performance and premium in-cabin experiences.

Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, JSW MG Motor India, said, “The MG M9 marks a new era, reflecting India's growing demand for luxury and sustainable innovation in automotive. Crafted as a symbol of prestige and technological prowess, the MG M9 blends avant-garde design, advanced electric performance and the finest features for India’ rising aspirations. With the MG M9, we have created more than a luxury limousine – we have curated a serene, opulent and responsible journey for discerning individuals. Every mile in the M9 is an invitation to experience refined comfort, uncompromising sustainability and effortless elegance.”

Promising presidential-level comfort, the MG M9 is equipped with 16-way adjustable Presidential Seats, 8 massage modes and heating & ventilation functions. A yacht-style dual sunroof invites natural light, while 64-colour ambient lighting allows passengers to customise the cabin atmosphere. A 13-speaker sound system with subwoofer and amplifier ensures a premium auditory experience.

Interior details reflect artisan attention — from Cognac brown leather & suede upholstery to an Intelligent Arm Rest that seamlessly controls key comfort functions. Flexible storage offers up to 1720 litres with foldable third-row seating and an additional 55-litre frunk under the hood.

Available in three colour options — Pearl Lustre White, Metal Black and Concrete Grey — the MG M9 features a bold trapezoidal mesh grille, minimalist split LED headlights and connected daytime running lamps for a distinctive, futuristic look. The rear design is equally elegant, highlighted by a waterfall-style integrated LED taillight signature.

Riding on 19-inch self-sealing ContiSeal tyres and equipped with heated ORVMs, the M9 promises a smooth, worry-free drive in all weather conditions.

Built with high strength and ultra-high strength steel, the M9 reinforces its safety credentials with 7 airbags, along with 5-star certifications from both EURO NCAP and ANCAP. Advanced driver assistance is delivered via Level 2 ADAS and an innovative driver monitoring system.

At the heart of the M9 is a potent 245 PS electric motor delivering 350 Nm of torque, powered by a 90-kWh NMC battery. The vehicle features fast charging capabilities, with the ability to charge from 30 percent to 80 percent in just 30 minutes, ensuring convenience along with high performance.

The MG M9 will be available for preview and test drives at 14 MG SELECT Experience Centres across 13 major Indian cities. Customers making pre-reservations – with a booking amount of INR 100,000 – will receive exclusive early access to vehicle experiences ahead of deliveries.
