Indian music composer and singer, Shankar Mahadevan, has brought home a brand new MG M9 EV. The 5.2-metre-long MPV is the only electric premium MPV on our shores, which was launched back in early 2025. Just recently, the M9 was picked by Indian cricketer KL Rahul. It is offered in three colour options: Metal Black, Concrete Grey and Lustre White; the latter two come with a black roof for a dual-tone look. Mahadevan has chosen the all black hue of the luxury MPV.
Let’s take a look at the lounge-like interior as well as the features and specifications of the MG M9:

Step inside the M9 and it’s all about minimalism and luxury. The cabin feels plush and welcoming, finished in a dual-tone tan and black theme with soft-touch materials all around. The real deal is the middle row with the two Ottoman captain seats with heating, ventilation, and massage function, as well as 16-way electric adjustment. They can also be reclined fully to form a bed. If you want to see how the rear-seat comfort is like, we've detailed the same in this report.
As for other amenities, it gets a 12.3-inch infotainment system, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, dual sunroofs, 64-colour ambient lighting, a 13-speaker JBL sound system, three-zone climate control, a wireless phone charger, and a powered tailgate. The front seats also get heating, ventilation, and a smart ‘welcome’ function that automatically slides back when the door opens.
Safety features include 7 airbags, a 360-degree camera, digital IRVM, all-wheel disc brakes, electronic parking brake with auto hold and level-2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).
