JSW MG Motor India is set to disrupt the premium mobility segment with the MG M9, the flagship offering under its newly launched 'MG Select' ultra-premium dealership network. Positioned as a "limousine MPV," the M9 promises unparalleled space, technology, and luxury. Here’s an extensive breakdown of everything revealed so far:
1. Commanding Dimensions & Striking Design (Expanded):
Size: Truly massive, measuring 5,200 mm (L) x 2,000 mm (W) with an expansive 3,200 mm wheelbase. This significantly outclasses rivals like the Toyota Vellfire.
Stance & Presence: The long wheelbase and wide track contribute to a dominant road presence. Large 19-inch alloy wheels fill the wheel arches.
Lighting: Features a modern split-headlamp design with slim LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) positioned high, likely above the main headlamp cluster. The rear boasts a full-width connected LED taillight bar.
Overall Aesthetic: Designed to convey luxury and spaciousness, likely with clean lines and premium finishes befitting its "limo MPV" tag.
2. Unparalleled Rear-Seat Opulence - The "Presidential" Experience (Expanded):
Access: Electrically operated sliding rear doors provide grand, effortless entry and exit.
Seating Configuration: Exclusively captain's chairs in the second row, marketed as "Presidential Seats."
Seat Features (Per Seat):
Heating, Ventilation (Cooling), and Massage Functions: Comprehensive climate and comfort control.
Fold-Out Ottomans: For full leg extension and reclined relaxation, creating a business-class airline seat experience.
Individual Touchscreen Controls: Dedicated screens for each rear passenger to manage their seat functions, climate zones, and likely entertainment.
"Boss Mode": A specific function (likely a button) that automatically slides the front passenger seat fully forward and potentially reclines it, liberating maximum legroom and creating an even more expansive rear lounge.
Ambiance & Comfort: Features include a large panoramic sunroof, manual rear sunshades (surprising at this level, electric would be expected), premium materials, and extensive cabin insulation.

EV-Specific Tech:
V2L (Vehicle-to-Load): Power external devices (e.g., laptops, appliances) using the car's battery.
V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle): Ability to share charge with another compatible electric vehicle.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): Confirmed Level 2 capability, implying systems like:

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

Likely more (e.g., Traffic Jam Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
7 Airbags: Comprehensive coverage (Front, Side, Curtain, likely Driver Knee).
360-Degree Camera: Essential for maneuvering such a large vehicle.
All-Round Disc Brakes: Ensuring strong stopping power.

5. Premium Positioning & Availability (Expanded):
Exclusivity: Will be sold exclusively through the 'MG Select' channel – a new network of 30 dedicated premium dealerships designed to offer a bespoke buying and ownership experience matching the M9's luxury positioning. This separates it from mainstream MG models.
Colours: Launch will be in three curated colour options (specifics not yet revealed).
Target Audience: Clearly aimed at the ultra-premium segment – high-net-worth individuals, corporates for chauffeur-driven travel, and those seeking the ultimate in spacious, tech-laden, zero-emission family transport.
