Looking for a spacious family car but want something fresh, modern—and electric? The Indian MPV segment has long needed new life, especially in the EV space. Now, that’s about to change.
July 2025 is all set to mark a big shift as two new MPVs—the luxury-packed MG M9 and the family-focused Kia Carens Clavis EV—gear up for launch. Here’s what you can expect if you’re eyeing your next big, comfy, future-ready people mover.
1. MG M9: India’s First Homegrown Electric MPV
First previewed at the Auto Expo 2025, the MG M9 will set a new milestone as India’s first locally manufactured electric MPV.
Big, Bold & Luxurious
The MG M9 isn’t small by any stretch. Measuring 5,200 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 1,800 mm tall, with a huge 3,200 mm wheelbase, it’s designed to feel like a living room on wheels.
Step inside and you’ll find a premium cognac brown interior with a 2+2+3 layout:
- The second row gets power captain’s chairs with massage, heating and ventilation.
- Fold-out ottomans add an extra lounge-like feel.
- The front seats offer the same comfort functions.
- A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and 7-inch digital cluster handle entertainment and driving info.
Power & Range
The M9’s front-mounted electric motor puts out 180 kW (241 hp) and 350 Nm of torque, backed by a 90 kWh NMC battery pack. Internal tests say it’ll run up to 548 km on a single charge.
Topping up is easy too:
- 160 kW DC fast charger: 0-100% in about 1.5 hours
- 11 kW AC charger: Full charge in 10 hours
Perfect for those who want luxury road trips—without the fuel bills.
Available at MG Select
MG will sell the M9 through its new MG Select dealerships, placing it firmly in the premium zone. Expect bookings to open later this month with deliveries to follow soon.
2. Kia Carens Clavis EV: Family MPV Goes Electric
Joining the MG M9 this month is the Kia Carens Clavis EV. If the M9 is about luxury, the Clavis EV is about family practicality—without emissions.
Seven Seats, Two Battery Options
Based on the facelifted Carens Clavis, this all-electric version will seat seven and offer:
- A 51.4 kWh NMC battery pack with an expected range of 490 km
- A likely standard-range 42 kWh pack, for buyers who want a more affordable option
Power output should sit at:
- 99 kW (133 hp) for the standard range
- 126 kW (169 hp) for the long range
Packed with Smart Features
Kia’s teaser hints at a modern, roomy cabin:
- Twin 12.3-inch cockpit displays
- Panoramic sunroof
- Sleek two-spoke steering wheel
- White upholstery for a bright, airy feel
Expect extras like:
- Ventilated front seats with 4-way power adjustment for the driver
- Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- Wireless charging
- Advanced driver assistance (Level 2 ADAS)
- Vehicle-to-load (V2L) bi-directional charging, so you can power gadgets or even other cars
The Kia Carens Clavis EV will officially launch on 15 July—mark your calendar if you’re in the market for an EV that the whole family can grow into.
Why This Matters
Until now, India’s MPV segment hasn’t offered true electric options. With the MG M9 and Kia Carens Clavis EV, buyers finally get:
- Big cabin space
- Modern features
- Zero tailpipe emissions
- Running cost savings
So whether you want a luxurious lounge on wheels or a smart, practical family shuttle, this month brings good news for you.
