MG M9 Vs Toyota Vellfire: Specifications, Features, Prices Compared
Key Highlights
  • The MG M9 is larger in size although Vellfire is a bit taller
  • The Vellfire is an AWD petrol-hybrid offering while the M9 is a FWD electric
  • Vellfire costs nearly as much as two MG M9s

The luxury MPV segment in India has remained relatively limited in terms of options, with the Toyota Vellfire being one of the few offerings since its launch in February 2020. The ultra-luxurious Lexus LM followed it into India, and more recently, Kia launched the new-generation Carnival, albeit at a much lower price point compared to the Toyota-Lexus duo. Now, JSW MG Motor India has pushed a fresh contender into the luxury MPV space with the launch of its M9 electric MPV. The M9 is not only the first all-electric luxury MPV in the Indian market, but it also bridges the yawning gap that exists between the Carnival and Vellfire.

The MG M9 has a 90 kWh NMC battery pack, which is claimed to provide up to 548 km of range.


With the launch of the M9, MG appears to be positioning itself as a strong contender in the premium MPV space, where buyers are more inclined towards the Toyota Vellfire. While both target a similar segment, they differ fundamentally in their powertrains, with the Vellfire being a hybrid, whereas the M9 is fully electric. In this comparison, we take a closer look at how the new M9 stacks up against the Vellfire on paper.

Boot Space 945 litres 616 litres
Frunk Space 55 litres NA

MG M9 vs Toyota Vellfire: Features

These seats come equipped with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. Each seat also includes a personal touchscreen interface mounted on the headrest, doing infotainment duties and other in-cabin controls.
