MG M9 MPV: Details
The M9 MPV is a premium electric van which gets some rather unique styling bits. It gets an upright, slab-like nose, with a full-length LED strip running along, and the 'Morris Garages' badging spread just above. The headlights are placed on the bumper, like most modern cars.
Moving towards the side, the front and rear door handles are placed in such a way that they look like one single unit, and the chrome treatment on the C-pillar stands out. The rear of the car will remind you of certain Japanese luxury MPVs, with a sleek vertical LED tail light treatment, and a full-length LED strip connecting them.
Under the skin, the M9 MPV features a single electric motor sending power to the front wheels, producing 241bhp nd 350Nm of torque. This setup is backed by a 90kWh battery pack, with a claimed range of 430km on a single charge.
