From the moment the M9 Presidential rolls into view, it’s clear this car isn’t just about making a statement – it is the statement. At nearly 6 meters long, with its elongated silhouette, upright stance, and opulent chrome accents, it looks like it just left a summit with world leaders. The front fascia is clean and confident, with a vertical grille that looks ready to deflect judgment and possibly bullets! The sheer presence of this limousine is intimidating, but in the best possible way. It's a head-turner not because it's flashy, but because it's visibly important.
The MG M9 Presidential is equipped with a massive 90 kWh Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery, positioned flat beneath the floor for optimal weight distribution and cabin space. Per MG’s internal testing, it delivers a range of up to 548 kilometres on a single full charge. Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor producing 245 hp and 350 Nm of torque, delivering smooth, effortless performance even in such a massive vehicle. Fast Charging with a DC 160 kW charger goes from 30% to 80% in approximately 90 minutes, making it ideal for brief stops during long trips or chauffeur breaks . At home or office, with a AC 11kW charger, it will take 10 hours to charge from 0-100%.
Step inside the M9 Presidential, and the cabin feels like a cross between a first-class airline suite and a private boardroom. Reclining captain seats, ambient lighting with 64 colour options. The middle row seats have 16-way power adjustment, including sliding, reclining, headrest and lumbar shifts. Ottomans extend electrically to support your legs. You get ventilated seats with eight massage modes, plus a “Sleep Comfort Mode” that transforms your seat into a bed-like lounge by moving the front seat forward. All this can be controlled by an armrest-mounted touchscreen that puts control literally at your fingertips. Additionally you can also control the sunroof, operate windows, and the aircon and lighting for a personalised experience without ever touching the driver controls. The standard setup includes rear entertainment screens, smartphone mirroring, USB and HDMI ports—great for binge-watching on the go. You also get retractable cup holders, manual sun shades, and a power outlets to charge laptops or even power small appliances. MG, true to its nature,hasn’t skimped on tech. The M9 gets a 360-degree camera, radar-based ADAS features, night vision system, and even a driver attention monitor. It’s James Bond-level secure, minus the ejector seat.
The MG M9 Presidential isn’t for everyone — and that’s exactly the point. It’s a car for CEOs, heads of state, and those who don’t just commute, but make an entrance. For the rest of us, it’s a thrilling reminder of how far luxury, safety, and sheer presence can go when engineered without compromise.
