The Maxus Mifa 9 is a battery electric and plug-in hybrid minivan manufactured by SAIC Motor and sold under its Maxus division, which launched on the Chinese car market in November 2021. The Mifa 9 is based on the same platform as the later announced gasoline powered Maxus G90.

Overview

The Mifa 9 was previewed by the Maxus Mifa concept presented at the Auto Shanghai in April 2021, showing the concept of a large, luxurious van with all-electric drive.[4] The production model called Maxus Mifa 9 made its official debut in November 2021 at Auto Guangzhou, being the largest and most luxurious electric vehicle of the Maxus brand.[5]

Visually, the Mifa 9 is distinguished by a massive, two-colour painted silhouette with a regular body shape with full LED lighting. The rear lamps were decorated with three-arm lamps, dominating the body in both width and length. The luxuriously arranged passenger cabin has space for 6 separate seats with a full range of adjustments.[6]

Production and sales of Mifa 9 began subsequently after the November debut, in the mainland Chinese market. Moreover, Maxus also plan to start selling the vehicle on selected markets of Western Europe, including the United Kingdom.[7]

The Mifa 9 is a battery electric minivan powered by a 183 kW; 248 PS (245 hp) and 350 NM electric motor. The CATL lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 90 kWh allow a range of around 520 km (320 mi). In 2023, a larger battery pack will allow a range of 650 km (400 mi).[8]
