SAIC's practical electric people-mover — a spacious 7-seater with 440 km WLTP range, sliding doors, and room for the whole family or a business fleet. · 7 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOHUSNAT ZAREEF / PexelsOur verdict
6.2 / 10The Maxus Mifa 9 is a credible, value-oriented electric MPV that delivers genuinely useful range (430–440 km WLTP), a cavernous 7-seat cabin, and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating — all at a price that undercuts the Zeekr 009 and the Mercedes V-Class EV by a wide margin. In the UAE, it suits businesses needing affordable electric people-movers or families who prioritise space over prestige. The brand lacks the UAE service depth of Toyota or Kia, and resale values are an unknown, but for pragmatic buyers it represents good functional value.
Who it's for — Business fleets needing electric passenger vans; large families wanting EV practicality on a mainstream budget; buyers priced out of luxury electric MPVs.
