The MAXUS MIFA 9 is a striking and versatile electric MPV to lease, offering practicality and luxury in one package. With a vast seven-seat interior and generous standard equipment, it’s well worth considering as a large family car or private hire fleet model.

Key highlights of the MAXUS MIFA 9

Moving from a Mercedes V-Class into the electric age? Need to lease a car with seating for seven and a premium feel? Enter the MAXUS MIFA 9.

Yes, a company best known for making electric panel vans has branched out into the luxury MPV business, but the MIFA 9 has the specs to back it up. At 5.3 metres long it’s limo-like in size, meaning impressive space for up to seven adults.

The rear seats of the MIFA 9 are incredibly versatile. Opt for the Premium version and you get plush ‘captain’s chairs’ in the middle row that electrically slide in all directions and offer cooling, heating, reclining and massaging functions via a seat-mounted touchscreen. There’s also folding tray tables and multiple device charging ports.

The dazzling array of equipment in the MAXUS MIFA 9 Premium also includes electric sliding doors, twin electric sunroofs, a 360-degree parking camera, a digital rear-view mirror and various other features that makes regular family cars look decidedly basic. Every new MIFA 9 also comes with a five-year warranty for greater peace-of-mind.
