Electric SUVs get all the headlines, but what if you need something with serious space — without ditching the benefits of an EV? That’s where Maxus comes in. With the Mifa 7 and Mifa 9, the Chinese brand is bringing two all-electric MPVs to Europe that aim to deliver comfort, practicality, and long range in a family- or business-friendly package.
And they’re not just about hauling people — both models pack modern tech, decent performance, and the kind of cabin comfort you’d expect from much pricier rivals.
Maxus Mifa 7: Smart Family Space
The Maxus Mifa 7 is the newer and slightly smaller of the two. Think of it as a family minivan with a clean, modern design and the kind of tech you’d expect from a premium SUV. It offers three trim levels and two battery options:
| Trim | Battery | Range (WLTP) |
| Elite | 77 kWh | 410 km |
| Luxury | 77 kWh | 410 km |
| Premium | 90 kWh | 480 km |
Inside, the Mifa 7 is a proper seven-seater with a flat floor, tons of headroom, and clever storage solutions throughout. Even in the base trim, you get a digital cockpit, dual sliding doors, and a suite of driver assistance systems. Higher trims add leather seats, a panoramic roof, and more premium finishes — all without breaking the bank.

It’s aimed at families who need more than five seats but don’t want to drive something that looks like a commercial van. And it works — it’s comfy, well-equipped, and surprisingly refined on the move.
Maxus Mifa 9: Premium Electric Travel
If the Mifa 7 is the smart choice for big families, the Mifa 9 is the one for those who want electric luxury on wheels. The Mifa 9 is larger, more upscale, and more powerful. It comes as standard with a 90kWh battery, giving it up to 440km of range, and features a dual-motor setup in higher trims for extra punch.

Where it really shines is inside. You get six or seven-seat configurations, with individual captain’s chairs, reclining rear seats, massage functions, and even built-in screens in some versions. It’s like business class on wheels — ideal for VIP transport, shuttle services, or anyone looking to make a statement.
| Trim | Battery | Range (WLTP) |
| Elite | 90 kWh | 430 km |
| Luxury | 90 kWh | 430 km |
| Premium | 90 kWh | 430 km |
Maxus is pitching the Mifa 9 not just as a family MPV, but as a luxury alternative to the likes of the Mercedes EQV — and at a noticeably lower price point.
Charging, Tech and Warranty
Both models come with up to 11kW AC charging and support DC fast charging, getting from 30% to 80% in about 30-35 minutes depending on the battery. You also get over-the-air (OTA) software updates, meaning your Maxus will keep getting better after you buy it.
Driver assistance features are standard across the range, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. And yes — both models come with a 5-year vehicle warranty and 8-year battery warranty.
| Model | Vehicle Warranty | Battery Warranty |
| Mifa 7 | 5 years or 100,000 km | 8 years or 200,000 km |
| Mifa 9 | 5 years or 160,000 km | 8 years or 200,000 km |
Who Are They Up Against?
Electric MPVs are still a niche segment, but competition is heating up fast. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is probably the biggest name in the space, offering funky retro looks and strong brand appeal — but it comes at a premium, and with less range in some versions.
Then there’s the Mercedes EQV, which aims for luxury but can easily top €80,000 with options. The Peugeot e-Traveller and Opel Zafira-e Life offer van-based practicality, but feel less modern and aren’t as refined. The upcoming Volvo EM90 will go head-to-head with the Mifa 9 — and it’s shaping up to be impressive — but Maxus will likely undercut it on price and deliver sooner.
So if you’re after space, tech, and value — and you’re ready to go electric — the Maxus Mifa 7 and Mifa 9 are both well worth a look.
Verdict
The Maxus Mifa 7 and Mifa 9 prove that electric MPVs don’t have to be boring or expensive. Whether you’re a growing family, a shuttle operator, or just someone who needs serious space and comfort, Maxus has an option that’s practical, well-equipped, and ready for Europe.
With growing service networks, competitive pricing, and genuine electric range, these models could be the ones to finally make MPVs cool again — and clean, too.
