The big Mifa-9 is that rarest of rare things, an all-electric MPV that’s more devoted to passenger space than it is to the trend for an SUV style. For that, we appreciate it, but it’s far from the most thrilling thing to drive, and it’s not great for long-haul range. It’s also expensive, and has clearly been aimed more at the public service vehicle market than at private car buyers, but if you need lots of seats and want to go electric, your options are pretty limited at the moment.
