Grab, the Singapore-based ride-hailing and delivery platform, will deploy 50 units of the Maxus MIFA 9 electric MPV in Indonesia as part of its newly launched GrabExecutive service. The company is expanding its premium offering, which began in August in Jakarta and Bali and is designed to attract high-income and VIP users with luxury electric vehicles.
Indomobil Energi Baru (IEB), the official Maxus importer and a subsidiary of Indonesia’s Indomobil Group, has partnered with Grab to supply vehicles for the service. According to a report from Republika, the 50-unit deal represents an initial phase, with further electric vehicle procurement expected as the partnership progresses.

“We appreciate Grab Indonesia’s trust in using the Maxus MIFA 9 as its GrabExecutive service fleet. This collaboration strengthens Maxus’s position in providing premium and sustainable mobility solutions in Indonesia,” said Yudhy Tan, Chief Operating Officer of IEB.
The Maxus MIFA 9, also marketed by SAIC Motor under the MG and LDV brands in other regions, is a large luxury minivan measuring 5,270 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 1,840 mm tall, with a 3,200 mm wheelbase. IEB has brought the model to Indonesia in a single seven-seat configuration using a 2+2+3 layout and a pure-electric drivetrain.
The vehicle features a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor paired with a 90 kWh NMC battery pack, delivering 180 kW of power, 350 Nm of torque and an NEDC-rated range of 520 kilometres. The model is assembled locally in Purwakarta, West Java, using imported CKD kits.
GrabExecutive initially launched using the pure-electric BYD Denza D9, and the addition of the Maxus MIFA 9 expands the service’s portfolio of premium EVs. The company aims to strengthen its luxury mobility offering while supporting broader electrification efforts within Indonesia’s transport sector.
