New MG 07 Mid-Size Sedan Revealed: Offering Both EV and PHEV Options

On May 9, the latest filing from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) revealed the first official images and specifications for the all-new MG 07, a mid-size sedan from the MG brand news and updates. Built on a brand-new platform, the MG 07 is expected to target the competitive 150,000 to 200,000 RMB ($20,700 – $27,600 USD) price segment. The model will be available in both pure electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) configurations, with a market launch scheduled for later this year.

In terms of design, the MG 07 adopts a fresh aesthetic language, reminiscent of the MG5 concept vehicle revelation. The front fascia features a closed-off grille (on the EV version), complemented by a “star-ring” full-width lighting signature and distinctive 7-shaped light clusters on both sides, ensuring strong visual recognition. The vehicle measures 4,886 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,478 mm (or 1,485 mm) in height, with a wheelbase of 2,825 mm, firmly placing it in the mid-size sedan category.

From the side profile, the car utilizes semi-flush door handles and features body-colored wheels paired with eye-catching yellow brake calipers, catering to the tastes of younger consumers. The rear end is highlighted by a full-width taillight assembly, with the MG logo positioned prominently below, creating a clean and layered look. Regarding intelligent driving, the MG 07 will be equipped with LiDAR and will utilize the Momenta R7 “Reinforced World Model” solution, powered by a dedicated X7 self-developed large model chip.

Under the hood, the pure electric version is powered by a drive motor (model TZ185XY1181) manufactured by SAIC Transmission, delivering a maximum output of 176 kW. The plug-in hybrid version features a 1.5L engine (model 15FHC) produced by SAIC Motor, with a maximum engine power of 82 kW, paired with an electric drive motor boasting a peak power of 152 kW.
