Overview

History

On 29 January 2026, MG released teasers for a then-unnamed sedan similar in size to the MG 7 petrol-powered mid-size sedan. Its side profile as been compared to that of the SAIC Z7, another EV produced by SAIC Motor.[1] It will be built on SAIC's Nebula Platform, known as the Modular Scalable Platform outside of China, which has support for both battery electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains.[2] The first spyshots of the 07 surfaced in late February 2026.[3] The 07 was officially announced on 10 March 2026 alongside the 4X.[4]

Design

The 07 uses a five-door fastback design. It uses semi-hidden door handles and hidden inlets on the side. A full-width light bar is utilized for the taillight.[5] Thin headlights and a small air intake are utilized on the front. A small slot is also visible on the 07, meaning a plug-in hybrid version will be offered.[6] In addition to being compared to the SAIC Z7, the side profile of the 07 has been compared to the Xiaomi SU7 and the Porsche Taycan.[1]

Features

Spyshots of the 07 suggests that it will use interfaces co-developed by MG and Oppo that will allow integration between Oppo phones and the vehicle itself. A roof-mounted LiDAR sensor will also be included which will enable Level 2+ autonomous driving.[7]
