The commercial response to MG’s new fastback sedan continues to surge in the Chinese market. The manufacturer has confirmed that the MG 07 has received over 42,000 firm orders just 20 days after its official launch on August 21. The vehicle, available in plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and fully electric (BEV) versions, had already seen 10,000 reservations within less than two minutes of going on sale. Ten days later, it surpassed 31,000 orders, prompting the company’s management to request additional two battery assembly lines from CATL to keep up with demand.
The official price range for this model is between 108,900 and 159,900 yuan, which corresponds to approximately 14,000 and 20,500 euros. However, a launch promotion available until September 30 reduces the actual prices to a range of 105,900 and 156,900 yuan (around 13,600 to 20,150 euros), reflecting a highly competitive pricing strategy given its technological features.
Electric and plug-in hybrid variants
Mechanically, the all-electric versions stand out due to their integration of an 800-volt high-voltage electrical architecture. At its highest range tier, the model achieves up to 845 kilometers under China’s CLTC cycle (around 640 kilometers according to the equivalent WLTP calculation), powered by a super-fast charging capability of 5C that significantly reduces charging times at high-voltage outlets. The entry-level variants are equipped with a solid-state battery, enabling the MG 07 to achieve a range of between 610 and 650 kilometers.
The plug-in hybrid variant is equally interesting. This version combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that produces 82 kW (111 hp) with an electric motor. Together they deliver a maximum power output of 207 horsepower. It boasts a 100% electric range of 245 kilometers according to the CLTC protocol. With the battery depleted, fuel consumption is 2.91 liters per 100 kilometers. By combining the total capacity of the fuel tank with the charge level of the electric system, the MG 07 PHEV achieves a combined total range of up to 1,745 kilometers (CLTC).
Abundant features and autonomous driving
The driving assistance system includes advanced detection components mounted directly on the roof. The LiDAR sensor is available in the Hybrid 245 LiDAR, EV 610 LiDAR, and EV 845 LiDAR variants. This device works together with the proprietary X7 large-model processor and algorithmic software derived from the Momenta R7 model, optimizing the vehicle’s computing power and spatial sensing capabilities. The 07 can drive autonomously (under supervision) in urban areas and on highways.
The electric version with the longest range, equipped with LiDAR and its long-range driving feature, has a promotional price of 146,900 yuan, which is slightly less than 19,000 euros at the current exchange rate, making it one of the cheapest models on the Chinese market to offer such a combination. In the domestic market, the 07 must compete with highly established models like the BYD Seal 06 DM-i or the XPeng Mona 03. Among them, the MG stands out due to its price.
Possible arrival in Europe?
Despite the success it has achieved in China, MG has not yet announced its plans to bring the new 07 to our markets. The European sedan market is primarily dominated by premium brands. Production and industrialization in China will proceed in phases. First deliveries of the plug-in hybrid models and electric versions with a range of 650 kilometers began at the end of August, while the 845-kilometer variants are scheduled to hit the roads in October.
