The MG 07 is SAIC’s flagship fastback for the Chinese market, replacing the MG 7 that launched in 2023. It measures 4,886 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,485 mm tall on a 2,825 mm wheelbase, and is built on SAIC’s E3 “Nebula” modular platform at the group’s Zhengzhou plant. Pre-sales opened on 29 July 2026 with five battery-electric trims; the official launch and first deliveries follow in late August.
The range splits cleanly in two. The 650 Comfort, 610 LiDAR and 610 Flagship share a 67 kWh semi-solid-state battery from QingTao Energy and a 176 kW (236 hp) motor, reaching 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds on a 400V architecture with 3C charging, quoted at roughly 20 minutes for 30 to 80 percent. Range is 650 km CLTC on the base car and 610 km on the two lidar-equipped trims, which carry more hardware. The 845 LiDAR and 845 Flagship step up to a 91 kWh CATL ternary lithium pack and a 235 kW (315 hp) motor, 5.9 seconds to 100 km/h, on an 800V architecture with 5C charging rated at 12 minutes for the same window. The 845 km figure is CLTC, the Chinese cycle, which returns higher numbers than WLTP or EPA testing.
The 07 is the first MG sold with lidar. Every trim above the base 650 Comfort carries a roof-mounted unit plus 11 exterior cameras, running Momenta’s R7 “world model” driver-assistance software; the 650 Comfort uses a camera-only system built on a Horizon Robotics Journey J6B chip. Inside, all trims get a 15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen, an 8.88-inch instrument display, a 21-speaker 7.1.4-channel audio system and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8295P processor.
A plug-in hybrid version has also been shown, combining a 1.5-litre engine rated at 82 kW with a 152 kW drive motor and a 30 kWh battery for a claimed 185 km of electric range. It was not part of the July pre-sale and has no announced price. Pre-sale pricing for the electric cars runs from ¥125,900 to ¥165,900 ($18,600 to $24,500).
