MG 07 Sedan Launched at 2026 Chengdu Auto Show

MG 07 Launches With Aggressive Pricing in China

SAIC Motor’s MG brand has officially launched the MG 07 sedan at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show, with a limited-time starting price of 105,900 yuan ($15,620). The new model is available in seven variants, while official list prices range from 108,900 yuan to 159,900 yuan. Limited-time prices extend from 105,900 yuan to 156,900 yuan, and buyers can receive an additional 3,000-yuan subsidy for trade-ins and replacement purchases. The launch price is substantially below the 125,900-yuan to 165,900-yuan pre-sales range announced when pre-sales began on July 29.

The manufacturer said deliveries of the battery-electric 650 versions will begin in late August, while the 845 versions are scheduled to start deliveries in October. The sedan measures 4,886 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width and 1,485 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,825 mm. Its fastback body incorporates a liftback tailgate, four frameless doors and a five-position adjustable powered rear spoiler. Practicality features include a 168-liter front trunk and a 697-liter rear cargo compartment, giving the model a combination of aerodynamic styling and usable storage.

Electric Versions Offer Different Battery Architectures

The battery-electric 845 version uses an 800-volt high-voltage platform and a 91-kWh CATL battery pack, delivering a CLTC range of 845 km and supporting 5C fast charging. The 650 and 610 versions instead use 67-kWh battery packs and 400-volt architecture, with batteries supplied by SAIC-backed Qingtao Energy. This configuration gives the range-focused version a higher-voltage electrical system and larger battery, while the other electric variants use a different battery and charging architecture. The range and charging specifications position the 845 version as the technology flagship within the battery-electric lineup.

Plug-In Hybrid Version Extends Driving Range

The plug-in hybrid version combines a 1.5-liter hybrid-specific engine with a drive motor producing a peak output of 152 kW. It uses a CATL lithium iron phosphate battery pack and offers a CLTC battery-only range of 245 km. Its stated combined range reaches 1,745 km, while fuel consumption is rated at 2.91 liters per 100 km when the battery is depleted. The configuration gives buyers an alternative to the battery-electric versions while emphasizing extended driving range and low stated fuel consumption under the specified test conditions.

LiDAR and AI-Assisted Driving Technology Added

The MG 07 also introduces new driver-assistance technology for the brand. It is MG’s first model equipped with LiDAR and the first to use Momenta’s R7 world-model-based assisted-driving system. The system is paired with an Xheart X7 chip dedicated to large AI models, adding specialized computing hardware to the vehicle’s driver-assistance architecture. These technologies mark a significant expansion of MG’s intelligent-driving capabilities and broaden the model’s positioning beyond its powertrain specifications. The combination of LiDAR, assisted-driving software and dedicated AI processing is intended to support more advanced vehicle sensing and computing functions.

Technology-Focused Cabin Equipment

Inside, the sedan features a Qualcomm 8295P chip and a 15.6-inch 2.5K central infotainment display. The cabin also includes a 21-speaker 7.1.4-channel audio system and a zero-gravity front passenger seat. Together, these features give the model a technology-focused interior centered on high-performance computing, a large high-resolution display and enhanced passenger comfort. The equipment list supports MG’s effort to compete in a segment where digital interfaces, premium cabin functions and intelligent-vehicle features are increasingly important factors in product differentiation.

MG 07 Enters a Highly Competitive Sedan Segment

The new sedan is entering one of China’s most competitive vehicle segments, where it will face rivals including the BYD Seal 07 DM-i and Lynk & Co 07 EM-P. Its combination of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains allows the model to address different consumer preferences within the same product family. The lower limited-time entry price also gives the vehicle a more aggressive market position than the pre-sales pricing suggested. Competition in this segment will therefore depend not only on design and equipment, but also on range, charging capability, technology and purchase incentives.

MG Expands Its Electrified Vehicle Portfolio

MG’s electric-vehicle lineup currently on sale in China mainly comprises the MG4 series hatchbacks and the MG Cyberster convertible sports car. The new sedan expands the brand’s battery-electric offering into a highly competitive segment while also adding a plug-in hybrid option. The model therefore represents a broader product strategy for MG in China, combining multiple electrified powertrain choices with advanced driver-assistance technology and premium cabin equipment. Its launch also comes as automakers continue to compete aggressively on price, range, software capabilities and intelligent-vehicle features in the Chinese market.

Chengdu Auto Show Provides Launch Platform

The 29th Chengdu International Motor Show runs from August 21 to August 30 and is described as China’s first A-class auto show in the second half of 2026. The launch gives MG a prominent platform to introduce its latest sedan and communicate its electrification and intelligent-driving strategy. With deliveries for the battery-electric versions beginning in late August and October, the vehicle’s market performance will provide an early indication of how consumers respond to its pricing, range, charging technology and feature package within China’s crowded sedan market.
