MG 07 Electric Sedan Launches With LiDAR And 845 Km Range

MG 07 electric sedan enters China market with LiDAR technology

The MG 07 electric sedan has entered pre-sales in China as the latest battery-electric fastback model from the MG brand under SAIC Motor. The model starts at 125,900 yuan ($18,540) and will officially launch in late August. Designed for the competitive mainstream electric vehicle segment, the MG 07 introduces LiDAR-based driving assistance technology, long-range battery options, and advanced charging capability. The top variant delivers a CLTC range of 845 kilometers and supports 5C fast charging, highlighting the brand’s focus on improving electric vehicle performance and user convenience.

The MG 07 is available in five battery-electric variants with different range and equipment levels. The 650 Comfort version is priced at 125,900 yuan, while the 610 LiDAR and 610 Flagship versions are priced at 135,900 yuan and 145,900 yuan respectively. The 845 LiDAR and 845 Flagship versions carry early-bird prices of 155,900 yuan and 165,900 yuan. Deliveries for approximately 600-kilometer range versions are expected from late August, while 845-kilometer variants are planned for delivery from early October.

LiDAR and AI driving system improve advanced assistance features

The MG 07 represents the first MG model equipped with LiDAR and includes one LiDAR sensor along with 11 exterior cameras in four of its five variants. The vehicle introduces Momenta's R7 world-model driving-assistance system paired with the Xheart X7 chip developed for large AI models. The entry-level version uses Horizon Robotics Journey J6B chip and does not support highway or urban navigation-assisted driving functions. Advanced driving assistance features are being provided free for a limited period.

Battery options deliver different performance and charging capabilities

The 650 and 610 variants of the MG 07 use a 67-kWh battery pack and front-mounted motor producing 176 kW maximum output. These versions accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. The 845 variants feature a larger 91-kWh battery and a 235-kW motor, reducing acceleration time to 5.9 seconds. The two battery groups use different electrical architectures, with the higher-range model adopting an 800-volt platform while lower-range versions use a 400-volt architecture.

The 800-volt MG 07 845 versions support 5C fast charging and can charge from 30% to 80% in 12 minutes. The 400-volt versions support a peak charging rate of 3C and require around 20 minutes for the same charging range. Battery suppliers also differ between variants, with 67-kWh models using hybrid solid-liquid batteries from Qingtao Energy and 91-kWh versions using ternary lithium batteries supplied by CATL. These configurations allow MG to offer multiple performance choices within the same vehicle lineup.

Design, technology features and market competition

The MG 07 measures 4,886 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,485 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,825 mm. The fastback design includes four frameless doors, a five-position adjustable power rear spoiler, a 168-liter front trunk, and a 697-liter rear cargo area. Inside, the vehicle features an 8295P chip, a 15.6-inch 2.5K central display, a 21-speaker 7.1.4-channel audio system, and a zero-gravity front passenger seat focused on premium cabin experience.

The MG 07 is positioned in one of the most competitive electric vehicle segments in China, competing against models such as BYD Seal 07 DM-i and Lynk & Co 07 EM-P. MG is also expected to introduce a plug-in hybrid version featuring a 1.5-liter engine and a WLTC battery-only range of 185 kilometers. The company’s current electric vehicle lineup in China includes the MG4 hatchback series and MG Cyberster sports car, expanding its presence across multiple EV categories.
