MG 07: electric fastback with up to 845 km range opens for pre-sales in China
MG has opened pre-sales in China for the 07, a large electric and plug-in hybrid fastback sedan promising up to 845 kilometres of range and a semi-solid-state battery option.
The MG 07 is a large fastback sedan from SAIC-owned MG, offered in battery-electric and plug-in hybrid versions. It advertises up to roughly 840 to 845 kilometres of range, a semi-solid-state battery option and LiDAR technology. Pre-sales have opened in China, with a starting price of around RM74,000.
MG has opened pre-sales for its new 07 fastback sedan in China, according to reports, with a starting price of around RM74,000. Production-specification cars have reportedly already appeared in Chinese showrooms ahead of preorders, and promoted pricing starts from about 19,400 euros. The MG 07 is a large family car built by SAIC Motor and sold under its MG brand, offered in battery-electric and plug-in hybrid versions. MG advertises a driving range of up to roughly 840 to 845 kilometres, and the car is available with a semi-solid-state battery and LiDAR technology. Reports describe it as a flagship sedan whose styling echoes the Porsche Taycan, with a five-door fastback shape said to draw on the heritage of the MGB GT. The 07 arrives as MG pushes beyond its budget-car image. The brand has sold cars in Germany under its own name since January 2021, and a flagship with this kind of range and technology could sharpen its position in Europe — though whether the 07 will be sold outside China remains unconfirmed.
MG opens pre-sales for the 07 electric fastback in China
MG has opened pre-sales for the 07 in China, with a starting price of around RM74,000, according to reports. Production-specification cars have reportedly already been placed in Chinese showrooms ahead of preorders, giving prospective buyers an early look at the finished product.
The 07 is a large fastback sedan built by SAIC Motor, the Chinese corporate group that owns the MG brand. It is offered in both battery-electric and plug-in hybrid versions, positioning it as a large family car rather than a niche model. Reports also indicate the car is built on an 800-volt electrical platform, though MG has yet to publish confirmed technical specifications.
MG has promoted pricing for the model starting from about 19,400 euros, according to reports, a figure that would undercut many established rivals if carried into export markets. Whether the 07 will be sold outside China, including in European markets where MG has operated since January 2021, has not been confirmed.
Range of up to 845 kilometres and a semi-solid-state battery
MG advertises a driving range of up to roughly 840 to 845 kilometres for the 07, a figure that would place the electric fastback among the longest-legged battery-powered sedans on the market. Buyers can specify a semi-solid-state battery, a technology that promises higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion cells. The car also carries LiDAR hardware, supporting advanced driver-assistance functions.
According to reports, the MG 07 is built on an 800-volt electrical platform, which would allow faster charging than the 400-volt systems still common in many electric cars. MG has not confirmed that detail.
Much of the technical picture remains unverified. Battery capacities, power output and charging times have not been disclosed, and it is not yet clear how the electric and plug-in hybrid versions differ in range or price.
A flagship with Taycan looks and MGB GT heritage
Visually, the MG 07 adopts a five-door fastback silhouette that, according to reports, draws on the heritage of the MGB GT, the classic British coupé from the brand's earlier era. Observers have also compared its styling to the Porsche Taycan, a resemblance that has fed descriptions of the 07 as MG's flagship sedan. That positioning matters for the brand: reports suggest the 07 is expected to sit alongside the IM5 in MG's lineup, giving the SAIC-owned marque a pair of large electric sedans at the top of its range. The design signals a clear ambition to move MG beyond its value-focused image and into more premium territory.
What the 07 could mean for MG in Germany
MG is the car brand of SAIC Motor, the Chinese state-owned automotive group, and has been selling vehicles in Germany under its own name since January 2021. The brand has since expanded its footprint considerably: since late 2025, MG models have also been produced in Russia under licence and sold there under the Moskvitch brand. What this means for the 07 is still unclear. MG has not said whether the new sedan will be offered in Germany or other European markets. The car is so far aimed at China, where pre-sales have opened. German buyers watching the brand's growing range will have to wait for confirmation of any export plans before the 07 can be counted among MG's European offerings.
