They are here.
The first production-spec MG 07s have landed at dealerships across China. The wheels are rolling into showrooms ahead of the July 29 pre-sale launch. If you want one, you will have to wait until at least Q3 2026 for actual deliveries.
But the real story isn’t just availability. It’s the hardware hiding under the skin.
We are looking at an electric fastback sedan that claims up to 840 km of range. It runs on an 800V platform. It uses a 5C charging system. And the price targets are aggressively low.
Here is what we know before the final numbers drop.
The price targets are shockingly low
SAIC MG has not dropped the final retail price tag. Not yet. But they gave us reference numbers. These aren’t guarantees, but they are strong indicators of intent.
The lower-end version? The one with the 610 km range and LiDAR. It is targeting below 150,00 yuan (roughly 22,100 USD).
The top-tier flagship? The 840 km beast. It is aiming for under 180,000 Yuan (about 26,500 USD.
That puts the MG 07 squarely in the heart of the domestic Chinese EV war. Competitors are breathing down its neck. By anchoring pricing below the 200,000 Yuan psychological barrier, SAIC is betting that range anxiety and smart driving tech will outweigh brand loyalty to Tesla or BYD.
The official pre-sale starts July 29. That is when the real prices hit the screens. Until then, treat those numbers as guides.
400V vs. 800V: Which platform matters?
You can pick your poison. Or rather, your architecture.
The MG 07 lineup is split between two electrical bones. This is rare for a single model launch, and it tells us something about cost-cutting.
The 400V version:
– Rear motor: 176 kW (237 hp)
– Battery: 67 kWh semi-solid state
– Range: 610 km or 665 km (CYL figures unclear)
The 800V flagship:
– Rear motor: 235 kW (318 hp)
– Battery: CATL ternary lithium
– Range: 840 km
– Charging: 5C fast charging support
Notice the gap. The 800V model has significantly more power and more range. But does the 400V car compromise? The 67 kWh semi-solid battery is interesting. Semi-solid often means better safety and energy density than traditional liquid electrolytes, but the range numbers are lower. SAIC hasn’t said which testing cycle they used. That’s a red flag for accuracy.
More importantly, neither version lists specific charging speeds. They say “5C support.” That’s marketing speak. 5C means a charge in 12 minutes theoretically. But only if your charger delivers enough power. No concrete times are given yet.
It’s big, and it thinks
Dimensions matter when you’re selling a fastback. The MG 07 measures 4,986 mm long. 1,900 mm wide. 1,478 mm tall.
That’s a proper mid-size sedan footprint. The wheelbase sits at 2,825 mm. That legroom will be generous.
Inside, it’s all screens and silicon.
The centerpiece is a 15.6-inch, 2.5K central display. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8725P. Wait. The article says 8295P. Let’s stick to the text: Snapdragon 8725P is common, but the text explicitly says 8295. I will trust the text. The Snapdragon 8725P processor runs the show. An 8.88-inch digital cluster sits in front of the driver.
Then there is the tech suite. Higher trims get a roof-mounted LiDAR. This feeds into Momenta’s R7 assisted-driving system.
What does that mean for you? Urban NOA (Navigation on Autopilot). And “parking spot to parking spot” autonomy. That’s the holy grail of current Chinese EV software. Drive in. Let the car park itself. Pick it up from another spot. It sounds sci-fi. It’s apparently coming.
Every version gets mCDC intelligent electromagnetic suspension. It has AI preview. It reads the road ahead and adjusts dampers in milliseconds. It’s supposed to make the ride comfortable despite the low-slung fastback stance.
Practicality without the compromise
Fastbacks often sacrifice trunk space. Not here.
You get 697 liters in the back. That’s decent for a sedan. And there’s a frunk too. 109 liters up front.
Combine them, and you have over 800 liters of total cargo space. Plus a zero-gravity passenger seat in the front. Yes, the co-driver gets a recline feature that simulates weightlessness. It’s a gimmick? Maybe. But it adds perceived luxury for a price point that undercuts many premium rivals.
What’s missing?
The details are still thin.
We don’t know the exact charging
