The MG 07 features frameless doors, a five-stage electric rear spoiler, and 19-inch wheels. Storage is provided by a 168L front trunk and a 697L rear trunk. The sedan measures 4,886 mm (~192 inches) in length, 1,900 mm (~75 inches) in width, and 1,478 mm (~58 inches) in height, with a wheelbase of 2,825 mm (~111 inches).

Technology and Safety
The MG 07 utilises the Momenta R7 intelligent driving solution, supporting Navigate on Pilot (NOA) for both urban and highway environments. The vehicle offers parking assistance across nine different scenarios and provides 25 active safety functions.
Powertrain Options and Performance
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) models are built on an 800V platform and equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous front drive motor. Depending on the configuration, maximum power is either 176 kW (236 hp) or 235 kW (315 hp), with peak torque of 300 N·m or 350 N·m. Battery options include 67 kWh and 91 kWh packs, resulting in pure electric ranges of 610 km (~379 miles), 650 km (~404 miles), or 845 km (~525 miles).
The Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) version features a 1.5L engine with a maximum power of 82 kW (110 hp) and a drive motor providing 152 kW (204 hp). It offers a CLTC pure electric range of 245 km (~152 miles) and a power-depleted fuel consumption of 2.91L per 100 km. When fully charged and fueled, the MG 07 PHEV can achieve a combined CLTC range of up to 1,745 km (~1,084 miles).
