2026 MG 07: Semi-Solid-State Battery EV Sedan From $18,595

The MG 07 is the all-electric successor to the petrol MG7, and it's making a genuinely strong first impression: pre-sales opened on July 29, 2026 and pulled in 21,000 reservations in the first 20 hours — double what the MG4 Urban managed at launch. The fastback sedan pairs Porsche Taycan-inspired styling with a five-trim lineup spanning a semi-solid-state 67 kWh battery (up to 650 km CLTC) on entry trims to a larger 91 kWh CATL pack good for 845 km CLTC on the flagship. Pricing starts at just $18,595, with deliveries beginning in August 2026 for entry trims and October 2026 for the 800V flagship versions.

Performance & Specs

Entry-level 650/610 trims run a single front-axle motor making 176 kW (236 hp) and 300 Nm of torque — both figures confirmed directly on-screen in this article's source video, matching official Chinese press coverage exactly — for a 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time on a 400V architecture. Step up to the 845-range trims and output climbs to 235 kW (315 hp) and 350 Nm, cutting the sprint to 5.9 seconds, riding on an 800V architecture with 5C-capable fast charging and an active suspension system. Ground clearance is a claimed 160 mm across the lineup, and every trim supports V2L (vehicle-to-load) discharge at up to 6.6 kW — enough to run real appliances off the car's battery, a genuinely useful feature confirmed directly by the reviewer in this article's source video. The entry/mid battery is a 67 kWh "liquid-solid" (semi-solid-state) pack supplied by SAIC subsidiary Qingtao — a genuinely notable technology to see at this price point — while the range-topping trims switch to a conventional but larger 91 kWh CATL ternary NMC pack.

Dimensions & Practicality

Length	4,886 mm
Width	1,900 mm
Height	~1,478-1,485 mm
Wheelbase	2,825 mm

At 4,886 mm long on a 2,825 mm wheelbase, the MG 07 is a genuinely large fastback sedan — longer than most C-segment rivals. The trunk holds a claimed 697 litres, expanding to 1,708 litres with the rear seats folded, backed by a 168-litre front trunk — a genuinely practical combination for a car this size. The base trim rides on 18-inch wheels; every other trim steps up to 19-inch wheels with 235/45R19 tires.

Design & Interior

The MG 07's silhouette leans hard into a Porsche Taycan-adjacent fastback profile, with frameless doors and a five-stage electrically adjustable rear spoiler. The demo unit in this article's source video wore a striking purple/violet finish with black-painted alloy wheels and yellow brake calipers. Inside, the cabin pairs a 15.6-inch 2.5K central display (running on a Snapdragon 8295P chip) with 34 storage compartments, heated and ventilated seats, and a front passenger seat with a power leg rest and reclining "zero-gravity" mode — features usually reserved for cars costing considerably more.

Technology & Features

Cabin footage showed the central touchscreen running a 3D avatar interaction feature alongside standard navigation, and a separate ADAS visualization screen rendering the car's position among surrounding traffic during highway driving — consistent with the LiDAR-equipped trims' Momenta R7 world-model autonomous driving stack (running on an X7 chip) for navigate-on-autopilot and autonomous parking. Higher trims offer up to a 21-speaker, 7.1.4-channel audio system.

Pricing & Availability

Pre-sales opened in China on July 29, 2026 at 125,900 to 165,900 CNY (about $18,595-$24,500) across five trims, with 21,000 reservations logged in the first 20 hours — roughly double the launch-day figure for the MG4 Urban. The official launch presentation with finalized pricing and specs is scheduled for August 28, 2026; everything before that date is technically pre-order pricing, though it has closely matched what's shown in showroom demo units so far. Deliveries begin in August 2026 for the entry-level 400V trims, with the 800V flagship 845-range trims following in October 2026. As of this writing, no international launch has been confirmed; this article's source video was filmed by an export-focused reseller channel offering LHD sourcing, not an official MG international sales channel.

How It Compares

Against the XPeng Mona M03, the MG 07 costs about $1,800 more but adds a genuine semi-solid-state battery and a larger, more practical fastback body. The Nissan N7 undercuts the 07 on power-per-dollar slightly but lacks the MG's flagship 845 km/800V option entirely. At this price bracket, few rivals anywhere offer semi-solid-state battery tech, LiDAR-based autonomous driving, and a Taycan-esque fastback silhouette together — which likely explains the record-setting reservation numbers.
