What are the key features of MG 7?

The original MG 7 was a rebadged version of the old Rover 75. It was launched when the company was still known as MG Rover, shortly after it was acquired by China's Nanjing Automobile in 2005. Both Nanjing and MG were acquired by SAIC in 2007. The 2024 MG 7 midsized executive sedan wowed the audience at the 2023 Auto Shanghai. But its styling resembles more of a luxury sportback saloon. MG is positioning the car as its flagship sedan. The MG 7 is placed above the MG 5 and MG 6. The MG 7 advances the design language of the new MG4 all-electric hatchback. The car’s front-end seem to be inspired by the battery-electric Cupra Born and that’s evident from the lattice-like lower bumper and sharp nose. An oversized MG Octagon sits just above the grille, in front of the bonnet. The muscular sweeping lines on the side and the teardrop-style tail lends the MG 7 an aggressive look. The highlight of course is the two-piece retractable rear spoiler that not only improves the car’s aerodynamics at high speed, but also adds a distinctive design feature. The car gets all-round LED lighting. The rear-end is dominated by quad-exhausts and a light bar that connects the taillights. Overall, the 2024 MG 7 gets a bold look. The car runs on 19-inch alloy wheels.

The central console is classy and the physical switchgear are easy to use. There are convenient storage options inside the cabin.
