In terms of appearance, the new MG7 uses the latest design language, and the vehicle design style is dynamic and radical, which is also the concrete embodiment of the MG brand's main attack on young consumers in recent years. Its flattened large-size forward air grille covers almost the entire front face, plus long, narrow and sharp headlight groups and a pressing bonnet on both sides, the front face of MG7 is very aggressive.

On the side of the body, the roof line of the MG7 extends from the end of the A-pillar to the rear, thus forming a slip-back shape. In addition, the waistline on the side of the new car is very clear, with rimless doors, five-spoke sports rims, and red calipers, this low-lying back design gives people the feel of a sports car. The rear part of the car, in addition to the popular through taillight shape, the lamp group uses a wave-shaped lamp belt, so that it shows more movement after lighting. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a three-stage active electric tail, which automatically starts when the speed is higher than the 100km/h. In addition, the MG7 also uses a four-out tail design, coupled with a large area spoiler at the bottom to further highlight the motion properties. In terms of size, MG7 length, width and height are 4884/1889/1447mm, wheelbase is 2778mm, positioning A + class sedan car.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car uses the popular dual-screen design, in which the LCD dashboard is 10.25in, the central control screen is 12.3in, the car system uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, HUD head-up display is not absent, the center console basically does not see any physical keys, coupled with the three-frame sports steering wheel, sports seat and electronic block handle, the overall driving control atmosphere is still relative movement. It is understood that in addition to blue and black interior color matching, MG7 will also provide a more sporty red and black interior.

In terms of power, the new car offers 1.5T and 2.0T power versions, of which 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 261Ps, with a peak torque of 405N ·m, matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission with an official acceleration time of 6.5s at 0100km / h. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 188Ps with a peak torque of 300N ·m, matched with a 7-block double-clutch gearbox with an official acceleration time of 8.9s from 0km / h to 100km / h.

Zhang Liang, CEO of SAIC, said: the three big pieces of MG7 are not afraid to compete with any joint venture brand. SAIC's self-developed 2.0+9AT is better than Audi A7 and BMW 330i, but slightly worse than Porsche Panamera, which we have all compared.

Mingjue is a century-old British car brand, the initials of Morris Garages, founded by British auto celebrity William Richard Morris in 1910. In July 2005, Nanjing Automobile Group Co., Ltd. acquired MG Rover Motor Co., Ltd. and its engine production division, and changed its name to Nanjing Mingjue Automobile Co., Ltd. In April 2007, Shanghai Automobile Group Co., Ltd. acquired Nanjing Automobile Group and became the new owner of the MG brand. After that, the MG brand successively put into production Mingjue 7-Series, Mingjue 6-Series, Mingjue 3-Series and other series of models, which are sold both domestically and internationally.

The Mingjue 7 Series is the first model to be put into production after SAIC's acquisition of NAC, which was officially launched in August 2007, with a price range of 17.16-302800 yuan. The predecessor of MG7 is the domestic Mingjue 7 Series 15 years ago, but its "resurrection" only inherits its name and does not inherit the old design language of many years ago.

In April 2021, SAIC launched the new LOGO, which is also composed of the letter "MG", but the updated Mingjue logo has changed from the original three-dimensional design style to two-dimensional graphic design. In August 2022, SAIC Mingjue's new pure black LOGO was officially launched, and the MG7 became the first model with a black standard. Considering the online configuration, MG7's competitions will aim at Changan UNI-V (10.89-139900 yuan), Geely Xingrui (11.37-145700 yuan), Chuanqi Shadow Leopard (9.83-148000 yuan) and other models. Judging from the configuration of the MG7, the size and power parameters are slightly higher than those of other popular cars, and if the online price is true, it may be more popular in the market.

Insurance figures show that in the first three quarters of 2022, Auto Mingjue sold a total of 76880 vehicles, down 34.01% from the same period last year, with the highest sales of the car Mingjue 5, down 14.06% from the same period last year to 50134, accounting for 65% of the total sales.
