MG 7 Sedan Exterior Design

Undoubtedly, the MG 7 has an attention-grabbing design, combining the heritage of innovation with future-ready design trends and an elegant stance on every corner of the vehicle. The fastback styling, large 19-inch premium alloy wheels, distinct quad exhaust tips, and an active rear spoiler enhance its overall look.

Its steeply sloped hood and bold bodylines add to its sporty character. The sedan features sharp headlights for a more premium appeal and an LED unit with T-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs) to complement MG’s design language. On the rear profile, it features massive exhaust cans and attractive yet sleek LED taillights.

This premium sedan from MG has a wider and lower profile. However, it is shorter in length than the Honda Accord. The all-new MG 7 measures 4884 mm in length, 1889 mm in width, and 1447 mm in height. This sports sedan from a major Chinese automaker has a wheelbase of 2,830 mm.

Overall, the MG 7 combines striking exterior styling, a frameless door, adaptive electric tail wings, and a unique, captivating front and rear lighting system, which are more than enough to catch the eye when the sedan drives on the roads of the UAE.

MG Motor has offered five color options for the MG 7 sedan: Jet Black, Emerald Green, Rime Grey, Bordeaux Red, and Glaze White. All five color options are available in all four trims of the MG 7.

MG 7 Interior Specifications

Due to its comparatively wider profile, it offers spacious and comfortable cabin space for the passengers. Whether sitting in the driver's seat or enjoying a long ride in the rear passenger seat, the MG 7’s intelligent cabin reflects a symphony of elegance and sophistication. It comes with bucket leather seats for a premium and sporty feel and a panoramic sunroof that lets fresh air into the cabin, taking the ride experience to the next level. The automaker has offered a comparable boot space of 450 liters.

The MG 7 sedan is equipped with cutting-edge technology features, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complete control access at arm's reach, an advanced high-fidelity Bose sound system, a 10.1-inch driver display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, and two wireless charging slots.

The vehicle features dual-zone climate control, LED ambient lighting, and leather upholstery with powered front seats. The steering wheel is also wrapped and tuned to match the interior theme, and it features a Super Sport button for sports mode driving. With a range of tech features, premium seating, and a racing atmosphere, the MG sedan looks premium and suitable for urban drive requirements.

However, seating for three adult passengers can be challenging due to its sloping rear profile. While the infotainment screen offers better visibility and a responsive touch experience, the thick bezels slightly detract from its premium appeal. The interior has three color options, including Black (Peacock Green), Peacock Green, and Bordeaux Red.
