MG has shown the MG 07, a new electric fastback sedan that sits near the top of its EV lineup. It’s not officially confirmed for Europe yet, but it clearly feels like a car that is being shaped with markets like Europe in mind, where electric sedans such as the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal already compete in a fairly tight segment. If you want a good reference point, you can check my detailed comparison BYD Seal vs Tesla Model 3.
In simple terms, the MG 07 is MG trying to move a step higher than its usual value-focused EVs and into something that feels more design-led and more tech-focused. But it feels like MG experimenting with design and positioning, rather than just pushing range and affordability.
Design and first impressions
The MG 07 is one of those cars where the design does most of the talking. It’s a low, smooth fastback sedan, and at first glance it immediately brings to mind the Porsche Taycan.
That comparison is not subtle either. The proportions, the roofline and the rear stance all feel very close to that kind of performance EV sedan shape. In fact, the resemblance is strong enough that early coverage often describes it as clearly Taycan-inspired, especially in side profile.
The result is MG’s most premium-looking sedan so far, and a step up from entry models like the MG4 Urban, which I’ve also included in my top 3 best buy EVs in 2026.
Under the skin
The MG 07 is built on SAIC’s Nebula platform, also known as the Modular Scalable Platform. It’s designed to support multiple vehicle types, but in this case it’s clearly being used for a more premium electric sedan application.
One of the most interesting details is the expected 800V electrical architecture. If this carries over into the production version for Europe, it would put the MG 07 in line with newer-generation EVs that prioritise faster DC charging and better efficiency at higher speeds. At the moment, MG has not confirmed final European specifications, so battery capacity, WLTP range and charging times are still unknown.
For context, MG already has other efficiency-focused models in development such as the MG IM5, which targets long-range capability and is part of the growing group of EVs with more than 600 km range in Europe.
Will it come to Europe?
MG has not confirmed European availability yet, but it would not be surprising to see it eventually enter the market.
The electric sedan segment is still active in Europe, even if SUVs dominate overall sales. Cars like the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal continue to show there is still demand for this body style, especially among efficiency-focused buyers. If MG does bring the 07 to Europe, it would be entering a competitive but still very relevant segment.
The 07 is a clear sign that MG is slowly moving beyond purely value-focused electric cars. It still hasn’t fully positioned itself in the premium segment, but the design, technology and overall direction suggest a more ambitious product strategy than before.
