Why did MG create the MG7 as a fuel-powered coupe? What sets it apart from other fuel cars?

Yu Jing Min, representive MG motors says, “When the MG7 debuted, it was the first fuel car equipped with the NGP advanced driving assistance system and an intelligent cockpit powered by Snapdragons’s 8155 chip. The 2025 edition builds on this with even more advanced smart technologies.”

“Moreover, Creating intelligent features for fuel-powered vehicles presents unique challenges.”

At the launch, Lu Jia Jun introduced the concepts of “Global” and “Gorgeous,” highlighting MG’s commitment to an enjoyable driving experience.

“Our focus remains on innovation and setting new benchmarks for mid-size sporty sedans.”

What are the standout features of the MG7 2025 Edition? Will MG introduce hybrid models?

Zhu Yong from MG says,  “Branded as the smartest fuel car under 200,000 yuan, the MG7 2025 Edition incorporates groundbreaking technologies..”

Summarizing them as:

 1. P2P Memory Parking: This advanced feature actively learns and memorizes parking routes. Once a route is driven, the system remembers it without requiring manual input. It can store up to 10 active and 100 passive routes.

 2. NGP System: This system ensures seamless navigation across the national highway network through high-definition maps and visual assistance.

 3. Human-Machine Harmony: The system enhances the driving experience by smoothly handing control back to the driver during complex scenarios.

Yu Jing Min further states, “While electric vehicles are the future, fuel cars still hold key advantages, including lightweight design, energy density, and durability. To remain relevant, they must address traditional shortcomings, particularly in smart technology. MG plans to introduce plug-in hybrid models soon—stay tuned!”

What are MG’s strategies for overseas markets?

Yu Jing Min states, “Consumers prioritize brand, model, and price over powertrain type. Our goal is to offer emotional and experiential value to users. The mid-size sedan market is highly competitive, with many once-prominent models fading away. While the MG7 currently sells around 2,000 units per month, we aim to significantly increase this number through continuous innovation.” 

What defines the MG7 2025 Edition as a “new benchmark”?

Lu Jia Jun’s response :

“The MG7 2025 Edition sets invisible quality benchmarks through:

 • Eco-Friendly Materials: Interior materials with ultra-low benzene emissions far surpass national standards.

 • High-Strength Steel: The body features 84% high-strength steel, ensuring durability and safety.

These standards reflect MG’s commitment to craftsmanship and quality.”

What challenges does MG face in achieving “equal intelligence” for fuel and electric vehicles?

Zhu Yong mentions them as, “Key challenges we face now include:

 1. Electronic Architecture: Fuel cars have lower integration, making cross-domain collaboration more difficult.

 2. Engine Limitations: Internal combustion engines lag behind electric motors in response speed and precision.

SAIC’s in-house development of engines, transmissions, and control systems is critical to overcoming these challenges.”
