As soon as the price of the MG 07 came out, market buzz went through the roof. Limited-time pricing from 105,900 to 156,900 yuan, a direct drop of 20,000 from the presale price—over 10,000 firm orders in 1 minute and 57 seconds. This data shows that consumers’ recognition of this car is genuinely high.

But the problem comes right along with it: 5 pure electric models plus 2 plug-in hybrids, 7 configurations in total, lined up all the way from 105,900 to 156,900. Which one should you actually choose?

I went through these 7 cars from start to finish and found there’s no need to agonize at all—you only need to answer 3 questions, and the answer emerges on its own.

Question one: Do you have a home charging station?

This question directly sets your direction—pure electric or plug-in hybrid.

If you have a home charger, or your community can install one → go straight to the pure electric version.

The daily cost of home charging is just too low. Plug in the charging gun when you get home at night, and the next morning you set off fully charged. Per kilometer, it works out to just a few cents. Over a whole year, the fuel money saved is enough for two or three basic maintenance services. The pure electric version starts at 650 km of range, which is completely enough for daily commuting plus weekend trips nearby.

Specifically, the pure electric 650 Comfort Edition is limited-time 113,900 yuan. With 650 km of range, charging once a week is more than enough. The 176 kW motor has no trouble with daily driving, overtaking, and lane changes. 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds—press the pedal on a city expressway and you can feel that push into the seat. The mCDC electromagnetic suspension is standard across the whole lineup, and when going over speed bumps or rough roads, the chassis feel is far more solid than ordinary suspension.

Add 10,000 more, and the pure electric 610 LiDAR Edition is limited-time 123,900 yuan, adding LiDAR and urban navigation-assisted driving. When driving on highways or ring roads, the vehicle can assist with following, lane changes, and entering or exiting ramps—of course, your hands cannot leave the steering wheel, but on long trips it really makes things much easier, so you don’t have to stay tense the whole time.

No home charger, but you want a taste of the benefits of new energy → look at the plug-in hybrid version.

The biggest advantage of the plug-in hybrid version is flexibility. Use pure electric for city commuting, and switch between fuel and electric for long trips, with no need to worry at all about finding a charging station.

The plug-in hybrid 245 Comfort Edition is limited-time 105,900 yuan. Its 245 km of pure electric range is more than enough to cover a week of commuting. For long weekend trips or going back to your hometown, the combined fuel-electric range is 1,745 km—even from Chengdu to Lhasa you don’t have to worry about recharging. Fuel consumption under low battery is only 3.98 liters. Even if you never charge it and drive it as a fuel car, it still saves far more than a same-class fuel vehicle. And the mCDC electromagnetic suspension, frameless doors, and front-seat ventilation, heating, and massage are all standard—buying a mid-size liftback coupe for 105,900 yuan with this density of equipment was something you wouldn’t even dare imagine two years ago.

Add 10,000 more, and the plug-in hybrid 245 LiDAR Edition is limited-time 115,900 yuan, adding LiDAR and urban navigation assistance. At 115,900 yuan, getting urban assisted-driving capability on a mid-size plug-in hybrid coupe is genuinely strong value.

Plug-in hybrid 245 LiDAR Edition

Question two: Do you want LiDAR and urban navigation?

This question helps you further narrow down the version. The price difference is exactly 10,000 yuan.

If yes → choose the LiDAR Edition.

The MG 07 LiDAR Edition is equipped with the new Xinxin Hangtu X7 chip paired with the Momenta R7 assisted-driving solution, featuring urban navigation capability. In daily city driving, the vehicle can assist you with lane changes, traffic lights, and entering or exiting ramps. On highways it’s even more useful: turn on adaptive cruise plus lane centering, and after two or three hours of long-distance driving, fatigue is noticeably reduced.

LiDAR also provides more reliable perception at night and in severe weather. 11 cameras plus 1 4D millimeter-wave radar plus 1 LiDAR—the hardware is very solidly supplied. And the 21-speaker 7.1.4 sky-channel audio is also only offered on these two versions, so audio enthusiasts can lock it in directly.

If no → the Comfort Edition is enough.

The Comfort Edition is equipped with the Horizon J6B chip, and basic L2 assisted driving (cruise control, adaptive cruise, full-speed adaptive cruise) is completely sufficient for daily use. The 10,000 yuan saved can go toward installing a home charger, or be kept for several years of electricity bills. Either way, it’s not a loss.

Question three: Do you often drive long distances?

This question only applies within the pure electric versions—the gap between 650 km and 845 km of range is not a small number.

If you often drive long distances, or have range anxiety → choose the 845 km version.

The pure electric 845 LiDAR Edition is limited-time 146,900 yuan. It is equipped with a 91 kWh ternary lithium battery (CATL), supports an 800V high-voltage platform and 5C fast charging—charging from 30% to 80% in just 12 minutes, basically the time it takes to use the restroom and buy a coffee at a service area, with no need to wait around at the charging station. With 845 km CLTC range, even after discounting, actually running more than 700 km is no problem, and interprovincial travel basically bids farewell to range anxiety.

Moreover, the 845 version’s motor power is also greater: 235 kW/350 N·m, with 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, a full 1 second faster than the 650/610 versions. When overtaking and changing lanes on the highway, the push into the seat from flooring the accelerator is on a completely different level. The 800V platform has another benefit: when using public fast-charging stations, charging speed is much faster than ordinary 400V platforms, so you don’t have to wait in line.

If you mainly drive in the city or nearby → the 650 or 610 versions are completely enough.

The pure electric 650 Comfort Edition is limited-time 113,900 yuan. It is equipped with a 67 kWh lithium manganese iron phosphate semi-solid-state battery (SAIC Qingtao), a 400V platform, and 3C fast charging, going from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes. It is more than enough for daily use. The 176 kW motor power is also sufficient, with 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, and overtaking on city expressways is effortless.

If your budget is moderate and you want assisted driving, the pure electric 610 LiDAR Edition at a limited-time 123,900 yuan is a relatively balanced choice.

Is the Flagship Edition worth stepping up to?

The Flagship Edition costs 10,000 yuan more than the LiDAR Edition with the same range, mainly due to comfort features. The pure electric 610 Flagship Edition is limited-time 133,900 yuan, adding a zero-gravity passenger seat, and rear passengers also get privacy glass. The pure electric 845 Flagship Edition is limited-time 156,900 yuan. In addition to the zero-gravity seat, it also has an EC dimmable panoramic roof—when sitting inside during the scorching summer sun, the area overhead no longer feels like it’s burning. If you often carry family members or have requirements for ride quality, this 10,000 yuan is worth spending.

After answering 3 questions, your car is chosen

These 7 MG 07 models, put plainly, are just 3 multiple-choice questions:

Do you have a home charger → if yes, pure electric; if no, plug-in hybrid.

Do you want LiDAR and urban navigation → if yes, add 10,000 and go for the LiDAR Edition; if no, choose the Comfort Edition.

Do you often drive long distances → if often, choose 845; if not often, choose 650 or 610.

Specific recommendations:

If your budget is limited, choose the plug-in hybrid 245 Comfort Edition at a limited-time 105,900 yuan. For just over 100,000, you get a mid-size liftback coupe, with electromagnetic suspension, frameless doors, and seat ventilation, heating, and massage all standard. At this price point, it is very competitive.

If your budget is just over 110,000, choose the pure electric 650 Comfort Edition at a limited-time 113,900 yuan. Its 650 km range is more than enough for daily commuting.

If your budget is just over 120,000 and you want assisted driving, choose the pure electric 610 LiDAR Edition at a limited-time 123,900 yuan. Urban navigation, 21 speakers, and 7.1.4 sky-channel audio are all included.

If your budget stretches to the 150,000 level, choose the pure electric 845 Flagship Edition at a limited-time 156,900 yuan. 800V + 5C + 845 km + 5.9 seconds, a fully loaded experience in one step.

Final thoughts

The product thinking behind the MG 07 this time is very clear: use the plug-in hybrid version to hold the 100,000-level price floor, and use the pure electric version to push up to a fully loaded 150,000-level experience. The 7 cars cover the complete demand range from “just enough” to “fully maxed out.”

A launch price 20,000 lower than the presale price, plus a market reaction of over 10,000 firm orders in 1 minute and 57 seconds—if you want to lock in the limited-time price, now is the time to act.
