MG has been busy in the Vietnamese market, and their latest offering, the MG7, is set to make its debut soon. The first units of this D-segment sedan were spotted at dealerships not long ago, and now, the official launch date has been announced: August 28, 2024.
While official details about the MG7 for the Vietnamese market are yet to be revealed, dealership sources suggest that the sedan will be offered in three variants, all of which will be well-equipped and feature a sporty and stylish design.
Under the hood, the MG7 is expected to offer two gasoline engine options, mirroring the options available in the Chinese market. The first is a 1.5L engine that produces 180 horsepower and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The second is a more powerful 2.0L turbocharged engine that generates 262 horsepower and is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Regardless of the engine option, the MG7 will feature four driving modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, and X-Mode. The 2.0L engine variant will also include an electronic limited-slip differential and electronically controlled suspension for an enhanced driving experience.
The MG7 will offer Vietnamese customers three variants and two engine options.
Beyond its performance credentials, the MG7 also boasts an impressive exterior design. Its fastback silhouette and complex body lines give it a sporty and stylish appearance. The MG7 is expected to feature full LED lighting, 19-inch alloy wheels, sporty brake calipers, and a quad exhaust system, with an active rear spoiler on higher-end variants.
The MG7’s active rear spoiler adds a dynamic touch to the vehicle’s design.
Step inside the MG7, and you’ll find a spacious interior thanks to its generous dimensions: 4,884 mm in length, 1,889 mm in width, and a wheelbase of 2,778 mm. The cabin is adorned with premium materials, including Dinamica suede or leather upholstery.
The MG7’s seats are upholstered in eye-catching red suede.
The rear seats offer ample space and comfort.
The MG7’s cockpit is packed with technology, featuring a sporty flat-bottom steering wheel, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch central touchscreen, an AR-HUD display, a Bose sound system with 14 speakers, and a panoramic sunroof.

In terms of safety, the MG7 is expected to be well-equipped, featuring a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, lane change assist, intelligent driving assistance with Navigation Guided Pilot, and remote parking control.
Pricing for the MG7 in Vietnam remains a mystery for now. However, according to dealership sources, the MG7 is expected to start at just over 700 million VND. With its competitive pricing and impressive features, the MG7 will go up against established rivals such as the Honda Accord, Mazda6, and Kia K5 in the D-segment sedan market.
The MG7 is the fourth new model that MG has introduced in Vietnam in less than a year, following the successful launches of the New MG5, RX5, and MG4 EV.
