MG has released a teaser image of a new pure-electric sedan, marking an early disclosure of a battery-electric model positioned within the brand’s sedan lineup and indicating potential expansion of MG’s electric passenger-car portfolio, as reported by IT-home.

The teaser shows a sedan with a coupe-style silhouette, a roof-mounted lidar sensor, and semi-hidden door handles. MG has not disclosed the vehicle’s name, technical specifications, driving range, launch timing, or pricing. The company has not confirmed whether the model will enter production or its relationship to existing MG products.

The exterior of the new sedan appears similar to that of the MG7, which is currently sold as a gasoline-powered mid-size sedan. Chinese media have also described the vehicle’s profile as resembling that of the Saic Z7, another sedan developed within the SAIC group, which features a coupe-style body and roof-mounted lidar hardware. SAIC MG has not provided official confirmation of design lineage or platform sharing between these models.

The current MG7 is offered in China with an official guide price range of 137,900 to 178,900 yuan (19,740 to 25,620 USD). A temporary subsidized price range has been listed at 116,900 to 154,900 yuan (16,720 to 22,160 USD). These prices refer only to the gasoline-powered MG7 and do not indicate pricing for the newly teased electric sedan.

The MG7 gasoline model is equipped with two powertrain options. The 1.5T engine delivers 188 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque and is paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0T engine delivers a maximum output of 261 horsepower (192 kW) and 405 Nm of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. These specifications serve as reference data for the existing model and are not confirmed for the new electric sedan.

Beyond the teaser image, MG has not released any further information on the vehicle’s platform, battery configuration, motor output, driver-assistance system specifications, or positioning within the brand’s product hierarchy. The lidar unit indicates the integration of advanced driver-assistance hardware, but its functional capabilities have not been detailed.

The teaser is the first public indication of a new MG pure-electric sedan, while technical specifications, naming, and market launch details remain undisclosed.
