2.5 L N V6The MG 7 is a sports saloon built by Nanjing Automobile. Production started in early 2007. [cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6497959.stm |title=Chinese plant rolls out first MG |work=BBC News |date=27 March 2007 |accessdate=2007-03-27] The MG7 has received praise from the British press who test drove it in May.Fact|date=September 2007

The MG7 comes in two styles, the first which looks like the Mark I MG ZT with twin front lights and the second which looks like the Mark II Rover 75 V8. It is available in two wheelbases and it is thought that the longer wheelbase will feature the V8 grille.Fact|date=May 2008

The 7 comes in two trim levels: 'Classic' which features a slatted grille and 'Sport' which has a mesh grille. The look of the 7 has changed very little from the ZT and 75Fact|date=May 2008; the only noticeable difference is freshly-designed LED rear light clusters and new alloy wheels. Also the car features new audio and heating systems as well as a new sunroof system. There are two engine options, the 1.8T and the 2.5 V6, both revised Rover K-Series engines called the N-Series with stronger head gaskets, both meeting strict Euro IV emissions regulations. Changes to the electrical system have been made to improve the engine's ignition system and also to support the wider range of equipment, which includes front headrest-mounted DVD players for rear passengers and a reversing camera.

One of the greatest improvements is the replacement of some features which were snatched away under Rover's 'Project Drive'. These include bonnet insulation, driver's-side grab handles and the noise, vibration, harshness package which reduces road, engine and wind noise in the cabin dramatically. All models now receive ITS head air bags.
