MG 07 orders surge within 1 minute and 57 seconds of order opening

MG 07 secured over 10,000 firm orders in 1 minute and 57 seconds after China's order opening on August 20, 2026

MG 07 achieved over 10,000 firm orders within 1 minute and 57 seconds of order opening on August 20, 2026 at 7:00 pm Beijing Time. This surge followed 45,000 pre-orders on launch day, which rose to 59,000 by August 21. The vehicle’s rapid order flow—driven by expanded sales networks (nearly 500 outlets versus under 200 the prior year) and doubled sales staff—demonstrates scalable production capacity meeting high demand without immediate price spikes. Firm orders require stricter refund terms than pre-orders, indicating stronger purchase intent than initial forecasts. The top variant (845 km CLTC range) begins deliveries in October 2026, while 650-km range units start late August. MG’s ability to scale production for high-demand variants without price increases directly supports affordable EV access in China’s sedan segment, where it competes with BYD Seal 07 DM-i and Lynk & Co 07 EM-P. Supply chain execution and capacity constraints remain critical for meeting delivery timelines for long-range variants, particularly as order mix for 800+ km range models exceeded MG’s initial projections.
