Roewe M7

The Roewe M7 is upgraded version of the D7. Less than two years after the D7 premiere, a heavily modified, larger, and more expensive version debuted under the name M7. It was also the first production car designed under the supervision of former Volkswagen Group designer Jozef Kabań, with a characteristic, massive front fascia decorated with narrow, soaring headlights and a large, chrome radiator grille with a large "ROEWE" lettering instead of the traditional logotype. Visual changes compared to the D7 also covered the rear, where the license plate was moved to the bumper and the lamps were connected by a light strip. The M7 passenger compartment also borrows the existing design from the D7, adding a larger 15.6-inch central touchscreen that extends beyond the cockpit. A larger 10.25-inch digital instrument panel sits in front of the driver, and the center tunnel has a redesigned layout.
