First generation (2007)

Production of the first-generation MG7 started in March 2007. The MG7 received praise from British car magazine Auto Express, who test drove it in May 2008, although it has not officially been sold in the United Kingdom. The MG7 came in two variants, the first which resembles the Mark I MG ZT, with twin front lights, and the second which resembles the Mark II Rover 75 V8. A long wheelbase version, called the MG7L, features the deeper radiator grille of the Rover 75 V8. It was offered in two trim levels: the 'Classic,' which featured a slatted grille, and the 'Sport,' which featured a mesh grille. Exterior styling closely resembled that of its predecessors, the MG ZT and Rover 75, with the most notable updates being newly designed LED rear light clusters and alloy wheels. Inside, the vehicle incorporated updated audio and heating systems, alongside a new sunroof design.

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 ins
