Wearing black trim and black MG badges, the Black Label refers to a line of new high-end vehicles with added luxury and sportiness compared to the regular MG lineup. Measuring 4,884 mm long, 1,889 mm wide and 1,447 mm tall with a 2,778 mm wheelbase, the new MG7 adopts a low-slung fastback silhouette, depicting a muscular body with strong dynamic lines and pronounced rear shoulders.
At the front, the LED headlights are slimmer and more aggressive than anything we have seen from the brand to date, flanked by large grille and side intakes. The rear end has full-width LED lights, an integrated duck-tail spoiler with active aerodynamics. The MG7 features interesting design elements such as frame-less doors, star-shaped matte gray rims with red brake calipers, racy lips and quad exhausts.
