Roewe D7

The Roewe D7 is a battery electric and plug-in hybrid mid-size sedan produced by SAIC Motor under the Roewe brand.

Overview

In August 2023, Roewe launched the D7, debuted in two drive variants the EV and PHEV, differing in the styling of the front fascia.[2]

The electric variant also gained distinctive visual features: double-row headlights and a pointed bumper, resembling the styling language of NIO.[3]

Both variants use the same minimalist design of the passenger cabin with the white materials and two 12.3-inch screens forming digital clocks and a multimedia system. Adaptive cruise control, a panoramic glass roof and single-zone air conditioning are also standard. Under the hood, the electric variant gained a small frunk.[4]

Powertrain

EV

The 510 km range EV version of the D7 develops 197 PS, powered by the battery supplied by CLTC. The 610 km range version delivers the power of 211 PS.[5]

DMH

The PHEV variant received an additional "DMH" part in its name and a different front fascia design. It use integrated, single and larger headlight lenses with a teardrop, soaring shape. The combustion engine is combined with two electric motors, offering 125 kilometers of range in electric mode and up to 1,400 kilometers of range in mixed mode. The 1.5-liter petrol engine delivers 112 PS and the motor in the rear axle delivers the power of 204 PS for a combined output of 315 PS with a 21.4 kWh LFP battery.[6] Since 2024, the motor was changed to a 186 PS unit for a combined power output of 297 PS and a 19.7 kWh battery.

The D7 was launched in the Middle East countries as the MG8 PHEV on September 8, 2025.[7] The model is offered in two trim levels: STD and COM, both powered by a 1.5-liter plug-in hybrid engine delivering 201 hp and 330 Nm torque.[8]

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.[9]

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.

Powertrain

The M7 is equipped with SAIC's next-generation DMH plug-in hybrid petrol-electric powertrain. It features a 1.5-liter, 110-horsepower petrol engine and a 184-horsepower electric motor. Thanks to a 19.7-kWh battery, the car offers an all-electric range of up to 160 kilometers, and a combined range of up to 2,050 kilometers.
