MG Philippines proudly unveils the IM LS7 at this year’s Manila International Auto Show. The LS7 is a crossover SUV under the manufacturer’s premium electric vehicle (EV) badge, purported to offer pure electric luxury to motorists and passengers, promising perks of a modern and cutting-edge automobile. The car is set to be available later this year, with pre-orders already open at MIAS 2024.
“The LS7 will enter the Philippine market very soon and set a new benchmark in the segment, and we’re excited that we can talk about the manifestation of our ambition to embrace the new track of intelligent electrification,” said Felix Jiang, President of MG Philippines.
The LS7 boasts of a powerful electric motor, its electric battery pushing a maximum of 425kW of power and a peak torque of 725Nm, hitting 0 to 100 kph in only 4.5 seconds. The LS7 also performs reliably by reaching up to 530km on one full charge, making the most out of every ride. This maximum range can also be extended in one touch using the car’s unique Super-Eco Mode, relieving any anxiety about how far it can go.
IM also sourced best-in-class suppliers from around the world to design and build what it calls its all-star chassis. The LS7 has advanced air suspension from Continental, damping control from Bilstein, a front four-piston fixed caliper from Brembo, and sturdy high-performance EV tires straight from Michelin, to name a few.
Never meager with thoughtful design, the MG LS7’s crossover SUV measures 5.05 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and 1.731 meters in height, and has a 3.06m wheelbase. The LS7 leads class as a perfect all-rounder vehicle.
The car also comes with a Starfall front windshield that gives a stunning 106-degree vertical view. Its automatic power and frameless doors create a smooth and seamless look and feel, while its double-layer laminated glass windows greatly insulate the inside from external noise.
The LS7’s futuristic interior should mean an adjustable 42-inch triple screen, a set of Zero Gravity Seats that offer the ultimate comfort along with a relaxing 16-point massage function and ventilation capabilities. The LS7 comes with 24 speakers, including headrest and sky speakers, for a truly immersive three-dimensional sound experience.
The LS7 also breaks new ground in the industry with the first-ever pre-site deodorization and formaldehyde removal. The air inside the car is clean, and the air quality can be preserved for more than 180 days of use.
MG introduces their Evolvable Intelligent Driving Assistance System, which brings 11 HD cameras, three millimeter wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, two semi-solid vehicle-grade high beam LiDARs, and an NVIDIA Orin X chip. This powers its one-touch iAD system to helps drivers solve and navigate common urban road scenarios such as tight maneuvers and challenging parking. These features work in conjunction to greatly enhance the on-road operation of the LS7.
On the software side, the LS7 enhances safety with its novel Rainy Night Mode, an AI-powered driving assistant that continuously presents a real-time image of its A-pillar and rear-side blind zones on both sides of its triple display. It instantly identifies and highlights elements in traffic, such as pedestrians, bicycles, and other vehicles.
The LS7 is now available for pre-order at the MG booth at the SMX Convention Center leg of the Manila International Auto Show. MIAS will run from April 4 to 7, 2024. To know more about MG’s full slate of vehicles, visit mgmotor.com.ph
