Overview
The 2025 MG 7 Essence is a five-seat petrol sedan with front-wheel drive and an automatic, making 170kW and 380Nm. It's priced from $44,990 RRP, which means before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty. Fuel use is listed at 8L/100km combined, the boot holds 375 litres with the seats up and 1,040 litres with the rear seats folded, and braked towing is 750kg. That towing figure is on the light side for anyone wanting to pull a decent-sized trailer or van, so keep that in mind. It suits someone after a roomy, punchy sedan for daily driving and family duties rather than serious towing.

Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file. Actual prices vary by brand, retailer and fitting.

P-plate vehicle rules, our reading
P-plate OK in NSW, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, ACT and NT. This reads the manufacturer's power and tare mass against each state's published rule.
- NSW: under the 130 kW per tonne line on tare mass. Transport for NSW P1 and P2 vehicle search
- QLD: under the 130 kW per tonne line on tare mass (cars made from 2010; applies to provisional drivers under 25). Queensland high-powered vehicle checker
- SA: under the 130 kW per tonne line on tare mass (cars made from 2010; applies to provisional drivers under 25). South Australia high powered vehicle check
WA, TAS, ACT and NT have no power-based P-plate restriction in the conditions they publish.
Your state's own list overrides this reading: check it before you buy.
P-plate rules current as of 6 November 2026. Each state's rule can change and has its own list. We read the rules from the regulators and re-check them; confirm with your state before you buy.
