MG is another Chinese brand keeping the wagon alive

Wagons may be an increasingly endangered automotive species, but MG will keep the flame burning a little longer with a wagon variant of its upcoming 07 electric sedan.

These patent images come from the company’s filing with China’s National Intellectual Property Administration, which were posted on social media site Weibo by SugarDesign.

The 07 wagon has a longer, flatter roofline, which not only results in more cargo-carrying capacity, but means there should be more headroom for rear seat passengers too.

There’s a more upright tailgate featuring a windscreen with a tiny wiper, all of which is underscored by a thin full-width LED tail-light strip. Compared to the sedan, the wagon’s rear bumper has a bit more scalloping and detail.

From the B-pillar forward the wagon and sedan have identical body panels. Both models seem to be heavily inspired by the Porsche Taycan, although not quite as overtly as another vehicle from SAIC Motor, the SAIC Z7.
