The smaller sibling of the Maxus 9 (which was launched in Malaysia as the MIFA 9 last November) will be available as an X variant in the Kingdom. As is the case with the Maxus 9, this is very much a Maxus product, with the MG prefix being there because the MPV is sold by MG Thailand,

Like the Maxus 9, the Maxus 7 is equipped with a ternary lithium-ion battery with an energy capacity of 90 kWh, There’s no mention of range or, for that matter, charging rates on MG Thailand’s website, but the specs should be identical to the larger MPV, which has a range of 540 km following the NEDC standard.
As for the battery, it can be fully charged in 8.5 hours with an AC input at a max of 11 kW, or about 36 minutes from a 30 to 80% state of charge with a DC fast charger capable of putting out 120 kW.
