MG Motor is making waves in the Middle East with the launch of its latest –the all-new MG Whale SUV Coupe. MG is expanding its line-up in the Middle East with this new SUV offering.
Design: Inspired by the Mighty Whale
MG’s new SUV Coupe draws inspiration from the majestic whale. It sports a futuristic design with a coupe-like silhouette. The signature front grille and Baleen daytime running lamps add a playful touch. Marine-themed details like Whale-fin door mirrors and a Whale-tail spoiler give it a distinctive look. The SUV Coupe also gets a two-tone glossy black roof, matte gold bumper accents, chrome dual exhaust pipes, and silver accents. Topping it off are 19-inch alloy wheels which give the car a dominating presence.
Inside the MG Whale
Inside the Whale one will find a premium-quality cabin design. Electric seat adjustments with memory seats, dual-zone air conditioning, and a power-operated panoramic sunroof. Entertainment and connectivity take center stage with features like the 9-speaker Bose sound system, 256-color ambient lighting setup, and a seamlessly integrated dual 12.3-inch Curved Panoramic Screen.
Power
Beneath the hood of the MG Whale is a 2.0L turbocharged engine, packing 231 HP and 370 Nm torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
The starting price for the MG Whale is set at USD 23,700 (excluding taxes), and market-specific prices will be revealed soon. All-new MG Whale models will be backed by the brand’s renowned six-year/200,000 km warranty.
Sadly, the car is not making its way to India. If it did, it would go up against the Tata Harrier and the Mahindra XUV 700. MG has 13 cars in the Middle East including the newly launched Whale. The common cars in India and the Middle East are the ZS EV and the Astor which is sold as the MG ZST. The MG Hector is also sold as the Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE.
