MG Motor continues expanding its comprehensive lineup of sedans and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) across the Middle East, launching the all-new MG WHALE Coupe SUV in regional markets in 2024. Designed for urban-dwelling young professionals, ambitious individuals, and families seeking a touch of adventure within city life, this mid-sized SUV blends practicality with a bold, forward-thinking spirit.
The MG WHALE embodies a futuristic design language and coupe-like silhouette that captures the youthful energy and progressive mindset of modern city dwellers. Inspired by the humpback whale, distinctive features such as the exclusive front grille and daytime running lights shaped like whale flippers reflect the vehicle’s vitality, intelligence, and elegance. Additional oceanic touches include door mirrors inspired by whale fins, a rear wing, and a gearshift knob modeled after a whale’s tail.
Other styling enhancements—such as a two-tone black gloss roof, matte gold bumper accents, dual chrome exhaust tips, and bronze trim—add visual impact to this sleek coupe SUV. The vehicle rides on elegant 19-inch alloy wheels, underscoring its superior design presence compared to competitors.
Inside, the cabin delivers a refined and luxurious experience, ensuring comfort, quietude, and smoothness during daily commutes and long drives. Features include electrically adjustable seats with memory settings, dual-zone climate control, and a power-operated panoramic sunroof.
Passengers enjoy premium entertainment and connectivity through advanced technologies: a 9-speaker Bose audio system, a mood lighting feature with 256 customizable colors, and a seamlessly integrated dual curved 12.3-inch display.
The comprehensive safety suite includes a high-definition 360-degree surround-view system, along with active and passive safety features and electronic driver aids designed to ensure a worry-free and comfortable journey. Built on a rigid, high-strength chassis engineered for exceptional torsional rigidity, the MG WHALE offers maximum protection and dynamic performance.
The all-new MG WHALE is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivering 231 horsepower and 370 Newton-meters of torque, paired with a reliable eight-speed automatic transmission. The turbocharged engine provides ample torque to smoothly carry five passengers and their luggage, while the efficient eight-speed gearbox contributes to reduced fuel consumption.
Tom Li, Managing Director of MG Motor in the Middle East and North Africa, commented: "Our mission at MG remains focused on delivering high-value SUVs with innovation at the core. The new MG WHALE is crafted for forward-thinking individuals who value self-expression. Its emotional design language draws inspiration from the humpback whale, capturing energy and beauty in every line. It also offers an exceptional range of comfort features in a competitively priced package tailored to meet the evolving needs of customers across the region."
The MG WHALE starts at $23,700 USD (excluding taxes). Final pricing details will be announced soon for all markets. All new MG WHALE models come with the brand’s renowned six-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty.
