MG Launches the Whale SUV Coupe in the Middle East
MG is broadening its extensive lineup of sedans and SUVs in the Middle East with the introduction of the brand-new MG Whale SUV Coupe in 2024. This sporty mid-size SUV is tailored to meet the travel needs of young buyers, ambitious professionals, and families living in urban settings who are constantly seeking to infuse their lives with a touch of adventure.
The MG Whale’s futuristic design and bold coupe-like silhouette encapsulate the youthful and forward-thinking spirit of the region’s urban dwellers. Whale-inspired elements such as its signature front grille and Baleen daytime running lamps convey the playfulness, intelligence, and elegance of the creature it’s named after. Other marine-themed features include Whale-fin door mirrors and a Whale-tail spoiler and gearshift.
Additional design elements like the two-tone glossy black roof, matte gold bumper accents, chrome dual exhaust pipes, and silver decoration enhance the SUV Coupe’s visual appeal. The vehicle also sports stylish alloy wheels with a large 19-inch diameter, asserting its stylistic superiority over its rivals.
The SUV Coupe boasts a well-designed, high-quality interior that ensures quiet, hassle-free, and comfortable commutes and long journeys. This is facilitated by features such as electric seat adjustments with memory seats, dual-zone air conditioning, and a power-operated panoramic sunroof.
Passengers will be entertained and stay connected thanks to top-notch technologies and features like a 9-speaker BOSE sound system, a 256-colour ambient lighting setup, and a seamlessly integrated dual 12.3-inch Curved Panoramic Screen.
A comprehensive array of safety features includes an HD 360° surround view system and a plethora of active and passive safety features and electronic aids to ensure a safe and comfortable journey. Furthermore, the MG Whale is constructed on a chassis with a high-strength structure rated for high levels of torsional stiffness, providing maximum protection and a dynamic advantage.
The sleek SUV Coupe is powered by a robust 2.0L turbocharged engine that generates 231 HP and 370 Nm of torque, paired with a reliable 8-speed automatic gearbox. The turbocharged engine provides the necessary torque to transport five passengers and their luggage swiftly and efficiently, while the low-displacement setup, aided by the modern 8-speed transmission, helps reduce fuel consumption.
The starting price for the MG Whale is USD 23,700 (excluding taxes) and prices for each market will be announced shortly. All-new MG Whale models will also benefit from the brand’s acclaimed six-year/200,000 km warranty.
