Unveiling the MG Whale: Riyadh Motor Show's Highlight

The ongoing Riyadh Motor Show became a stage for the spotlight as the iconic British brand MG, now under the influence of China's SAIC Motor, unveiled two significant models - the globally premiered MG Whale and the regionally unveiled MG7 sedan. These launches signify MG's commitment to providing state-of-the-art vehicles tailored to the discerning tastes of customers in the Middle East and Saudi markets.

The MG Whale, having made its debut in the Chinese domestic market in 2022 as the Roewe Jing (Whale), is described by the company as a revolutionary coupe-SUV. It boasts bold aesthetics, featuring a distinctive whale-inspired grille, a rear end adorned with curvy hexagonal-shaped vertical lights, and a full-width LED light bar. With dimensions measuring 4,702 mm in length, 1,903 mm in width, and 1,690 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,765 mm, the Whale stands as a comparable option to the Kia Sorento.

Inside, the MG Whale offers a lavish experience with a dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic screen, multi-function steering, Nappa leather-clad seats, ambient lighting, a panoramic roof, and a clean, button-free design. The powertrain includes a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine generating 228hp and 370Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

In terms of safety, the MG Whale comes equipped with an array of features, including 6 airbags, ABS with EBD and BA, electronic stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, hill-start and hill-descent controls, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree surround camera.

Tom Lee, the Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, emphasized the significance of their presence at the Riyadh Motor Show, stating that the world premiere of the MG Whale and the regional debut of the MG7 mark momentous occasions for MG Motor. These launches underscore the strategic importance of the Middle East in MG's global vision and demonstrate the brand's dedication to delivering innovation and design excellence to customers in the region and beyond as they celebrate MG Motor's 100 years of rich history.
