MG Motor's Grand Entrance
MG Motor takes center stage at Riyadh Motor Show to unveil two stellar models, the globally debuted MG Whale and the regionally revealed MG7. In a strategic move, MG Motor utilized this prominent platform to showcase its commitment to delivering cutting-edge vehicles tailored to the discerning tastes of Middle East and Saudi markets.
The MG Whale:
The MG Whale, a revolutionary SUV-coupe, commands attention with its daring design elements. The distinctive whale-inspired grille and oval-shaped vertical lights on the rear make a bold statement on the road. This petrol-powered marvel boasts a striking exterior coupled with a luxurious interior featuring dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic screens, Nappa-leather-clad seats, and a button-free design that elevates the driving experience.
Set to be available for sale from the end of December 2023, the MG Whale promises not just style but also top-notch performance and innovation. MG Motor has redefined the SUV-coupe segment, offering a vehicle that seamlessly blends style, performance, and cutting-edge technology.
The MG7:
With a sporty look, triangle-shaped headlights, and a continuous taillight unit, the MG7 is set to make a powerful statement on the roads in March 2024. The interior is equally impressive, featuring a 12.3-inch main screen, a 10.25-inch instrument panel, and a stylish three-spoke steering wheel. This region-first model is a testament to MG Motor's commitment to providing diverse options that harmoniously blend performance and aesthetics for its customers.
A Custom Touch: MG T60 and New Energy Mobility Models
MG Motor didn't stop at just the Whale and MG7; they also showcased a custom-made MG T60, adding a unique touch to their display at the Riyadh Motor Show. Additionally, the brand highlighted its New Energy mobility models, including the MG HS PHEV and the new MG ZS EV, showcasing a commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly driving solutions. The MG Motor stand featured other top-tier models such as the RX5, MG GT, and the recently introduced MG ONE, further solidifying MG's position in the market.
