The futuristic design and the daring coupe-like silhouette of the MG Whale embody the youthful

Whale-inspired details like its signature front grille and Baleen daytime running lamps help convey the playfulness, intelligence, and grace of its namesake. Other marine-related cues include Whalefin door mirrors and a Whale-tail spoiler and gearshift.
Additionally, traits like the two-tone glossy black roof, matte gold bumper accents, chrome dual
exhaust pipes, and silver decoration add to the visual appeal of the SUV Coupe. The car also rides
on stylish alloy wheels which have a large 19-inch diameter indicating its stylistic dominance over
its competitors. The SUV Coupe offers a well-laid-out, premium quality cabin that will ensure daily commutes and long journeys are quiet, hassle-free, and comfortable thanks to features like electric seat adjustments with memory seats, dual-zone air conditioning, and a power-operated panoramic sunroof.
