Exterior Design, Features & Colours
MG has drawn inspiration from the majestic Blue Whale, the largest living mammal on Earth, and its exterior features several whale-inspired cues. The MG Whale’s large hexagonal grille with vertical bars is reminiscent of the baleen plates of a blue whale.
The grille is flanked by LED headlights that are shaped like whale eyes, and there are also whale-inspired daytime running lights that are called “Baleen DRLs.” The MG Whale also has a coupe-like silhouette with a sloping roofline and a fastback rear end. This gives it a sporty look, and it also helps to improve aerodynamics.
