Saudi Arabia gets the Whale in one form, which suits a car that was never going to be a volume seller: 4,702 mm long, all-wheel drive as standard, and a 2.0-litre turbo producing 370 Nm.
Take one on a rough road before deciding. The all-wheel drive is the part of this car that justifies the premium.
What does an MG Whale cost in Saudi Arabia?
SAR 100,388 for the Comfort (Base), the sole specification imported. That places it near the top of the MG range and asks a clear premium over the brand's mainstream SUV, which is what buying the more interesting-looking car generally costs.
MG Whale or Haval H6?
The Whale is the more powerful car and the only one here with all-wheel drive fitted as standard, which is worth having on loose surfaces and in heavy rain. Its styling is the reason most buyers look at it in the first place. The Haval H6 is the more sensible family SUV — better resolved inside, cheaper to fuel and easier to sell later. The MG HS covers the same ground for less money from the same brand.
What does a Whale cost to run in Saudi Arabia?
Expect higher fuel and tyre bills than the size of the car suggests. All-wheel drive adds parasitic losses and the turbocharged engine rewards a light foot that this car does not encourage. Maintenance itself is conventional through the brand's authorised network, with no electrified components to complicate a repair or a resale.
Does the MG Whale hold its value in Saudi Arabia?
It holds about 68% after three years and about 53% after five, slightly ahead of the roughly 67% and 52% typical of Chinese brands sold here. That is a better result than distinctive styling usually delivers, since unusual designs normally shrink the pool of second-hand buyers. As it ages, paint and wheel condition matter more on this car than on a plain one, because its appearance is what a later buyer is paying for.
Is a used Whale worth looking at?
It is worth a look before you order new, particularly given how few were sold in any single specification — a used one is the same car you would be buying from the showroom. Have the all-wheel-drive system and the underbody checked properly on any example. Browse the used Whales listed now and compare them against the new price.
