MG first showcased the Gloster in Auto Expo 2020 in India and the crowd was surely impressed. The car’s size is mammoth and looks grand and demands road-presence.  It has been spied testing for quite some time now in India. It was set to launch this festive season, but the Covid-19 pandemic may have forced MG to delay. As a result, the Gloster will launch only after the Hector Plus hits the streets.

The car looks huge compared to the competition. It looks and is bigger than Toyota Fortuner and Endeavour. The front of the car gets a massive grille, DRLs, angular fog lamps. The Indian version will get the diamond-cut 19-inch alloy wheels. Chrome accents have been used throughout the car and add to its road presence.  It also gets the industry-standard panoramic sunroof. The rear of the car is as bulky as the front. It will be seven-seater with three rows and a notch above the Fortuner.

Engine and Performance

 With the Gloster, MG may likely make the debut of SAIC’s 2.0-litre bi-turbo four-cylinder BS6 diesel engine. Paired with an 8-speed conventional torque converter, this engine has the capacity to belt out a maximum power output of 218 PS and a peak torque output of 480 Nm. Considering the segment, MG will likely sell the Gloster with a four-wheel-drive system as standard. A petrol engine will also be provided, but specs about it have yet not been confirmed.
