-

MG Motor India unveiled the Gloster SUV at the Auto Expo 2020, with prices expected to be between 40 lakh (ex-showroom) and Rs 50 lakh (ex-showroom), meaning the luxury SUV will be expensive than Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour and Mahindra Alturas G4. The upcoming MG Gloster is expected to be powered by a turbo-diesel engine that will churn out 218bhp and 480Nm of peak torque, mated to a 8-speed automatic transmissi­on.

The Gloster looks quite impressive from the outside. It is a 7-seater based on the Maxus D90 SUV sold internatio­naly. At 5,005mm, the SUV is longer than Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and

Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Gloster has a wheelbase of 2,950mm, which is longer than the Land Cruiser Prado and the Grand Cherokee. The Gloster is 1,932mm wide and 1,875mm high.

The upcoming MG Gloster gets a bold front fascia with chrome triple slat grille which is symbolic to the

MG cars, automatic projector headlights with LED DRLs and LED taillights. Other exterior features include roof rails, panoramic sunroof and set of 21-inch alloy wheels. The MG Gloster will have a massive cabin with features like touchscree­n infotainme­nt system, multifunct­ion steering wheel, tilt/telescopic steering, electric tailgate, automatic AC and ventilated seats. In India, the luxury SUV will be made available in a couple of seating configurat­ions -6 (2+2+2) and 7 (2+3+2). Expect MG to make launch announceme­nts soon.

The SUV is rather humungous in size and offers very good road presence. We hope to see a rather inviting price tag for the Gloster
