MG Gloster

Exterior

First things first, a brief look at the brochure clearly indicates that the MG Gloster new model is the largest and tallest vehicle in its class. At the front, the satin-finished grille and the dual-barrel projector headlamps look great. The heavily sculpted bonnet along with a rugged bumper completes the SUV stance. On the side, the 19-inch wheels look nice, but they are dwarfed by the colossal size of the Gloster. Switch to the back, and while the slim LED taillamps and the rugged bumper give the rear end a nice stance, the GLOSTER badging on the tailgate looks a bit over the top.

Variants

The MG Gloster variants are as follows: Super, Smart, Sharp, and Savvy. As has become a norm with the maker’s vehicles, it gets a lot of equipment, especially in the top-spec trim, which, then, justifies its MG Gloster on-road price. The most important, of all, is the ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) features, like forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and hands-free parking. Besides that, it also gets a panoramic sunroof, a powered driver’s seat with heating, ventilation, massage and memory functions, a 12-speaker sound system, 360-degree parking cameras, a blind-spot monitoring system, and more.

Interior

The MG Gloster comes in two seating configurations – a seven-seat or a six-seat layout. The lower-spec Super trim is available in just a seven-seat layout, while the higher-spec Smart and Savvy trims are available in just a six-seat configuration. The mid-spec Sharp trim, on the other hand, is available in both layouts. You get captain seats in the middle row in the six-seat layout, while there’s a bench seat in the second row in the seven-seater model.
The interiors, on the other hand, have a nice aura to it. The materials are very nice and the space inside is quite good. The overall layout of the dashboard is quite nice too, although it does seem a bit inspired by the BMWs of late.

Engine Specifications & Performance

The MG Gloster comes powered by a sole 2.0-litre diesel engine, which comes mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. In the lower grade Super and Smart variants, the engine comes with a single turbocharger and produces 161bhp and 375Nm of torque. In the rest, however, there’s a twin-turbo version of the same engine, which now produces 215bhp and 480Nm of torque.
