2020 MG Gloster Launched: Premium Luxury SUV Aims Big!

2020 MG Gloster has been launched in India.

MG’s new flagship SUV is set to feature a muscular styling, powerful performance, luxurious interiors, and awesome new features.

What’s a Gloster?

‘Gloster’ pays homage to MG’s British genes, putting a step forward on being bold, sturdy, reliable, and versatile. Moreover, it is a nod to the British jet-engine aircraft prototype and British engineering.

MG calls it #TheSelflessCar, putting your comfort and safety above everything else.

MG Gloster price in India starts at INR. 28.98 Lakhs to INR. 35.95 Lakhs. Furthermore, it is available in four trim levels: Super, Smart, Sharp, and Savvy.

With that brief introduction, let’s look at everything new in the 2020 MG Gloster.

MG Gloster Overview

Design

MG Gloster takes design inspiration from all walks of life; from a floating feature to a racetrack pattern.

On the front, it gets an octagon signature chrome grille with a chrome-plated front guard.

Similarly, the front design looks very classy with front projector LED headlights, front fog lamps, and chrome-treated skid plate.

Moving to the side, the chrome makes yet another comeback.

It gets a chrome treatment in outside door handles, DLO garnish, roof rails, side stepper finish, and trunk sill trim.

Finally, the rear gets a race track themed LED taillamp, Dual Barrel Twin Chrome Exhaust, and Rear 3D Emblem.

That was just the exterior.

Leather upholstery, soft-touch material, LED interior Reading Lights, 64 Colors of Ambient Lighting among other complete the premium interiors.

MG Gloster is available in four colors: Agate Red, Metal Black, Metal Ash, and Warm White. Additionally, it is available in the 6-seater or 7-seater model.

Features

ADAS

ADAS is a group of safety and convenience functions. It improves driver comfort and road safety.

MG Gloster ensures safety thanks to the Level 1 Autonomous Driving Control. It assists in Driver Assistance including elements to ensure and monitor the driving environment.

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Automatic Parking Assist (APA)

As a reference, Tesla electric car features Level 2 Autonomous Driving.

MG Gloster sets a record for most “First in the Segment” features.

As much as we want to highlight all the features in detail, it is for the best if we just highlight just the major key features.

MG Gloster Feature Highlights

• i-Smart 2.0 Technology

MG Gloster Price in Nepal and Availability

MG Gloster price in Nepal is expected to be a bank-breaker.

However, the price in India looks good. Especially considering everything currently being offered including the Level 1 First Autonomous Driving.

If you haven’t noticed, there aren’t many Autonomous Driving SUVs in India.

Theoretically, it might very well be a game-changer for the Indian and Nepali market.

Previously, MG eZS offered killer features with integrated Smart Technology in the Indian markets.

But when the car made its way into Nepal, those very smart features were missing. I do hope the same thing doesn’t happen yet again.

MG Gloster goes head-on against the likes of Ford Endeavor, Toyota Fortuner, and Tata Gravitas.
