MG Motor India will be officially revealing the full size, Gloster SUV in the country. Though the SUV made its India debut earlier this year at the Auto Expo 2020, the carmaker will be unveiling the SUV in its full glory. The event is scheduled to commence at 11:30 am onwards. It is worth noting that the unveil event of the MG Gloster will be a virtual one, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The carmaker will not be announcing the prices of the 7-seater SUV today.
It will be MG's fourth product in the country after Hector, ZS EV and the Hector Plus. The full-size SUV is likely to go on sale in India later next month, probably the first week of October. We already know how the SUV will look like from the exterior perspective, thanks to the company's unveiling at the expo and couple of teasers given out. But, we don't know how the interior will pan out. So, today we will be getting the first glimpse of Gloster's cabin.
The upcoming Gloster SUV from the British carmaker will be a feature-loaded product. It will come equipped with level 1 autonomous driving capabilities. It includes auto park assist, adaptive cruise control, front collision warning system, blind-spot monitor, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
Other features will include a semi-digital instrument panel, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, a 12.3-inch floating touchscreen, tri-zone automatic AC, iSmart connectivity suite, foot-activated electric tailgate, and more. The SUV will also get an on-demand four-wheel drive (4WD) system with a Borg Warner transfer case.
Mechanically, the MG Gloster SUV will be powered by a Twin-turbo diesel engine which will be the segment-first offering in India. The engine will be tuned to make 218PS of maximum power and 218Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties will be carried out by an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Also, the company will be announcing the mechanical details of the SUV. It is expected to be based on the Maxus D90, which is sold in China since 2017. As far as the prices are concerned, the SUV is likely to be priced in the range of Rs 32 lakh to Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be pitted against the likes of the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour and Mahindra Alturas G4.
