A test mule of MG Motors next flagship offering the MG Gloster has recently been spotted testing ahead of its launch, the test mule was spotted without any camouflage or external cover. The MG Gloster will be the third product for the domestic market and it seems that MG is all set to take on the market yet again as it did with the MG Hector and the MG ZS EV.
The MG flagship was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2020 alongside its cousin the 3-row MG Hector also known as the MG Hector Plus. The MG Gloster is based upon a tried and tested the platform which also underpins the MG Maxus D90. Additionally, the test mule was spotted by a YouTuber who by chance got a glimpse of this SUV which was being tested.
What Power’s the MG Gloster SUV?
Just like every other brand MG has not revealed any mechanical information but we can expect the new Fortuner rival to feature 2.0-litre turbo-petrol motor capable of generating 221bhp and 360Nm of peak torque while paired to a standard 6-speed manual and an optional Tiptronic automatic transmission.
Wait there’s more, rumour also has it that MG’s new flagship product could also get an all-new fiat-sourced 2.0-litre diesel motor capable of churning 200+Hp with around 480Nm torque.
The Feature Loaded Flagship
As seen in the images it seems that the all-new MG Gloster has borrowed some of its interior specifications from its elder sister the MG Maxus D90. However, the spy shots show that the MG Gloster will have a flat-bed steering wheel which can be considered as a standard feature with every car these days.
Looking at the dashboard we can believe the MG Gloster to get a massive rectangular touchscreen infotainment system accompanied with all-black interior with chrome inserts. We can also expect the MG Gloster to get a yacht lever styled gear knob which will surely add the much-needed premium feel to this full-sized SUV.
Talking about its size the all-new full-size SUV form MG will measure 5,005mm in length, 1,932mm in width, 1,875mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,950mm. Coming to the design, the upcoming Gloster will turn out to be the bling-king with a heavy chrome grille, LED headlamps with integrated DRL’s, a newly designed sculpted bumper and a long hood.
Expected Rivals
With its launch, the Gloster SUV will lock its horns with the segment topper the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour, the lesser-known Mahindra Alturas G4 and the upcoming Tata Gravitas which is set to launch during Diwali.
