The MG Gloster is a full-size SUV that combines powerful diesel performance, 4x4 off-road capabilities, and a premium cabin experience. Designed to compete with segment leaders like the Toyota Fortuner and Skoda Kodiaq, the Gloster delivers class-leading technology, ample space, and safety-first engineering. Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations, it’s ideal for both highway touring and chauffeur-driven comfort.
The MG Gloster is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, offered in two configurations. The single-turbo variant produces 161 PS and 375 Nm of torque, suitable for relaxed city and highway use. The twin-turbo version delivers 216 PS and 479 Nm, offering brisk acceleration and effortless cruising even with a full load. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, while select trims also come with an intelligent 4x4 system and terrain modes like Snow, Mud, and Sand. The Gloster’s top speed is rated at approximately 180 km/h, making it one of the quickest SUVs in its class.
Despite its size and performance credentials, the MG Gloster delivers respectable mileage. The ARAI-claimed fuel efficiency is around 13.9 km/l for the 4x2 version and approximately 12.4 km/l for the 4x4 twin-turbo variants. Real-world mileage may vary depending on city traffic, terrain mode, and load conditions, but the 8-speed automatic gearbox helps optimise efficiency in most scenarios.
The MG Gloster measures 4,985 mm in length, 1,926 mm in width, and 1,867 mm in height, giving it a commanding presence on the road. It rides on a long 2,950 mm wheelbase, ensuring ample space across all three rows. The ground clearance stands at 210 mm, making the Gloster well-suited for Indian roads, uneven terrain, and mild off-roading. The SUV’s turning radius is reasonable for its size, aided by electronic steering assistance.
With all three rows up, the Gloster offers a boot capacity of around 343 litres, which expands significantly when the third row is folded flat. This makes it practical for both family luggage and business travel needs. The cabin features multiple USB ports, power outlets, cup holders, and door pockets to ensure convenience for every passenger.
The Gloster comes packed with premium features, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree camera, powered driver seat with memory, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and ambient lighting. Segment-first features like Level 2 ADAS bring in adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking—raising the bar for tech in the premium SUV space.
With its spacious layout, safety-first design, and tech-laden cabin, the MG Gloster stands out as a true all-rounder in the full-size SUV segment.
