The rear is not appealing as expected from an MPV that features old-styled taillights. The tiny alloy wheels are so small as compared to the body size of Glory 370 that gives it a very cheap feeling.
Interior designs and features:
The interior design of Glory 370 is also not very attractive with cheap trim materials used inside. The interior is designed in black color and has a big touch screen display that is very hard to use and has lots of buttons to control it.

Verdict:
DFSK Glory 370 is available at a very economical price, but as a whole, it is an oddball and comes with many drawbacks. The cheap-looking small wheels are very unsafe, and the interior is also quite cheap-looking and does not appeal to the customers. The major plus points of Glory 370 are; the spacious cabin that accommodates seven adults comfortably and its budget-friendly price, so if you still want it by ignoring its drawbacks then you can prioritize it because of its low pricing as compared to the competitors.
