Performance & Drive:

MG Gloster is all about giving your an exceptional driving experience adapting to all your needs offering you both a front-wheel driving option and a four-wheel driving option. The 1996 cc engine generates enough power to run the front wheels, while higher-end trims make your journey even more smooth and comfortable with a four-wheel driving feature. There will be presented the options of both six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmission while both the transmissions change the throttle smoothly, giving you a hassle-free driving experience. MG Gloster is equipped with an electric power-assisted steering wheel that works well and lets the drivers make turns easily. It is not confirmed yet either the Gloster will be available as a CBU unit or not that is why a detailed performance overview is not possible. It will have the option of four pre-set driving modes in a four-wheel-drive are Sand, Snow, Rock mode, and Mud mode depending on the type of road condition but those will change automatically and can not be selected manually. Apart from these modes, there will be the option of Eco driving mode and Sport mode. Talking about the acceleration of ‘Gloster’ then it is worth mentioning that it is a quick seven-seater SUV that accelerates from zero to a hundred kilometres per hour in 11.2 seconds. We are expecting the ride quality to be refined and keep the engine noise at least. The big size of this SUV can make the body roll, which makes the lane-changing manoeuvers a bit difficult even at high speeds. It will be best suited for highway drives where its slow revving engine starts to spin beyond 3900 RPM, and big torque reservoirs let the drivers cruise comfortably on highways. Thus MG Gloster will be the vehicle for your long road journeys, especially for families. Fuel-economy of MG Gloster is average because it has a powerful engine and gives a mileage of around 12 kilometers per liter and has a fuel tank capacity of seventy-five liters. Some of the other features making your ride exceptional are an automatic emergency braking system, adaptive cruise control system, hill start assistance, and descent control system.

The rear end has overdosed with almost five badges that include the MG logo, 4WD badge, and ADAS logo, telling us about driver’s aid. The nineteen inches alloy wheels give it a real sporty and masculine look.

Interior Design & Features:

The interior design of Gloster is as attractive as its exterior looks having a flowing dashboard that has leather upholstery and aluminum trim pieces found throughout the cabin. A 12.3 inches touch screen is mounted on the dashboard that gives you infotainment, and it comes with Android Auto and Apple Carplay interface. Along with it, you will also get eight inches instrumental cluster, giving drivers enough information about the drive. ADAS gives you information about tire pressure, media, smartphone connectivity, calls, tachometer, forward collision warning alarm, and much more.
