In India, the Gloster will mainly be pitted against the two popular SUVs in the country, the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Endeavour. The MG Gloster is 4885mm in length, 1926mm in width and 1867mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2950mm. Thus it is bigger than its two main competitors in length, width, height and wheelbase.
The 4x4 Gloster is powered by a 2 litre twin-turbo diesel engine with a displacement of 1996cc and this is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The power and torque produced by the Gloster engine is way ahead of the pack at 215hp@4000rpm and 480Nm @ 1500-2400rpm respectively.
But the Gloster will also be offered with a choice of a turbo diesel engine with 1996cc displacement that would produce relatively less power at 161hp @4000rpm and a peak torque of 375Nm @1500-2400 rpm. This will be in 2-wheel drive. The one we were driving was the more powerful 4 wheel drive model.
The Gloster also comes with 255/55 R19 alloys, while the other two offer R 18 tyres. As for the spare wheel, this too is a 255/55 R 19 alloys.
Okay, let me stop this brief comparison and go straight to some of the features of the new Gloster from MG Motor India.
