By MG continues to test the Gloster facelift model across different parts of the country. Since its introduction to the Indian market in 2020, the Gloster has solidified its position as a top-tier option in the SUV segment. The Gloster is based on the Maxus SUV lineage under parent company SAIC, the Gloster inherits its platform from the renowned LDV D90, a favoured model in markets like Australia. Recent spy shots hint at the facelift’s design cues, drawing inspiration from the LDV D90 with a revamped angular front fascia. Notable enhancements include a larger, square-shaped grille adorned with multiple square elements, elegantly finished in satin black.
Notable changes include a revamped headlamp setup reminiscent of the Hector, MG’s other successful offering. The addition of faux air inlets on the grille corners enhances the SUV’s aggressive stance. Moreover, increased body cladding, particularly with variants sporting a contrast matte black finish. While the rear receives subtle tweaks such as restyled tail lamps and a revised bumper, the overall silhouette remains familiar yet refreshed. Enthusiasts speculate that MG Motor may introduce additional chrome embellishments to align with the brand’s design language seen in models like the Hector and Astor.
The engine is expected to be the same 2.0 L diesel engine with the option of both 4×2 and 4×4 options. Despite no anticipated changes in the powertrain, sources suggest minor tech updates in the pipeline before the full-fledged facelift arrives later this year. We are not expecting the company to make any major mechanical changes for the Gloster as it is already one of the most capable SUVs in its segment. The launch of the Gloster facelift is expected to take place by the end of this year.
