MG plans to take the fight to the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour with the aggressively priced Gloster that’s half a size bigger and comes loaded to the gills with features

With the Gloster, MG doesn’t just plan to appeal to those for whom size matters the most, but also those on the hunt for a feature-packed luxury SUV which means the Gloster is looking to lock horns with everything right from the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour to the Skoda Kodiaq and even entry-level luxury SUVs from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the likes.

The Gloster is bigger than the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour. It is also longer and taller than the Mahindra Alturas G4 but not as wide. At 2,950mm the Gloster has a longer wheelbase than those SUVs as well. Those generous proportions give it immense presence on the road of course. However, unlike the Hector, the Gloster isn’t what you’d call radical or eye-catching in terms of design as its styling follows a more conventional approach. It looks premium enough with its all-LED headlamps including LED turn indicators, 19-inch two-tone alloys and LED elements for the tail lamp. However, we feel the fog lamps should have been LED units as well keeping the premium positioning and the price of the Gloster in mind. The tailgate sports a whole host of badges including the name spread across the boot lid in big bold letters. We’re not big fans of it but it’s for the owners and buyers to decide whether they like it or not.
