MG Gloster India Launch After Hector Plus

MG Motors unveiled two SUVs at the recently concluded Auto Expo 2020 – Hector Plus and Gloster. The manufacturer also confirmed the launch plans of these SUVs. The Hector Plus is scheduled to be launched in between a span of 3 to 6 months from now, while the Gloster is set to be launched after the Hector Plus. The Gloster, which happens to be a badge-engineered version of the Maxus D90 sold in China, has already been spotted testing on Indian roads on a few occassions.

MG Gloster will be offered with 2 enigne options to choose from, a 2.0L petrol and a 2.0L diesel.

The car is been rigorously tested to bring it in its best avatar for Indian driving conditions and complete the homologation process. However, a delay is expected in its launch as the China-based parts suppliers of MG are not working at their full capacity. The Coronavirus epidemic is taking a toll on China’s production facilities, which supply materials to the company’s Indian subsidiary.

Although, once launched, the Gloster is going to be an important car for the manufacturer. It will compete with the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Endeavour. Helping the Gloster stand out would be its dimensions, which give it an imposing stance and loads of road presence. The SUV measures 5005mm in length, 1932mm in width, and 1850mm in height. With these dimensions, the Gloster can tower over almost any other SUV in its segment.
