MG Gloster Offroad Capabilities Shown in the Latest TVC

MG Gloster is all set to enter the market by the end of this year. This SUV is among the most anticipated launches of the third quarter of 2020. Even though MG Motor India has not yet confirmed the exact launch date of the new premium SUV, it is likely that the Gloster will go on sale next month. It must be mentioned here that dimensionally, the Maxus D90-based upcoming SUV enjoys an advantage over the likes of Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour. However, it's also likely to cost a wee bit more.
