Variant Recommendation
With the base Sharp variant coming with almost all the features, it makes up for the most reasonable variant that you can go for considering there is a little difference in the features upgrade with the Savvy trim. However, if you value features like ADAS with extra features like automatic emergency braking, Auto Park, and most importantly, want a 4WD drivetrain, you have to go for the higher variant.
Verdict
The MG Gloster SUV is a solid SUV that offers one of the most tech laden cabin in its class with some features being standard firsts. However, when compared to Toyota Fortuner, it still has a long way to establish its authority as the time goes by. With a decent sales trajectory, as more and more units roll out of the cabin, it might gain its due attention pretty soon.
