MG Motor India has recently unveiled its Flagship SUV - MG Gloster. The MG Gloster was first showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo. Now, the carmaker is planning to launch it around the festive season of this year. Recently, the company organised an online event to showcase the various technologies that will be offered with this full-size SUV. According to MG, the Gloster will be India's first level-1 premium SUV with autonomous driving capabilities. Now, all the details about this full-size SUV are out. So, today we have for you the variants details of the upcoming MG Gloster.
Talking about the details of the variants of the MG Gloster, so the Gloster will be available in four trims - Super, Sharp, Smart and the range-topping variant will be called Savvy. The name Savvy hints that most of the hi-tech features will be available in this top of the line variant and it will lure the tech-savvy people. The Gloster will be available in four different colour shades - Agate Red, Metal Black, Metal Ash and Warm White. The official dimension figures are also out and yes the Gloster is a behemoth. It has sheer dimensions and thus will have a great road presence on the Indian roads. The dimensions are mentioned in the table below:
| Specification | MG Gloster |
| Length | 4985 mm |
| Width | 1926 mm |
| Height | 1867 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2950 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 210 mm* |
| Boot Space | 343-litres* (with all three-row seats up) |
| Fuel Tank Capacity | 75-litres |
Now, talking about the powertrain options, so here MG has surprised us again as the Gloster will be available with not one but two different diesel engine options. Both the mills will have the same 1996cc displacement and will be paired to the same transmission but they are vastly different. It will get a 2.0-litre single turbo diesel engine that will develop 163 PS of power at 4000 RPM and 375 Nm of peak torque between 1500-2400 RPM. The other mill is a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine that churns out a massive 218 PS of power at 4000 RPM and 480 Nm of peak torque between 1500-2400 RPM.

Both these oil-burners will be BS6-compliant and they will be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard. However, the single-turbo diesel engine will get 2WD system (rear-wheel drive) but the twin-turbo motor will get an on-demand Intelligent 4-wheel drive system. We believe MG has brought in the single turbo diesel engine to keep the costs in check and to lure more and more buyers. It is also worth mentioning that the single-turbo oil-burner will be available in Super and Smart trim. While the twin-turbo motor will be available in Sharp and Savvy trim.
Now, talking about the seating layout, so the Savvy and Smart variants will be available only as a six-seater (captain seats in the middle row). The base Super trim will be available in a seven-seater layout while the Sharp trim will be available both as a six-seater as well as a seven-seater. The Gloster will be loaded with features up to the brim. The SUV will also get ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and it will have level-1 autonomous driving capabilities with features like automatic park assist, adaptive cruise control, etc. Also, it will ride on 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
