The MG Gloster's USP lies in its size. It's bigger than all of its rivals which can be a huge positive for buyers in this segment. Even the interior wooes you with its premium design which looks somewhat similar to.

The Gloster also comes with an extra long feature list, with the highlight being the level 1 autonomous driving tech including lane departure warning, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and park assist. Other comfort-based features on offer are a 12.3-inch infotainment system with connected car tech, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a tri-zone climate control, powered front seats with heated and ventilated functions, massage function for the driver, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof.

The Gloster comes with two 2.0-litre diesel engine options with different outputs. Nope, they aren't the same engine with a different tune. The Gloster's higher variants come with a more sophisticated twin-turbo setup. Here are the specs:

	MG Gloster 2WD	MG Gloster AWD
Engine	2.0-litre turbo	2.0-litre twin-turbo

Transmission	8-speed automatic	8-speed automatic
Variants On Offer	Super 7-seater, Smart 6-seater	Sharp 6-seater, Sharp 7-seater, Savvy 6-seater

The Gloster won't come cheap. In fact, we expect the base variant with the lower-spec 2.0-litre engine to start around Rs 30 lakh, while the top-spec variant with all bells and whistles should be priced around Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom).
