MG is readying a facelift for the Gloster, which has been around in India since 2020. Ahead of its launch later this year, the Gloster facelift has been spied on test yet again, revealing its interior design for the first time.

MG Gloster facelift interior, exterior design

On the inside, the test mule packs a larger touchscreen infotainment system as compared to the 12.3-inch unit seen on the current model. The driver's display, which is partially visible in the spy shots, will also likely be a fully digital TFT unit with customisable interfaces. The cabin features an all-black layout as opposed to the tan upholstery seen on the pre-facelift model.

The Gloster facelift will likely borrow the Maxus D90 (Lingdi)'s interior.

The Gloster facelift will likely be based on the Maxus D90 (Lingdi) sold in China by MG Motor's parent group SAIC. The India-spec model could borrow the Maxus SUV's cabin, which gets restyled AC vents, an updated dashboard and a completely revamped centre console.

The exterior is expected to be in line with the D90, but feature minimal changes like horizontal slats for the large front grille and slightly revised bumpers. The India-spec model will also likely get more chrome bits on the outside, including the front grille. Over the current Gloster, the facelifted model will get redesigned split-LED headlamps with prominent Daytime Running Lamps, new alloy wheels, as well as new tail-lamps that are connected with a light bar running across the tailgate.

MG Gloster facelift powertrain, expected price

Mechanically, the Gloster is expected to carry forward the existing 2.0-litre diesel engine with both 4x2 and 4x4 drive configurations. MG Motor is yet to announce the Gloster facelift’s launch timeline, but we expect it to go on sale by the end of this year. The three-row SUV is priced from Rs 38.80 lakh to Rs 43.87 lakh, but the facelift will likely be priced higher.

It will continue to compete with the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq, as well as the upcoming Nissan X-Trail.
