According to leaked pictures, the 2022 MG Gloster SUV will get redesigned LED taillights, updated LED headlamps, a slightly altered radiator grille and front bumper, and new alloy wheels. The rear bumper and tailgate, on the other hand, are identical to the current model.
A 12.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with advanced connectivity features, a digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, a 12-speaker sound system, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat with heating, ventilation, message and memory function, a 360-degree camera, 3-zone climate control, cruise control, traction control, 6 airbags, and other features are standard on the new 3-row MG Gloster SUV.
The SUV includes Level 1 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, collision avoidance system, and so on.
The existing 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbo diesel, and 2.0-liter dual turbo diesel engines are expected to be retained in the 2022 MG Gloster facelift. While the former produces 163bhp and 375Nm of torque, the twin-turbo unit delivers 218bhp and 480Nm. The twin-turbo diesel engine includes an on-demand 4WD system with selectable drive modes. Both engines are equipped with 8-speed automatic transmissions.
The MG Gloster 3-row SUV will compete directly with the Toyota Fortuner and Mahindra Alturas G4. Toyota is also working on the next-generation Fortuner SUV, which is slated to be released in 2023.
