MG India shares first teaser of the upcoming 2022 Gloster SUV; Launch scheduled for 31st August; Expected to come with minor cosmetic enhancements and updated ADAS technology
The flagship model of MG Motor’s line-up in India is soon set for an update. In a new teaser video released by the company, the car maker has teased the front end of the Gloster Facelift which is expected to get minor cosmetic updates. A few months back, we had covered the story of a heavily camouflaged test mule doing rounds on Indian roads. The teaser also hints at the introduction of some new first-in-segment features to the premium SUV.
2022 MG Gloster Facelift: Expected Changes
As per the spy shots, the facelifted SUV will continue to retain its overall boxy stance while featuring minor changes to the front profile with a new set of LED headlamps, revised front grille and a tweaked bumper design. The new model is also expected to come with new design alloy wheels. While the teaser hardly gives any information about the four-wheeler, the carmaker has included easter eggs like ‘Explore More’ and ‘Advance Gloster’ which suggests that the SUV can get some good off-road equipment and Level 2 ADAS.
Other additions include a revised infotainment system, smartphone connectivity features, ventilated seats and power adjustment with memory function.
2022 MG Gloster Facelift: Powertrain
The existing powertrain options are expected to continue with the new model. The 2.0-litre single turbo unit puts out 161 bhp and 375 Nm of peak torque while the twin-turbo unit is good enough to produce 215 bhp and 480 Nm of peak torque. Both units come paired to a 8-speed automatic gearbox.
