The upcoming MG Gloster premium 7-seater SUV will be the fourth offering from the British carmaker in the country. In the premium full-fledged SUV segment, the Gloster will take head-to-head against the cars like Toyota Fortuner, Mahindra Alturas G4 and Ford Endeavour. The model is slated to launch next month (October, 2020) and ahead of its official price unveiling the carmaker has revealed its key features. Here’re top 7 features that will be offered on MG’s new SUV but not on its arch rival – the Forutner.
1. 64 ambient lighting
While the carmaker hasn’t yet confirmed this feature, it’s reported to offer segment-first 64 colour ambient lighting system. It will not only illuminate controls on the instrument panel and dashboard, but help reduce stress on the eyes as well.

Similar to the Hector, the MG Gloster will come with iSmart connected car technology offering over 50 connected features. It will have an embedded SIM card that will support 4G and 5G networks. Check Out – New Prices of the MG Hector Plus SUV
