Hector on road is around 20 Lakhs in Delhi so I doubt a bigger and proper SUV will be priced this low. A more reasonable expectation would be 30-35 Lakhs. ![]() | |

| ![]() I think this SUV will be big failure even if it is priced at par with Fortuner and Endeavour. A new Chinese company can only succeed if it provides something that is not there in the market before at a middle class price. Above 30 lakhs the buying class go after the big brands which they can boast off as well enjoy them. Cars like Gloster can't claim either of these. My opinion , may be I a wrong. |

The Fortuner and Endeavour are both aspirational buys. No way a majority of the buyers go for this Chinese car masquerading as a British brand instead of the Fortuner if they are similarly priced. I'd think I am putting 30 down anyways, why not put a couple of lakhs more and get a time tested product. Last edited by Gannu_1 : 28th June 2020 at 23:56.

I don't think the Gloster will kill the Fortuner, but don't underestimate the market for a more cost-effective option. Just because people have been forking out almost Rs 40 lakh for a Fortuner and Endy for so long, it is not a gaurantee that they are not open to a more cost-effective option. I can see the Gloster doing well because MG will price it aggressively. My prediction, a starting base variant at a shock value Rs 23.99 lakh and top-end diesel auto at less than Rs 35 lakh. And frankly, those two have ruled that market for too long, it is time to see what some competition can do. And lastly, I think MG as a brand has got some serious loyal following. They do swallow that whole 'British brand' marketing spiel full on, but a lot of these guys are happy with their SUVs, they spread the word and are open for more products. Try arguing with an MG guy that his car is actually Chinese. ![]() Therefore, I think the Gloster is not be underestimated and I am actually looking forward to see a shake-up of that segment! BTW it is also sold as the LDV in Australia. Here's a comprehensive review: Last edited by avishar : 29th June 2020 at 00:17. | |

| ![]() Thanks for the vid, I have already checked out a few review of the Australian version. Even in this video, just going down a seemingly straight road, it's bouncing so much ![]() Plus I still maintain that it looks old and dated, and to me, kinda ugly from the back. And the interiors are a blatantly BMWish. Just tell them how the same car sells for roughly 8.5 Lakhs in China (base model) as the Baojun 530, is sold as Chevrolet Captiva in Thailand, Columbia and other Latin American Countries, and as the Wuling Almaz in Indonesia. So what is it then? A British MG, or an American Chevrolet, a Chinese Baojun or the Wuling? To be brutal, it is a Chinese car, and whether the owners agree or not is irrelevant, not saying that it's a bad thing, competition is always welcome. They need to replicate the same mantra that made the Hector successful, it was a disruptor, this thing needs to be one too. Someone else said on this thread that localization will be low, don't know if that true. But I doubt it will succeed if it is taxed out of the competition. This is what I feel as well. They may be trying to pull what TATA did with the Harrier. Leak a vague higher price, but then sell it for a lot less than what the market expects to make it feel like a VFM proposition, while undercutting the competition.

Instead of this they should have launched their MG RX8 which looks better and macho. The pricing too equates to around 17 Lakhs for RX8 and they could easily achieve something around 20 Lakh INR with local production.

| ![]() A lot of the previous comments compare MG Gloster with the Alturas G4, but none seem to mention that they are look-alikes! Is it just me who thinks that either MG copied SsangYong/M&M or SsangYong copied MG, or even they both copied the same Japanese car? Very weird, but the first time i read this thread, i kept associating the comments with Alturas G4! |

| ![]() MG Gloster spied with a twin-exhaust setup New spy images of the MG Gloster have surfaced online. This particular test mule, which was spotted in Bangalore, has twin exhausts unlike the quad exhaust setup seen on prototypes spotted earlier. ![]() The different exhaust setups suggest that the Gloster could get more than one engine option or perhaps the more sportier looking quad exhausts could be available on a higher variant. ![]() The MG Gloster is a re-badged version of the Maxus D90 sold in the Chinese market. It is expected to be imported as a completely knocked down (CKD) unit and assembled at MG's Halol plant. The 7-seater SUV is likely to be offered with an FCA-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 218 BHP and 480 Nm. The engine could be paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. ![]() The MG Gloster will be positioned above the Hector and will compete with the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour and Mahindra Alturas G4 in the Indian market.
