MG Gloster Facelift vs New Toyota Fortuner – Verdict
In the end the decision to buy which SUV depends totally on you, however, you can go ahead buy their outgoing version as they both are still on sale and are worth buying. Although you can wait to buy the new Gloster Facelift launching later this year with tons of new features, space, and performance that we aren’t aware of. The same is the case for the upcoming new Fortuner as it’s getting next-generation update and in this update, one thing is confirmed it’ll get Hybrid tech for both the engines. Other than that, no one at the moment has any idea where Toyota is headed so it’s better to wait if you’re not in such a hurry to buy the Fortuner. So, what are you gonna do?
