Toyota is gearing up for the launch of the next-generation Fortuner in the Indian and global markets. Meanwhile, MG Motors is also preparing to introduce a facelift for its flagship luxury SUV, the Gloster, featuring significant changes and the introduction of new features. In this article, we will delve into all the details known thus far about the upcoming Gloster Facelift!
The upcoming MG Gloster Facelift has been spotted during testing, revealing notable changes in size compared to the current model. It’s evident that the Gloster is essentially a rebadged Maxus D90 or LDV D90, considering its history. The facelifted version shares a striking resemblance with these models in terms of design, especially after the LDV D90 was showcased in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year. The Gloster Facelift is expected to feature a redesigned front and rear, with significant interior changes.

In terms of dimensions, the Gloster Facelift has grown substantially, measuring 5214 mm in length, 2016 mm in width, and 1876 mm in height. This is a considerable increase compared to the current version, which measured 4985 mm in length, 1926 mm in width, and 1867 mm in height. The facelifted version is longer by 229 mm, wider by 90 mm, and taller by 9 mm. The wheelbase remains the same, and any potential increase is likely due to additional bodywork.
Examining the design, the front profile showcases a massive grille with block patterns, housing two vertical LED elements enclosed by an orange element for top trims. Additionally, there are slim LED DRLs connected by an LED light bar, and vertically positioned tri-cube LED headlights, which offer a more appealing look than the current version. The large logo on the bonnet is expected to be replaced by “Morris Garages” lettering and an MG logo at the center of the grille.
Inside, the Gloster Facelift boasts a new infotainment system, a redesigned dashboard and center console, two new rotary dials for drive modes and 4×4 selection, while retaining the slimmer AC vents and steering wheel.
