Ahead of its official launch likely this year, MG Motors has been again spied testing the SUV in Karnataka with full camouflage. Let’s deep dive into the article to find more about the Gloster facelift.
The upcoming MG Gloster Facelift has been spotted testing, and on first look its evident that the SUV is essentially a rebadged Maxus D90 or LDV D90. The facelift 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.

The facelifted model has grown significantly to 5214 mm in length, 2016 mm in width, and 1876 mm in height. Compared to the previous version, which was 4985 mm long, 1926 mm wide, and 1867 mm tall, the new model is 229 mm longer, 90 mm wider, and 9 mm taller. The wheelbase remains unchanged, with the size increase 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.
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.
