MG Motor introduces India’s first Autonomous (Level 1) Premium SUV, MG Gloster

MG Motor India today introduced India’s first Autonomous (Level 1) Premium SUV, MG Gloster. Gloster comes with first-in-segment Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Automatic Parking Assist. Other features include Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD).

MG Gloster is expected to be launched with a 2.0-litre twin-turbocharged diesel engine which is expected to produce around 215 BHP and 480 Nm of peak torque. This engine will come with an automatic transmission only. Gloster includes multiple driving modes and features Intelligent All Terrain System which provides enhanced control during vehicle off-roading with a dedicated rear differential and BorgWarner transfer case and electronic shift-on-the-fly technology.

Rajeev Chaba, President and MD, MG Motor India, said, “We are beginning a new chapter in India’s auto sector today with the launch of its First Autonomous (Level 1) premium SUV. There are multiple scenarios wherein Gloster can sense and make decisions to improve your overall driving experience with ADAS technology. In other words, Gloster is not just another car – it is a high-tech assistant. With best-in-class features, a towering road presence, powerful capability, and luxurious interiors, the all-new MG Gloster is designed to set new benchmarks.”

Gloster comes with 7 different drive modes, namely Snow, Mud, Sand, Eco, Sport, Normal and Rock.
