2022 MG Gloster: exterior and interior updates
The updates on the 2022 Gloster are actually very minimal. The Gloster’s ADAS package gets three new features – Door Open Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist. Additionally, the i-Smart connected car app has been updated with new features, including 35 new Hinglish voice commands, in addition to the 100 existing ones. Notably, the i-Smart system, which was so far only compatible with Apple watches, is now compatible with Android-based smartwatches as well.
MG has also updated the MapmyIndia-sourced navigation system, which will now give real-time information about weather and AQI, and also get an integrated ‘Discover App’ that makes it easy to search for hotels and restaurants. Additionally, it also gets a new Park Plus headunit app that lets users book and pay in advance for parking slots.
On the outside, the 2022 Gloster gets a new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels that’s inspired by British windmill turbines. This, however, will only be offered on the 4x4 variants. MG has also introduced a new ‘Deep Golden’ colour in addition to the existing Metal Black, Metal Ash and Warm White colour options. The previously available ‘Agate Red’ colour option seems to have been discontinued.

2022 MG Gloster: remains mechanically unchanged
The updated Gloster remains mechanically unchanged and is offered with a 163hp, 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine in 4x2 guise, while the 218hp, 2.0-litre twin turbo-diesel engine comes only in 4x4 guise. Both powertrains come mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The Toyota Fortuner remains the only direct rival to the Gloster as both are body-on-frame three-row SUVs. However, for its price, it also sees competition from the Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq.
