MG Motor announces new SUV, e-MPV launches for 2024
MG Motor, following the successful release of the Hector Blackstorm Edition in India, is set to expand its portfolio with two new additions. The company has announced plans to unveil a revamped version of the MG Gloster SUV, and an electric MPV (e-MPV) within this year. These launches are part of MG's strategy to broaden its range in the automotive market.
2024 MG Gloster: A blend of aesthetics and mechanics
The forthcoming MG Gloster (facelift) will feature a blend of aesthetic enhancements and retained mechanical features. The exterior will present a completely reimagined front fascia, characterized by a large central grille and a split headlamp design. The DRLs will be placed next to the top of the grille, while the headlamps will be located at the ends of the redesigned bumpers.
A look at Gloster's interiors
The interior of the new Gloster promises an elevated luxury experience. It will feature an enlarged infotainment display with wireless smartphone connectivity, dual-zone climate control, a wireless charger, a digital instrument cluster, and a 360-degree-view camera. Mechanically, it will continue with the 2.0-liter, turbo-diesel engine on the 2WD variants and the 2.0-liter, twin-turbo diesel mill on the 4WD versions.
The electric MPV will be inspired by Wuling Cloud EV
MG Motors is also set to introduce an electric MPV inspired by the Wuling Cloud EV. Despite heavy camouflage in recent spy shots, some key features were discernible. These include a split headlight setup, indicators integrated into LED DRLs, new alloy rims, a charging port on the left front fender, door-mounted ORVMs, LED taillamps, an integrated spoiler, flush door handles, and rear bumper with space for the number plate.
Inside the e-MPV: High-tech features and long-range powertrain
The interior of the e-MPV will be equipped with a large floating-style touchscreen unit, digital instrument cluster, steering wheel-mounted controls, manual IRVM, as well as rear AC vents. The powertrain will consist of a large 50.6kWh battery pack, paired with a single electric motor on one axle. This setup is expected to deliver a range of 505km on a single charge, making it an efficient choice for long-distance travel.
