MG Gloster SUV to Be Unveiled Today in India; Watch Online Streaming & LIVE Webcast Here
MG Motor India will be officially revealing the full size, Gloster SUV in the country. Though the SUV made its India debut earlier this year at the Auto Expo 2020, the carmaker will be unveiling the SUV in its full glory. The event is scheduled to commence at 11:30 am onwards. It is worth noting that the unveil event of the MG Gloster will be a virtual one, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The carmaker will not be announcing the prices of the 7-seater SUV today.
It will be MG's fourth product in the country after Hector, ZS EV and the Hector Plus. The full-size SUV is likely to go on sale in India later next month, probably the first week of October. We already know how the SUV will look like from the exterior perspective, thanks to the company's unveiling at the expo and couple of teasers given out. But, we don't know how the interior will pan out. So, today we will be getting the first glimpse of Gloster's cabin.
