With the facelift, there may be enhancements or modifications to the powertrain to further elevate the SUV's performance capabilities.
Anticipated to debut in 2024, the MG Gloster facelift will continue its competition in the full-size SUV segment.

The facelift aims to reinforce its standing among these formidable contenders, offering potential buyers an updated and competitive option in the full-size SUV market.
