The MG Gloster is positioned as a full-sized luxury SUV in India, offering seven-seater comfort, premium interiors, and a commanding road presence. Known for its spacious cabin, advanced safety features, and smooth 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine, the Gloster appeals to those seeking a premium SUV experience that rivals established global players. Its blend of sophistication and practicality makes it a favourite among luxury SUV enthusiasts.

Until recently, buyers of premium SUVs like the MG Gloster were burdened with one of the highest indirect tax rates in the automotive sector. Under the old GST system, large SUVs (over 4m in length, engines above 1500cc, and ground clearance above 170mm) attracted 28% GST and an additional 22% cess, bringing the effective tax to a steep 50%. This had a direct impact on the ex-showroom price, pushing the cost of ownership considerably higher.

With the rollout of GST 2.0, effective September 22, 2025, this tax structure has been simplified. The cess component has been scrapped entirely, and large SUVs like the MG Gloster now fall under a flat 40% GST rate. This results in a 10% tax reduction, which for a premium SUV translates into a major price drop — significantly improving its value proposition.
