MG Motor India has silently updated prices of the Gloster SUV in the country. The flagship SUV has become costlier by up to Rs. 80,000 depending on the variant. The Chinese-owned British carmaker has updated new prices of the SUV on its official website. When we contacted MG Motor India, the company confirmed the upward price revision for the SUV, effective from May 1, 2021. This decision to increase prices is primarily attributed to the rising input costs and weakening of the Indian currency. The SUV was introduced in the Indian market last year in October, with prices starting at Rs. 28.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
