The MG Gloster is that the newest entrant to the full-size SUV segment in India. it’s a diesel-only offering just like the Ford Endeavour but it’s offered in two versions, both mated to an 8-speed automatic drive . We recently had the prospect to check the top-spec twin-turbo diesel variant of the Gloster and these are our findings with regard to fuel efficiency:
| Engine | 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel |
| Power | 218PS |
| Torque | 480Nm |
| Transmission | 8-speed AT (4WD) |
| ARAI Claimed fuel efficiency | 12.35 kmpl |
| Tested fuel efficiency (City) | 9.48 kmpl |
| Tested fuel efficiency (Highway) | 10.08 kmpl |
The Gloster’s twin-turbo diesel may be a powerful one and its efficiency figures are appropriately low but in real-world conditions, it still fell in need of the claimed ARAI figure by nearly 3 kmpl within the city. It didn’t fare far better on the highways either because the mileage went up from 9.48 kmpl to only 10.08 kmpl, which remains quite 2 kmpl but the claimed efficiency.
Based on our real-world fuel efficiency results, let’s see how the MG Gloster would perform in mixed driving conditions:
| City: Highway | 50:50 | 25:75 | 75:25 |
| Efficiency | 9.77 kmpl | 10.07 kmpl | 9.62 kmpl |
Since the difference between the town and highway efficiency figures was so small, the expected efficiency in mixed driving conditions doesn’t vary much either. altogether scenarios, you’ll expect somewhere between 9.5-10 kmpl from the foremost powerful variant of the MG Gloster. Of course, you get best results when using it mostly for highway driving than city driving.
It is important to notice that fuel efficiency depends on a mixture of driving conditions, the car’s condition also as your driving style, so your results may vary from ours. If you own a twin-turbo diesel Gloster, be happy to share your findings with us within the comments.
