The MG Gloster’s ex-showroom price is more than Rs 37 lakh, ex-showroom and it gets several first-segment features. Interestingly, the Jaguar XF is only assembled in India and not fully manufactured. That is why it attracts import taxes. All luxury car manufacturers in India import kits to assemble cars in India or they import the Completely Built Units (CBU), which attract a much higher amount of taxes.

Now comparing the Gloster with the Jaguar XF head-on, the Gloster excels in every aspect. It is much larger in size compared to the Jaguar XF that translates into bigger cabin space. Also, the Gloster offers a much longer list of features compared to the Jaguar XF.
