Engine and Performance
We’re simply enthralled by the refinement and subdued NVH levels within the Gloster’s pristinely insulated cabin. The 215bhp/480Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel mill makes ideal use of an eight-speed automatic gearbox and an AWD system to lay down its power on the road. And it’s got drive-modes like Auto, Eco, Sport, Mud, Sand, Rock, and Snow. What caught us off-guard is the manner in which its mammoth 480Nm of torque is unravelled from as low as 1,500-2,400rpm, tugging this 2.7-tonne of mass into motion quite effortlessly; even with a full load.
