The fifth-generation Gloucester (グロースター, Gurōsutā) is a remodeled Sutherland focused on close combat. Featuring enhanced hand-to-hand capabilities, the Gloucester is exclusively used by Princess Cornelia's royal guards and is first seen piloted by Gilbert G.P. Guilford and Darlton during the conquest of Area 18. The Gloucester, as a close combat unit, uses a large jousting lance, and to further represent a medieval knight's appearance is occasionally draped in a cape. Although normal Gloucester models are painted a flat, dull purple, Cornelia's aides sport a more vibrant deep-purple color scheme. The elite Glaston Knights' units are standard-colored except for their shoulders, which are colored blue. The cape on standard-model Gloucesters are a muted dark blue-grey, while those of Guilford, Darlton, and the Glaston Knights are navy-blue.

In addition to standard Sutherland equipment, the Glaston Knights were shown to use a pair of five-barrel missile launchers attached to the sides of their cockpits, along with a sniper rifle (used in season two to nearly destroy Rolo's Vincent, only Lelouch 'saved' him). Guilford's Gloucester has also been equipped with a pair of MVS stored in black scabbards on the sides of the Gloucester's cockpit. In the second season, Gloucester models are seen in larger numbers, and can equip a Float System backpack.

In the Area 18 attack, the Gloucesters moreover were shown equipped with sand panels similar to those used by the Z-01 Lancelot in the Battle of Narita.

Princess Cornelia's Gloucester is a custom model featuring two horn-like antenna arrays protruding from both sides of the headpiece, as well as a more ornamental waist armor. Its color is a lighter, more vibrant purple, and its cape is white. The unit was severely damaged during the Black Rebellion at the end of the first season when Darlton, under the influence of Lelouch's Geass, threw his lance at it and impaled it through the cockpit, badly wounding Cornelia.
