Premium Full-Size SUV Unveiled Amid Strong Market Buzz
JSW MG Motor India has officially unveiled the all-new MG Majestor — a bold, premium three-row full-size SUV positioned to compete aggressively with segment leaders like the Toyota Fortuner. Bookings for the SUV opened with a token amount of ₹41,000, and prices will be revealed in April 2026, ahead of deliveries slated for May.
Key Highlights of MG Majestor
- Flagship SUV for India: Positioned above the outgoing MG Gloster as MG’s top internal-combustion-engine model.
- Robust Powertrain: 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine producing ~212–215 PS with 478 Nm torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic.
- Rugged & Premium Design: Bold exterior with a dominant stance, split LED lighting, new grille and rugged body cladding.
- Advanced 4×4 Capability: Triple differential locks and up to 10 terrain modes aimed at serious off-road performance.
- Feature-Loaded Cabin: Dual 12.3″ screens, panoramic sunroof, i-Smart connected tech and Level-2 ADAS in higher trims.
Bold Presence with Capability and Comfort
At over 5 metres in length and sporting a commanding stance, the MG Majestor seeks to elevate MG’s footprint in India’s full-size SUV segment. Its styling blends rugged SUV cues with modern premium design elements — from the aggressive front fascia to vertically stacked LED lights and chunky 19-inch alloys.
Inside, the interior shifts focus to comfort and technology, offering features such as a panoramic sunroof, dual screens for infotainment and instrument cluster, and multiple connectivity/comfort features suitable for long journeys.
Being based on a ladder-frame chassis, the Majestor emphasizes durability and off-road muscle, with advanced 4×4 hardware including triple differential locks and crawl control — a package that looks to appeal to buyers who want both adventure capability and family usability.
Competitive Landscape: Taking On Segment Leaders
The Majestor enters a highly competitive full-size SUV market in India, famously led by stalwarts like the Toyota Fortuner (including its Legender variant). Comparisons in recent coverage stress the Majestor’s more contemporary design and rugged stance against Fortuner’s established reputation for reliability and resale strength.
Ultimately, while the Fortuner remains a benchmark, the Majestor’s advanced tech, strong diesel performance and rugged capability could resonate with buyers seeking greater value, interior tech, and off-road hardware in this segment.
Booking, Variants and Expected Pricing
Bookings are currently open at ₹41,000 across MG dealerships and the official portal. Prices are set to be announced in April 2026, with on-road estimates expected to range between ₹39 lakh and ₹45 lakh (ex-showroom). Delivery timelines are targeted from May 2026 onwards.
The Majestor will be offered in multiple variants, including 4×2 and 4×4 configurations, catering to diverse buyer preferences — from urban users to serious off-roaders.
What This Means for MG in India
The Majestor’s launch signals a strategic push by JSW MG Motor India to solidify its presence in the premium SUV space while transitioning away from the Gloster as its flagship internal combustion model. With robust plans for multiple new SUVs — including electrified and hybrid options — the company aims to expand its portfolio and compete more assertively across segments in 2026 and beyond.
