Why MG Majestor Is a Big Deal {#big-deal}
But MG Majestor is not your typical challenger. It is bigger, bolder, more loaded — and it has arrived at a price that makes people seriously reconsider.
This is MG’s flagship ICE SUV, positioned above the Gloster, and it makes a strong case with a twin-turbo diesel engine, a segment-first triple differential lock, Level 2 ADAS, and a genuinely luxurious cabin.
Is it enough to take the Fortuner’s crown? Let’s find out.

Official Launch Details {#launch}
JSW MG Motor India officially confirmed the MG Majestor launch date as April 20, 2026. The car was first revealed to the public at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, and then officially unveiled in India in February 2026.
Bookings are already open for a token amount of ₹41,000, with deliveries scheduled to start from May 2026.
The MG Majestor replaces the Gloster as the brand’s flagship body-on-frame diesel SUV in India — a segment that also includes the Toyota Fortuner, Skoda Kodiaq, and Jeep Meridian.

The MG Majestor is expected to be priced between ₹40 lakh and ₹45 lakh (ex-showroom), directly competing with the Toyota Fortuner Legender and Jeep Meridian.
| Variant | Type | Expected Price |

Exterior Design {#design}
The MG Majestor adopts a “D+ segment” positioning, measuring over five metres in length. The exterior is defined by a large “Mosaic Matrix” grille, vertically stacked LED headlamps, and 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
Measuring 5,046 mm in length, 2,016 mm in width, and 1,876 mm in height, it is one of the largest SUVs MG has launched in India.
In plain terms — this is a genuinely big, imposing car. When it rolls up next to a Fortuner on the road, the Majestor will make the Fortuner look almost compact. The boxy, upright silhouette gives it road presence that very few SUVs in this price range can match.
It is available in four colours: Metal Black, Metal Ash, Concrete Grey, and Pearl White.
Engine & Performance {#engine}
The MG Majestor is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, twin-turbo diesel engine delivering 215 hp and 478.5 Nm of peak torque, paired exclusively with an 8-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.
| Engine Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L Twin-Turbo Diesel |
| Power | 215 hp (bhp) |
| Torque | 478.5 Nm |
| Gearbox | 8-speed Torque Converter Automatic |
| Drivetrain | RWD (Sharp/Savvy) + 4WD (Savvy 4×4) |
| Length | 5,046 mm |
| Width | 2,016 mm |
| Height | 1,876 mm |
To stand out in the full-size SUV segment, MG has equipped the Majestor with a sophisticated 4WD system featuring “M-Hub” terrain management.
The 4WD Savvy variant also gets a segment-first triple differential lock — a feature that is genuinely impressive at this price point and one the Fortuner does not offer in standard form.
Interior & Features {#interior}
Inside, the SUV features a redesigned dashboard with dual 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and digital instrumentation. The flagship Savvy trim includes 12-way powered driver seat with memory, 8-level massage functions, ventilated front seats, a 12-speaker JBL sound system, 64-colour ambient lighting, and i-SMART 2.0 with 75+ connected features.
Let’s break that down — because 8-level massage seats in a ₹40–45 lakh car is genuinely impressive. Long road trips will feel very different in the Savvy top trim.
Key interior highlights:
- Dual 12.3-inch screens — infotainment + digital instrument cluster
- 12-speaker JBL audio — premium sound system
- 8-level massage seats — driver and co-driver
- Ventilated front seats — essential for Indian summers
- 64-colour ambient lighting — full cabin mood lighting
- i-SMART 2.0 — 75+ connected car features via app
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay — seamless smartphone integration
Safety Features {#safety}
MG Majestor safety features include Level 2 ADAS, standard 6 airbags, 360-degree camera, hill hold and descent controls, ESP, TPMS, and ISOFIX anchors.
Level 2 ADAS includes:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Blind Spot Detection
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- 360-degree HD camera — parking made easy
At ₹40–45 lakh, getting Level 2 ADAS as standard across variants is the right move — and it puts pressure on competitors who offer it only on top trims.
Variants Explained {#variants}
The SUV is offered in four variants: Sharp 4X2 (7-seater), Savvy 4X2 (7-seater), Savvy 4X2 (6-seater), and Savvy 4X4 (7-seater).
Which variant should you choose?
- Sharp 4×2 — Entry point, great value, RWD, 7 seats. Best for city use.
- Savvy 4×2 7-seat — Adds premium features, JBL audio, massage seats. Best all-rounder.
- Savvy 4×2 6-seat — Captain chairs in the second row. Best for families who prioritize comfort.
- Savvy 4×4 — Triple differential lock, M-Crawl off-road mode. Best for adventure buyers.
