MG Motor is stepping into the big league with its all-new MG Majestor, officially launching in India on February 12, 2026. This full-size premium SUV is positioned above the Gloster and squarely aimed at dominating the D+ segment, taking on the likes of the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, and Skoda Kodiaq.
With a bold design, a feature-rich cabin, and powerful engine specs, the Majestor could be a game-changer in the Indian SUV market.
Design
The MG Majestor isn’t subtle — and that’s the point. This SUV is built to stand out. First revealed at the Auto Expo 2025, the Majestor’s production model stays true to the concept’s aggressive design.
Built on the Maxus D90 platform (also used in the MG Rakan in Kuwait), the SUV flaunts an international design language with a muscular, road-dominating stance.
Up front, it boasts a large Matrix-style grille, flanked by split headlamps and sleek LED DRLs. The DRLs run horizontally and vertically, giving the SUV a unique signature look.
Its side profile features flared arches, chrome accents, and 19-inch alloy wheels, all contributing to its powerful silhouette. The back end looks equally premium, with wraparound taillamps and a clean, squared-off boot line.
No matter where it’s parked — a mall, an office complex, or an off-road trail — the Majestor looks like it belongs.
Cabin
While MG hasn’t fully unveiled the interior, spy shots and global versions of the platform offer strong clues. The Majestor is expected to share its cabin layout with the Maxus D90. Think of a tech-loaded, premium lounge on wheels.
The dashboard is expected to feature a 12.3-inch floating infotainment touchscreen seamlessly paired with another 12.3-inch digital driver display. This dual-display setup gives it a modern, futuristic vibe. A three-spoke steering wheel, column-mounted gear selector, and sleek center console add to the premium feel.
Here’s a peek at the major interior features expected:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Three-zone climate control
- Wireless phone charging
- 12-speaker premium audio system
- Powered tailgate
- Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System)
- Ventilated, electrically adjustable front seats with massage and heating functions
It’s safe to say the Majestor won’t just be about muscle — it’s about luxury, comfort, and convenience too.
Engine
The Majestor is expected to be powered by the same engine as the MG Gloster, which means serious performance. Under the hood sits a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine delivering 212.5 bhp and 478.5 Nm of torque.
It’ll be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and available in both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) variants.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission | Drive Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L Twin-Turbo Diesel | 212.5 bhp | 478.5 Nm | 8-speed Auto | RWD / 4WD |
So whether it’s daily city commutes, long road trips, or rugged terrain, the Majestor promises capable, confident performance.
Competition
The MG Majestor’s biggest rival is undoubtedly the Toyota Fortuner, which has ruled the D+ SUV space for years. But MG is clearly taking a different approach — focusing heavily on technology, comfort, and value-for-money luxury.
While the Fortuner offers rugged reliability, the Majestor is going after buyers who want a more modern, feature-packed experience.
Other competitors include the Jeep Meridian, Skoda Kodiaq, and top-end trims of the Tata Safari. But thanks to its size, bold design, and high-end features, the Majestor is likely to appeal to both family buyers and those looking for an executive ride.
Expectations
MG’s strategy with the Majestor seems clear: offer more for less. If they can price it smartly — say, below or around the Fortuner’s territory — it might just disrupt the premium SUV space. Given that MG has a reputation for feature-loaded offerings at aggressive price points, expectations are running high.
Also, the blend of global design, luxury features, and serious engine power gives it all the right ingredients to become MG’s new flagship success in India.
So as the MG Majestor revs up for its big day, all eyes are on February 12. With its powerful presence, international platform, and focus on next-gen features, this SUV could be the breath of fresh air the segment needed.
