The wait is almost over for SUV fans as JSW MG Motor India is all set to roll out the Majestor — a new flagship SUV based on the Gloster platform. After turning heads at the Bharat Mobility Expo earlier this year and being spotted multiple times during testing, the Majestor is now gearing up for its official market debut next month.
Positioning
The MG Majestor isn’t just another facelift or variant. This new model will sit above the Gloster in MG’s SUV lineup, serving as the brand’s top-of-the-line offering. It aims to shake up the full-size SUV space, going head-to-head with heavyweights like the Toyota Fortuner.
Design
What sets the Majestor apart at first glance is its bold, muscular styling. It takes the base Gloster’s silhouette and injects it with a dose of aggression and flair. The front fascia is noticeably sharper, featuring a wider grille, vertical LED headlamps, angular daytime running lights, and a robust bumper finished with a silver touch.
Around the back, things get even more distinct. Connected tail lamps stretch across the width, adding a sense of width and presence. A large ‘Majestor’ badge dominates the rear, while dual exhaust pipes emphasize the SUV’s sporty vibe.
Features
Inside, the Majestor is expected to be nothing short of a tech-filled lounge. MG is upping the luxury quotient with a refreshed dashboard layout and a host of premium features. Here’s a look at what you can expect:
| Feature | Availability |
|---|---|
| 12.3-inch infotainment | Yes |
| Panoramic sunroof | Yes |
| Powered front seats | Yes |
| Ventilated front seats | Yes |
| 360-degree camera | Yes |
| Level 2 ADAS technology | Yes |
These additions clearly indicate MG’s focus on blending comfort, safety, and tech into a single package. The Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System alone places it among the more sophisticated SUVs in its class.
Powertrain
While the design and features get a major overhaul, the engine options remain unchanged. The Majestor will use the same mechanical setup as the Gloster. That means you can expect a 2.0-litre diesel engine paired with an automatic transmission, and possibly a 4×4 option on higher variants.
No petrol engine is expected at this point, which aligns with MG’s current strategy for its larger SUVs in India.
Pricing
Expect the MG Majestor to carry a premium of about Rs. 5 lakh over the Gloster. Given that the Gloster is currently priced between Rs. 38 lakh to Rs. 43 lakh (ex-showroom), the Majestor could touch the Rs. 48 lakh mark for top trims. This pricing puts it right in the ring with the Toyota Fortuner and even nudges close to some entry-level luxury SUVs.
The premium is justified by the upgraded features, styling enhancements, and MG’s focus on delivering a more luxurious experience.
Rivals
The Majestor’s biggest rival will be the Toyota Fortuner — the undisputed king of this segment. But it also eyes competition from the likes of the Jeep Meridian, Skoda Kodiaq, and even some luxury-badged SUVs, depending on the final pricing.
MG is clearly aiming to disrupt this space by offering a tech-rich alternative with modern styling and creature comforts that rival, or even outdo, the segment leaders.
