Recently MG took the wraps off the new MG Majestor and now the SUV has done something that feels almost unbelievable. It was taken straight into the harsh winter zone of Spiti Valley where roads are fully covered in snow and temperatures drop to -20°C.
India’s First ‘D+ SUV’ tag also stands strong as the SUV remained calm, controlled and confident in extreme conditions. The drive also reflected smooth traction control and stable movement even on deep ice.
Extreme Snow Run Conditions
The SUV was driven across thick ice sheets and deep snow without stopping or losing control. One of the key highlights was a 2-foot snow layer where it kept moving with steady grip.
Key highlights from the Spiti run
- Temperature around -20°C
- Steep and narrow mountain roads
- Icy and uneven terrain
- Seamless traction control with stable movement
The SUV also showed strong control and composure even on unpredictable icy patches.
High Altitude Challenge
The SUV also went up to Key Gompa which sits at 13,668 feet. The road to this place is narrow with sharp turns and full of snow. Even in these conditions the vehicle stayed stable and controlled.
It was also tested on long climbs where engine power and grip worked together without strain.
Chicham Bridge Crossing
Another standout moment was the Chicham Bridge crossing. This is known as Asia’s highest suspension bridge. The SUV crossed it without any struggle, showcasing its strong build quality and balance.
This also highlighted the strong suspension setup and overall structural strength of the SUV.
Driving Tech Used in This Condition
- Crawl Control Mode for slow and safe movement
- Snow Mode for extra grip on ice
- Advanced 4WD system for all surface types
- 10 off-road drive modes for different terrain
- Terrain response system for better control
- Strong traction management system
Size, Capability and Off-Road Strength
Ground clearance also helped a lot. The SUV has 219 mm clearance which keeps it away from deep snow and rough patches. It offers 810 mm water wading capacity for tough conditions as well.
It also comes with first-in-segment triple differential locks (front, rear and centre), helping distribute power evenly when grip is low.
