Big SUVs continue to attract attention in India, especially in the premium segment, where buyers now expect luxury features along with strong performance. MG is preparing to strengthen its position in that space with the new Majestor, whose production has now officially commenced in Gujarat.
The SUV is being manufactured at the Halol facility and will soon arrive in dealerships across the country. Pre-bookings for the Majestor are already open.
The Majestor will sit at the top of the brand’s SUV range and will rival models like the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq.
Strong diesel engine with proper 4×4 setup
The Majestor is powered by a 2.0-litre twin turbo diesel engine borrowed from the Gloster. This motor produces around 215 hp and 478 Nm of torque. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The SUV also gets a proper four-wheel-drive setup with low-range capability.
Different terrain modes available include:
- Mud
- Sand
- Snow
- Rock
- Normal
Three locking differentials are also part of the package, which is something usually seen in more hardcore off-road SUVs.
Additional off-road details include:
- Crawl control system
- 219 mm ground clearance
- 810 mm water wading ability
- 10 terrain response modes
Design keeps a large and upright SUV stance
The Majestor carries a boxy and muscular shape with a tall front profile. It gets a large black grille and vertically placed LED headlamps. Slim daytime running lamps are positioned higher up near the bonnet line.

The rear section gets a wide connected tail lamp bar with Morris Garages lettering placed in the centre.
