MG Motor is all set to launch the MG Majestor in India on April 27. The SUV was earlier planned for April 20, but the date has now been updated. This model will replace the Gloster and become the brand’s flagship offering.
The Majestor is being positioned as a large and premium SUV with a clear focus on size, presence and features. It is expected to take on rivals like the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq.

In terms of design, the SUV carries a bold and upright look. The front gets a large grille with a dark finish, along with vertical LED headlamps and a sharp DRL pattern. From the side, the 19 inch alloy wheels and side steps add to its size and stance. At the rear, connected LED tail lamps and a wide body design give it a solid look. Overall, it has a proper big SUV appearance.
Engine and performance
The Majestor continues with a diesel engine setup that focuses on both power and usability. It gets a 2.0 litre twin turbo diesel engine producing around 215 hp and 478.5 Nm torque. This engine is paired with an 8 speed automatic gearbox.
It also comes with a 4WD system that includes low range, making it suitable for rough terrain.
