JSW MG Motor India has officially commenced local production of its upcoming flagship internal combustion engine (ICE) SUV, the MG Majestor. Rolled out from the company’s manufacturing facility in Halol, Gujarat, this massive three-row vehicle is being positioned as India’s very first “D+ segment” premium SUV. Designed to replace the veteran Gloster, the Majestor represents a highly aggressive move by the automaker to capture market share in a lucrative segment long dominated by established legacy players.
Simultaneously with the production announcement, MG has opened official pre-reservations across India for a token booking amount of Rs 41,000, with a commercial market launch expected by June 2026. Anticipated ex-showroom pricing is projected to sit comfortably between Rs 40 lakh and Rs 45 lakh, undercutting several rivals while offering a massive leap forward in standard hardware.
Imposing Stance and Massive Road Presence
The MG Majestor relies on a highly traditional, boxy, body-on-frame silhouette to assert visual authority. The front fascia features an expansive “Mosaic Matrix” grille accented with premium piano-black details, flanked by sleek “Dragon Eye” LED daytime running lamps and vertically stacked tri-beam LED projector headlamps. Heavy-duty protective body cladding runs along the squared-off wheel arches, housing large 19-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 265/55 high-profile rubber.

True 4×4 Off-Road Capabilities and Hardware
While many modern premium SUVs have shifted toward lighter, urban-focused monocoque platforms, MG has engineered the Majestor for serious mechanical capability over demanding terrains.
| Performance & Off-Road Metrics | Specifications & Capabilities |
| Engine Displacement & Type | 2.0-Litre Twin-Turbocharged 4-Cylinder Diesel |
| Peak Power Output | 215.5 PS (213 bhp) @ 4,000 rpm |
| Maximum Torque Output | 478.5 Nm @ 1,500–2,400 rpm |
| Transmission Type | 8-Speed Torque-Converter Automatic |
| Ground Clearance | 219 mm (Unladen) |
| Water Wading Capacity | 810 mm (Segment-Best) |

The defining highlight of the Majestor’s drivetrain is the inclusion of segment-first triple differential locks (locking capabilities across the front, center, and rear axles). Combined with a dedicated low-range transfer case and an automated Crawl Control mode, the vehicle is built to handle broken rocks, deep ruts, and slippery mud with absolute traction control.
A Tech-Heavy Lounge on Wheels
Inside, the cabin shifts focus entirely toward digital convenience and premium comfort, available in high-end “Sharp” and “Savvy” trims across flexible 6-seater (captain chairs) and 7-seater configurations. The leatherette-wrapped dashboard features a massive dual-screen setup consisting of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 12.3-inch floating infotainment system running MG’s connected i-SMART suite.
Standard convenience features include a large panoramic sunroof, 3-zone automatic climate control, dual wireless phone chargers, and a premium 12-speaker JBL Studio sound system. To enhance long-distance comfort, the driver’s seat features 12-way power adjustment with memory, while both front seats are equipped with integrated ventilation and targeted massage functions.
Flagship Safety and Market Rivals
On the safety front, the Majestor provides a protective blanket consisting of 6 airbags, an electronic parking brake, hill-hold assist, and a comprehensive Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite. This radar-and-camera-based network controls active safety interventions like Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
When deliveries begin, the MG Majestor will go head-to-head with the legendary Toyota Fortuner, the luxury-oriented Skoda Kodiaq, and the Jeep Meridian. To build upfront consumer confidence against the Fortuner’s historic resale reputation, MG is packaging the Majestor with a highly competitive “5-5-5” ownership program, delivering a 5-year unlimited kilometer warranty, 5 years of roadside assistance, and 5 labor-free periodic services.
