MG Majestor set for India debut on February 12: A new challenger in premium SUV market

JSW MG Motor India is set to roll out the MG Majestor on February 12, marking the brand’s most ambitious entry yet into the premium, body-on-frame Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment.
Positioned above the Gloster, the Majestor will take aim at established rivals such as the Toyota Fortuner Legender, Skoda Kodiaq, and is aimed at having a slice of the D+ SUV segment.
Pricing strategy and market implications
Industry estimates peg the Majestor’s pricing in the ₹40–45 lakh (ex-showroom) range. If priced aggressively, MG could disrupt a segment long dominated by a few nameplates, especially among buyers prioritising features and technology over legacy brand appeal, according to industry observers.
Technical specifications
Under the hood, the Majestor is widely expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A 4x4 drivetrain will be central to its positioning, catering to buyers seeking genuine off-road capability alongside highway comfort—an important consideration in this segment, according to sources.
