MG Majestor : A serious contender in the SUV segment

The MG Majestor is a flagship full-size SUV combining a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, ladder-frame construction and triple differential locks with a tech-loaded cabin featuring dual 12.3-inch displays and Level 2 ADAS. Blending genuine off-road capability with premium features and bold design, the Majestor aims to redefine MG’s presence in India’s premium SUV segment.

MG’s Indian portfolio has steadily evolved from feature-led urban crossovers to more credible premium offerings, and the Majestor represents the brand’s clearest statement yet in the full-size SUV space. Positioned as its flagship internal-combustion model and effectively a spiritual successor to the MG Gloster, the Majestor aims to blend rugged hardware, modern design and technology-driven comfort into a single, imposing package.

Visually, the Majestor makes a commanding first impression. Its design language is more upright and traditional than MG’s recent SUVs, with a tall bonnet, squared-off surfaces and pronounced wheel arches giving it a distinctly muscular stance. The large grille and split headlamp layout, complemented by distinctive LED DRLs, add to its visual drama, while the connected LED tail lamps and large wheels reinforce its premium positioning. Although it shares a similar footprint and wheelbase with the Gloster, the Majestor looks visibly larger and more imposing, thanks to its chunkier proportions and more upright silhouette.

Powering the Majestor is a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, producing around 215 PS and 478 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, with both 2WD and advanced 4WD configurations available. While the output figures are familiar on paper, they remain competitive for a vehicle of this size and intent, and the focus here is clearly on torque delivery and drivability rather than outright performance figures.

Where the Majestor truly distinguishes itself is in its off-road hardware. It offers a rare triple differential lock setup—front, rear and centre—giving it the ability to maintain traction even when one or more wheels lose contact with the surface. This is complemented by multiple terrain modes, crawl control for low-speed technical terrain, generous ground clearance and a high water-wading capability. Collectively, these elements lend the Majestor genuine all-terrain credibility, moving it beyond the realm of lifestyle SUVs and into more serious off-road territory.
