MG Majestor 2026: Price, Specs, Features and How It Takes On the Toyota Fortuner
MG Majestor just handed the Toyota Fortuner its most serious challenger in years. The Majestor, JSW MG Motor India’s new flagship SUV, has officially launched at Rs 40.99 lakh, and it isn’t arriving quietly — MG is calling it India’s first “D+ SUV,” a size class of its own above the regular full-size SUV segment.
At over five metres long with a segment-leading 2,950mm wheelbase, triple differential locks, and a cabin stuffed with tech usually reserved for luxury SUVs, the Majestor is making a very direct case against the Fortuner, Kodiaq, Tayron and Meridian. Here’s everything worth knowing before you decide where it fits into your shortlist.

Bookings are already open, with a refundable token of Rs 41,000 payable online through MG’s official website or at authorised dealerships. On-road pricing in Delhi for the top variant works out to roughly Rs 48.4 lakh once RTO charges and insurance are added.
Engine, Performance and Off-Road Ability
The Majestor carries over the Gloster’s proven 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, retuned slightly to 215.5 PS and 478.5 Nm of torque, and it’s offered exclusively with an 8-speed automatic gearbox — there’s no manual option.
- Drivetrain: Available in both 4×2 and on-demand 4×4 configurations
- Differential locks: Front, rear and centre — a segment-first triple-lock setup for serious off-roading
- Crawl Control: Automated low-speed off-road mode that manages throttle and braking over difficult terrain
- Underpinnings: Retains the Gloster’s proven body-on-frame ladder chassis
Design, Space and Cabin Features
The Majestor’s styling is a significant step up in aggression over the Gloster it’s positioned above — a bold “MORRIS GARAGES” lettering strip, split LED headlamps with slim daytime running lights, and a much larger front grille give it serious road presence. At over 5 metres in length, it’s the largest SUV in its segment.
- Dual 12.3-inch displays for infotainment and the digital instrument cluster
- Panoramic sunroof and 64-colour customisable ambient lighting
- Three-zone climate control
- 12-speaker JBL premium sound system
- Massage function front seats
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Level 2 ADAS — adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking and blind-spot detection
Buyers can choose between a 6-seat layout with second-row captain chairs for a more premium, lounge-like feel, or a conventional 7-seat configuration for maximum practicality — both offered across the four available colour options.
Does this replace the Gloster? Not exactly. MG has positioned the Majestor as a more premium, more rugged flagship sitting above the Gloster, and has indicated the Gloster will continue to be sold alongside it rather than being phased out.
MG Majestor vs Its Rivals: Where the Price Actually Lands
| Model | Base variant price | Top variant price |
|---|---|---|
| MG Majestor | Rs 40.99 lakh (4×2 AT) | Rs 44.99 lakh (4×4 AT) |
| Toyota Fortuner | Rs 37.61 lakh (4×2 diesel AT) | Rs 50.46 lakh (GR-S) |
| Skoda Kodiaq | Rs 36.99 lakh | ~Rs 47 lakh |
| VW Tayron R-Line | ~Rs 47 lakh (single variant) | |
| Jeep Meridian | Rs 33.75 lakh (4×2 diesel AT) | Rs 37.82 lakh (4×4 diesel AT) |
The pattern that emerges: the Majestor isn’t the cheapest way into this segment at entry level, but its fully-loaded 4×4 variant actually undercuts the equivalent Fortuner Legender and GR-S by a meaningful margin, while packing in more standard equipment than either.
What works
- Genuinely feature-loaded for the segment — sunroof, massage seats, ADAS as standard on the launch trim
- Serious off-road hardware with triple diff locks and Crawl Control
- Undercuts the top-spec Fortuner by several lakh rupees
- Largest footprint and wheelbase in its class
What to watch
- No petrol or manual option — diesel automatic only
- Entry-level Sharp trim pricing isn’t out yet, so budget buyers can’t compare fully
- MG’s resale values and after-sales network still trail Toyota’s in this segment
- Base price is still higher than the Meridian and base Kodiaq
Abtadka Auto verdict
The Majestor is the most convincing case MG has made yet for buyers who want Fortuner-rivalling size and capability without the Fortuner-rivalling price at the top end. If you’re shopping fully-loaded, it’s genuinely worth a test drive before you sign for a Legender. If you’re budget-conscious and want the segment’s lowest entry price, the Meridian and base Kodiaq still undercut it.
