MG Motor India’s next big release, the Majestor, has been spotted undergoing its final round of testing ahead of its official launch, expected in February 2026. The SUV will sit above the Gloster in MG’s portfolio, serving as the brand’s new flagship offering. Recent spy shots reveal a nearly production-ready vehicle, indicating that the company is in the final stretch of development.
With its road-ready dimensions and premium design elements, the Majestor is shaping up to be a strong contender in India’s full-size SUV segment.
Design
Despite being under camouflage, the MG Majestor’s visual presence is hard to miss. It features a bold front end, highlighted by a large upright grille and slim LED daytime running lights. Below these sit vertically stacked headlamps that add to its upright and commanding look.
Along the sides, the SUV sports chunky alloy wheels, pronounced wheel arch cladding, and functional side steps. Roof rails complete the look, further emphasizing its rugged nature. At the rear, the Majestor gets connected LED tail-lamps and a wide, flat tailgate. These elements not only enhance the SUV’s visual width but also position it as a more premium, sophisticated offering compared to the MG Gloster.
Positioning
The Majestor will be positioned above the Gloster, which is currently MG’s most expensive SUV in India. With the new model, MG aims to push further into the premium SUV territory. This move reflects the growing demand for larger, feature-packed SUVs in the country.
While the Gloster competes with models like the Toyota Fortuner and Skoda Kodiaq, the Majestor is expected to go a notch higher, potentially rivalling international offerings from brands like Jeep or Volkswagen, depending on its final feature list and pricing.
Engine
Under the hood, the Majestor is expected to share the same ladder-frame chassis as the Gloster. Power is likely to come from MG’s proven 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, delivering around 213 bhp and 478 Nm of torque. This engine will most likely be paired with an automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system.
While MG hasn’t confirmed the final specifications, retaining this powertrain setup would make sense given its strong performance credentials and MG’s existing manufacturing setup in India.
Interior
Though the cabin hasn’t been revealed in spy images, being a flagship model, the Majestor is expected to offer a more premium interior than the Gloster. This could include a larger touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, premium upholstery, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, and enhanced sound insulation.
More details are expected to emerge closer to the launch, but it’s safe to assume MG will pack the Majestor with tech and features to match its top-tier position.
Launch
MG has confirmed that pricing for the Majestor will be announced in February 2026. With testing nearly complete and a near-production mule already on the road, the brand appears to be on track for a launch around that time.
This timeline also aligns with the Auto Expo season, which could provide a suitable platform for the model’s official debut in India.
Competition
In terms of positioning and features, the MG Majestor will compete with high-end models in the full-size SUV segment. Depending on pricing and variant offerings, it may rival the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (expected relaunch), Jeep Meridian top variants, and possibly some versions of the Skoda Kodiaq or Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.
Its success will depend heavily on how MG balances pricing with features and brand value – particularly in a segment where badge strength plays a significant role.
