MG Majestor Launch Date Set for 12 February: Meet the New MG Majestor Flagship SUV
The Indian automotive market is preparing for the arrival of a new heavyweight in the full-size SUV segment. JSW MG Motor India has officially confirmed that the MG Majestor will be launched on February 12, 2026. Positioned as the brand’s new flagship, the Majestor is essentially an upgraded and more premium version of the current MG Gloster.
First showcased at the Auto Expo 2025, the Majestor has been one of the most anticipated launches for the brand, frequently spotted testing on Indian roads over the past year. This new model is set to redefine luxury and presence for MG in India, sitting comfortably above the existing Gloster in the lineup.
Bold Exterior Design and Aggressive Stance
The MG Majestor draws heavy inspiration from the Maxus D90 SUV, which is sold in international markets like Saudi Arabia and China. It features a significantly more aggressive design language compared to the current Gloster.
- Front Fascia: The SUV is dominated by a massive front grille featuring gloss-black elements.
- Lighting: It incorporates vertically stacked LED headlights flanked by sleek, eyebrow-shaped LED daytime running lamps (DRLs).
- Rugged Elements: The front bumper includes rugged black cladding with central silver elements to emphasize a “go-anywhere” aesthetic.
- Profile and Rear: The side profile is highlighted by dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels. The rear features connected LED tail-lights and a black bumper with faux silver skid plates and twin exhaust outlets.
Interior Luxury and Premium Features
While the exterior is rugged, the interior focuses on high-end comfort. Spy shots indicate that the cabin design will closely mirror the Maxus D90, offering a more modern layout than the current 3-row Gloster.
The Majestor is expected to build upon the already extensive feature list of the Gloster, which includes:
- A panoramic sunroof.
- 3-zone automatic climate control.
- A 12-speaker premium sound system.
- Heated and powered front seats, with a massage function for the driver.
- A powered tailgate and wireless phone charging.
Given its positioning above the Gloster, the Majestor is likely to introduce even more advanced technology and higher-quality materials throughout the cabin.
Powertrain and Performance Specifications
Under the hood, the MG Majestor is expected to retain the powerful heart of the Gloster. It will likely utilize the 2-litre twin-turbo diesel engine.
- Power Output: The engine produces 216hp and 479Nm of torque.
- Transmission: This unit is expected to be mated to an 8-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox.
- Drivetrain: Power will be sent to all four wheels through a 4WD system, maintaining its capabilities as a full-size off-roader.
In international markets, the same engine in the Maxus D90 is tuned to produce an enhanced 500Nm of torque, suggesting there may be room for slight performance variations in the Indian spec.
Market Competition and Expected Pricing
The MG Majestor will enter a highly competitive segment of full-size premium SUVs. Its primary rivals will include the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, and Skoda Kodiaq.
In terms of pricing, the Majestor will command a premium over the current MG Gloster. For reference, the existing Gloster is priced between ₹38.33 lakh and ₹42.49 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Prospective buyers should expect the Majestor to sit at the top of the price bracket for MG’s internal combustion engine vehicles in the country.
