Yes, you guessed it correctly, it is the MG Majestor. For years now, the Toyota Fortuner has been the undisputed king of the full-size SUVs swatting away every opponent that dared to steal its crown. One such challenger in the same segment was MG’s Gloster but it failed to dethrone Fortuner from its top position. Now there is a new warrior on the field of battle—the MG Majestor. Unveiled at Auto Expo 2025, this behemoth of a 7-seater SUV is bigger, bolder, and offers a ton of advanced tech. The Majestor is MG’s most concerted attempt yet at dethroning the Fortuner and comes packed with a powerful twin-turbo diesel engine, upmarket interiors, and plenty of ADAS features. A 360-degree camera and several airbags elevate its attraction. The Majestor is confidently encroaching on the Fortuner's territory, with a price tag of around Rs. 46 lakh projected. But does it have the means to change the SUV chain of command? Let’s find out!

 What's Fresh: MG Majestor

​​​MG Motor has unveiled the MG Majestor, its latest full-size SUV, at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. The MG Maestro is aimed at the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and, as such, comes with a proper workhorse of a design – there's a grille and vertically stacked LED headlights, as well as a commanding road presence. The engine is a 2.0-liter twin-turbo diesel that makes around 213 bhp and 478 Nm of torque mated to an 8-speed automatic. In terms of features, the Majestor comes equipped with premium stuff such as a large touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and advanced ADAS safety technology. Price is anticipated to be around Rs. 40-45 lakh (ex-showroom) and offers stiff competition in the premium 7-seater SUV segment as a perfect mix of luxury, power, and modern tech.

Based on the internationally available Maxus D90, the Majestor flaunts an imposing design, with a large grille, vertically stacked headlamps upfront, and a connected tail lamp setup at the rear. The first one, the Majestor runs or is fitted with a range of high-tech amenities which are an upgrade to comfort and luxury offered to the passengers. The remodeled dashboard features a bigger central touchscreen infotainment system that gives easier access to functions. Second-row captain chairs provide the necessary space and comfort for passengers, and a panoramic sunroof will complete the feel of the cabin.

Powertrain options come from MG as well, so the Majestor will likely share its powertrains with the MG Gloster, which includes a 2.0-liter twin-turbo diesel motor making 215.5 PS and 478.5 Nm of twist paired with a 4X4 and an 8-speed automatic gearbox. In terms of dimensions, the Majestor measures 5,005mm long, 1,932mm wide, and 1,875mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,950mm. These generous proportions turn into an expansive interior, comfortably fitting all seven travelers. The ground clearance is 210mm, and the wading capacity allows it to tackle a variety of conditions.

In India, MG Motor will slot the Majestor above the existing Gloster, thus providing buyers with more options in the full-size SUV space. 

Final Words 

The MG Majestor is MG Motor’s most ambitious attempt to rival the Toyota Fortuner in the full-size SUV segment. Unveiled at Auto Expo 2025, this 7-seater SUV, based on the Maxus D90, boasts a rugged design with a striking grille, vertically stacked LED headlamps, and a connected tail lamp setup. Other notable features include a premium cabin with a larger touchscreen infotainment system, captain seats, and a panoramic sunroof. With the Gloster still on sale from MG, the Majestor goes on to fill a spot as a new alternative since the Gloster's exit, mixing power, luxury , and modern tech into one offering.
