MG Majestor Production Begins Ahead Of India Launch - The Fortuner's Newest Rival Is Almost Here

JSW MG Motor India has commenced production of the Majestor SUV at its Halol manufacturing facility in Gujarat. The Majestor is set to replace the Gloster as MG's flagship combustion-powered offering in India, slotting into the premium body-on-frame SUV segment.

Pre-bookings for the MG Majestor are open at Rs 41,000, with the SUV expected to be priced between ₹40 lakh and ₹45 lakh (ex-showroom). The Majestor SUV will be offered in two trims - Sharp and Savvy - and will go up against the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq.

Under the hood, the MG Majestor sports a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine sourced from the higher-spec Gloster variants, producing 215hp and 478.5Nm of torque. Drive goes through an 8-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox to either a 2WD setup or a 4WD system featuring low-range capability and three locking differentials. Terrain modes for the MG Majestor 4WD include Snow, Rock, Sand, Mud and Normal.
