The MG Majestor has been spotted undergoing final-stage road testing in India, indicating that the new flagship SUV is nearing its market debut. Recent test mules appear close to production specification, with finished body panels, production-ready lighting elements and minimal camouflage visible.

The MG Majestor is set to be positioned above the Gloster in the brand's India line-up and is expected to become MG's range-topping three-row SUV. The MG Majestor was first shown at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo, where it was previewed as a premium offering aimed at the full-size SUV segment.

The latest spy images reveal a large, upright stance with squared-off proportions. The SUV features a wide grille, vertically stacked LED lighting signatures and prominent wheel arches. Alloy wheels seen on the test vehicle appear to be production units, suggesting the SUV is in the final phase of validation testing ahead of launch.

The Majestor is expected to sit on a body-on-frame platform, similar to the Gloster, and will be offered with a three-row seating layout. While interior details remain under wraps, the production version is expected to feature a large touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster and a comprehensive suite of connected car and safety features.

Powertrain options for the MG Majestor are expected to mirror those of the Gloster. The SUV is likely to be powered by a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. A four-wheel-drive system is also expected to be offered on select variants, in line with its flagship positioning.

Testing activity over recent weeks suggests MG is finalising ride comfort, handling and drivetrain calibration for Indian road conditions. The Majestor is expected to be launched in early 2026, with pricing likely to sit above the Gloster in MG's SUV portfolio.
