Fortuner rival MG Majestor spotted testing ahead of India launch: Design, specs & more

JSW MG Motor India revealed the MG Majestor SUV at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. And now, the company is getting ready to launch the new SUV in February 2026. The MG Majestor is a heavily refreshed iteration of the Gloster, but it will be positioned as a more premium offering above it.

There is currently no clarity on whether both models will coexist in the lineup. The three-row, ladder-frame SUV features a comprehensive inside-out overhaul. Ahead of its launch, the SUV has been spotted tackling off-road terrain during testing.

As per images shared by the HiFuel Kannada Instagram page, the SUV can be seen undergoing rigorous off-road testing across a variety of challenging terrains. The test vehicle is shown climbing over large rocks, clearly highlighting its suspension articulation and underbody capability, suggesting a strong focus on off-road performance.

In one of the images, the SUV is seen perched on a rock, offering a clear view of the wheel travel and ground clearance.

Additionally, the test mule features prominent ‘India’s first D-Plus SUV’ branding on its side, hinting at its positioning and segment placement.

The SUV is partially camouflaged, allowing several design elements to be visible despite the covering. However, there do not appear to be any noticeable changes compared to the version that was first showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo, suggesting the design has largely been finalised ahead of its launch.

In terms of design, the SUV features a large and imposing grille, along with sleek headlights positioned on the bumper and complemented by LED DRLs.

The side profile highlights its premium stance with 19-inch alloy wheels, while the rear is marked by new connected LED tail-lights and a more sophisticated bumper design, giving the SUV a refreshed and modern appearance.

The interior details haven't been revealed yet, but it’s expected to get dual-tone upholstery and a fully digital instrument cluster, a larger free-standing infotainment system, a wireless charger, a panoramic sunroof, a Level 2 ADAS suite, automatic three-zone climate control, powered, ventilated, heated front seats, LED headlights, fog lamps, LED taillights and more.Mechanically, the MG Majestor is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, producing 163 hp and 375 Nm in the 4x2 variant, while the 4x4 version is likely to offer higher outputs of 218 hp and 480 Nm. The SUV is also expected to feature differential locks, along with dedicated switches to toggle between 2WD, 4WD, and a low-range 4WD mode.Image Source: Hi-Fuel Kannada/Instagram
