MG Majestor: What To Expect When The Price Drops On April 27th
MG has confirmed that the Majestor’s price will be announced on April 27, 2026. The Majestor is the Gloster’s replacement and MG’s new flagship ICE SUV. It will be offered in two trims at launch: Sharp and Savvy. The expected price range is Rs 35 lakh to Rs 45 lakh ex-showroom, which places it directly against the Toyota Fortuner, Volkswagen Tayron R-Line and Skoda Kodiaq.
Knowing where that price lands will matter. The Fortuner sits at Rs 35.4 lakh for the base 2WD diesel trim. The Kodiaq runs from Rs 39.99 lakh to Rs 45.96 lakh but does not offer a diesel engine. The petrol-only Volkswagen Tayron R-Line is even pricier, and starts from Rs. 46.99 lakh.
The Majestor is a diesel-only product entering a segment where the Kodiaq and Tayron R-Line are petrol-only, and the Fortuner has now added a mild-hybrid system. That means MG is entering with a clearer mechanical identity than some of its rivals. For buyers who still want a large diesel SUV with long-distance touring ability, towing strength, and 4WD hardware, that matters.
The Majestor uses the same 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel that powered the higher-spec Gloster variants. Output is 215 PS and 478.5Nm, mated to an 8-speed torque-converter automatic.
The base trim is rear wheel driven while the top trims will get a four-wheel-drive setup with low range and three locking differentials. Five terrain modes are available: Normal, Snow, Rock, Sand, and Mud.
Those numbers put the Majestor in a strong position on paper. The Fortuner’s updated 2.8-litre diesel makes 204PS and 500Nm. Against the Fortuner, it has an 11PS advantage, though the Toyota still edges it on torque by 21.5Nm. That makes the MG one of the more serious entries in this segment if straight-line performance, highway reserve power, and load-carrying ability are part of the buying decision.
The transmission choice also matters. A torque-converter automatic is still preferred by many large-SUV buyers because it generally delivers smoother low-speed behaviour than dual-clutch setups in heavy traffic and off-road sections. Combined with low-range 4WD, the Majestor is clearly being positioned as more than just a feature-heavy urban SUV.
Inside, the Majestor gets dual 12.4-inch screens, one for the instrument cluster and one for infotainment, a panoramic sunroof, 3-zone climate control, a 12-speaker JBL Studio sound system, a powered tailgate, a 220V power outlet at the rear, and dual wireless chargers. The driver’s seat is 12-way powered with memory linked to the ORVMs. The co-driver’s seat is 8-way powered. Both front seats get ventilation and massage functions.
The feature count is important because this is one area where MG can attack the segment hard. A 6-seat and 7-seat layout gives it broader appeal, especially for families comparing it with more traditional ladder-frame SUVs. The inclusion of massage seats, dual wireless charging, and a rear power outlet shows that MG is trying to pitch the Majestor as a premium family cruiser rather than just a rugged diesel SUV.
The exterior carries vertically stacked LED headlights, a large gloss-black grille, 19-inch dual-tone alloys, and side steps on both sides. Connected LED tail-lights at the rear carry the Morris Garages lettering above. On safety, the Majestor gets 6 airbags as standard, Level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, hill-hold and hill-descent controls, TPMS, and an auto-dimming IRVM.
The Gloster’s top-spec variant was priced at Rs 46.24 lakh before the Majestor’s arrival, which gives a useful reference point. If MG keeps the Majestor's top trim close to Rs 45 lakh, it creates a meaningful gap versus the Fortuner Legender while undercutting the top end of the Kodiaq range. Even a Rs 2 lakh to Rs 4 lakh advantage can become a strong talking point in this segment when combined with 4WD, diesel power, and a long equipment list.
If the Majestor enters near Rs 44 lakh to Rs 45 lakh, the question changes. At that point, MG will be asking buyers to choose a less established badge in this segment over rivals with stronger resale reputation or broader market familiarity. That makes the launch price more important than usual. On hardware and equipment, the Majestor looks competitive. On market perception, MG still has work to do. April 27th will show whether the company has chosen to play aggressively or conservatively.
