MG is all set to strengthen its premium SUV portfolio in India with the upcoming MG Majestor, a new flagship SUV expected to launch soon. Ahead of its India debut, MG has introduced a closely related model called the Rakan 4×4 in Kuwait, giving a clear preview of what the Majestor will offer in terms of design, features and performance.
Positioned above the MG Gloster, the Majestor will target buyers looking for a full-size luxury SUV with strong road presence, advanced features and powerful diesel performance. Here is a detailed look at everything we know so far about the MG Majestor in India.
MG Majestor exterior design: Bigger, bolder and more premium
The MG Majestor is essentially a heavily updated version of the Gloster, but with a more premium and aggressive design language.
At the front, the SUV is expected to feature:
Slim LED DRLs placed higher up
A large rectangular grille with a gloss black finish
A muscular bumper with silver skid plate elements
A wider and more upright stance for stronger road presence
In side profile, the Majestor will largely retain the Gloster’s silhouette but with new dual-tone alloy wheels and prominent body cladding for a rugged SUV look.
At the rear, key highlights likely include:
Connected LED tail-lamps
Reworked rear bumper
Silver skid plate accents
Chunky proportions typical of full-size SUVs
Overall, the MG Majestor aims to look more premium and imposing than the Gloster, appealing to buyers who want a Fortuner-rivaling road presence.
MG Majestor interior and features: Luxury-focused cabin
The Majestor is expected to offer a feature-rich and premium interior similar to the Kuwait-spec Rakan 4×4.
Expected interior highlights include:
Dual-tone brown and white cabin theme
12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Fully digital driver display
Powered front seats with massage function
Multi-zone climate control
12-speaker JBL sound system
Leatherette upholstery
Rear AC vents and USB charging ports
One major practicality highlight is boot space. With the second and third rows folded, luggage capacity could go up to around 2,400 litres, making it ideal for long family trips.
MG is likely to position the Majestor as a tech-loaded luxury SUV, focusing on comfort and premium experience.
MG Majestor engine and performance
Globally, the Rakan 4×4 uses a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 250 hp and 500 Nm with an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox and AWD.
However, for India, the MG Majestor is more likely to use the familiar Gloster-sourced 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine.
Expected India-spec figures:
215 hp power
478 Nm torque
8-speed automatic transmission
All-wheel-drive system
Multiple terrain modes
This setup already has a strong reputation in the Gloster for highway cruising and off-road capability, and it should suit the Majestor well.
MG Majestor expected price in India
The MG Majestor is expected to be priced between ₹40 lakh and ₹45 lakh ex-showroom, placing it slightly above the Gloster in MG’s lineup.
For reference, the MG Gloster currently ranges from about ₹38 lakh to ₹43 lakh ex-showroom.
At this price point, the Majestor will directly compete with:
Toyota Fortuner
Skoda Kodiaq
Jeep Meridian
Volkswagen Tayron
Among these, the Fortuner will remain its biggest rival in terms of brand value and resale, while the Majestor will try to win on features and comfort.
MG Majestor positioning in India
With the Majestor, MG is clearly targeting the premium full-size SUV buyer who wants:
Bold design
Diesel power
Luxury features
Advanced tech
Strong road presence
It will act as MG India’s flagship SUV and sit above the Gloster rather than replacing it. This gives MG a wider spread in the premium SUV segment.
If MG prices it aggressively and loads it with features, the Majestor could become a serious alternative to the Fortuner for buyers who want something different and more feature-packed.
For Indian SUV buyers in 2026, the MG Majestor could be one of the most interesting new launches to watch.
