MG Majestor launch next week: Five things about Fortuner’s rival!

MG Motor India is all set to launch the new MG Majestor SUV next week, i.e, April 20, 2026. The SUV was first showcased at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo and is essentially a heavily updated version of the Gloster. The MG Majestor is a more premium offering above the Gloster, retaining the same platform but adding several updates to differentiate it. The SUV features revisions to its design, new features and improved off-road hardware, aimed at creating a clearer separation from the existing model. The changes position the Majestor higher in the company’s line-up, targeting buyers seeking a more premium, capable full-size SUV with enhanced off-road capability.
