For years, the Toyota Fortuner has ruled the Indian full-size SUV segment without facing a real challenger. But that undisputed monopoly is finally coming to an end. MG (Morris Garages) has officially opened pre-bookings for its flagship SUV, the MG Majestor, and the specs are making buyers rethink their ₹40-Lakh plans.
With aggressive styling, segment-first luxury features, and a powerful diesel heart, the MG Majestor is designed to dominate. If you are planning to buy a premium 7-seater SUV this year, here is why you might want to cancel your current booking and wait for this massive machine.

Bigger Than the Fortuner: The Ultimate Road Presence-MG Majestor SUV
In India, a full-size SUV is all about road presence and the “mafia” look. The MG Majestor absolutely crushes the competition when it comes to sheer size.
Measuring 5,046 mm in length, 2,016 mm in width, and 1,876 mm in height, it is significantly larger than the Toyota Fortuner. Its boxy silhouette, massive vertical chrome grille, and imposing 19-inch alloy wheels guarantee that traffic will make way for you. Thanks to a massive 2,950 mm wheelbase, the Majestor finally solves the biggest complaint of SUV owners: it offers actual, usable space in the third row.

A Powerful Diesel Heart: Built for Highway Cruising
Understanding that Indian buyers prefer diesel engines for large SUVs, MG is bringing the Majestor with a single, highly capable powertrain.
Under the hood sits a massive 2.0-litre twin-turbocharged diesel engine. This powerhouse generates an impressive 215 PS of maximum power and a staggering 478 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated exclusively to an 8-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery whether you are cruising on the expressway or stuck in city traffic.
True 4×4 Off-Roading Capabilities
Do not let the premium looks fool you; the Majestor is a hardcore off-roader at its core.
The top-spec ‘Savvy’ variant comes equipped with a proper four-wheel-drive (4WD) system. It features a segment-first Triple Differential Lock (front, center, and rear) and offers 10 distinct Terrain Modes including Snow, Mud, Sand, and Rock. With an impressive water-wading capacity of 810 mm, this SUV can comfortably handle flooded monsoon streets and extreme mountain trails alike.

Luxury Features the Fortuner Completely Misses
Where the Majestor truly leaves the Fortuner behind is inside the cabin. MG has packed this SUV with technology and luxury that you usually find in cars costing twice as much:
- Level-2 ADAS: Standard safety features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane-Keep Assist.
- Massive Displays: The dashboard features a seamless 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster.
- Premium Comfort: It boasts a panoramic sunroof, 3-zone climate control, a 12-speaker premium audio system, and ventilated front seats with massage functions.
