Much-Anticipated MG Majestor Unveiled In India, Here’s Everything You Need To Know

After the new Skoda Kodiaq last year, and the newly revealed Volkswagen Tayron R-Line, the full-size SUV segment gets another compelling option, the MG Majestor. The Majestor is essentially a significantly upgraded MG Gloster, featuring a new design, an updated interior, as well as some more premium features. Bookings are already open for the SUV, with deliveries set to begin from May.

So if you were looking for a full-size SUV with imposing road presence and a comfortable cabin, then the Majestor could be for you. Read on as we have covered all of its details in this report:

Exterior

Front

Where the MG Gloster leans more towards elegance and a subtle charm, the MG Majestor adopts a far more rugged, tough, and dominating design language.

• Up front, the Majestor features a completely redesigned fascia with a massive gloss-black grille that instantly enhances its road presence.

• The SUV gets a split headlamp setup, with slim LED DRLs positioned higher up and the main LED headlamps integrated into the bumper.

• Adding to its tough SUV appeal is a chunky front skid plate finished in satin silver, along with front parking sensors neatly integrated into the bumper.

• Overall, it gives the impression of looking angry as it stares at you. 

• MG is offering four colours with the Majestor: Pearl White, Metal Black, Metal Ash and Concrete Grey.

Side

• From the side, the Majestor’s silhouette closely resembles the Gloster. However, it appears to be longer than the Gloster.

• A strong shoulder line typical of full-size SUVs runs across the length of the SUV, and you also get chunky body cladding and wheel arches. 

• Its large proportions and boxy stance make its size immediately evident on the road.

• The SUV rides on new 19-inch alloy wheels, which fill the wheel arches well and enhance its muscular appeal.

• MG has replaced the chrome bits of the Gloster with gloss black finishes in most places. 

Rear

At the rear, the MG Majestor moves away from the Gloster’s understated design and adopts a sleeker yet more aggressive look.

• The highlight here is the new connected LED taillight setup, housed on a redesigned, flatter tailgate for a more contemporary appearance.

• The rear bumper features thick cladding, a chunky skid plate, and vertical reflectors, adding to the SUV’s imposing stance.

• Twin exhaust outlets further enhance the look and also add a hint of sportiness. 

• Completing the look is the large ‘MAJESTOR’ badging on the tailgate, ensuring it stands out on Indian roads.
