MG Motor India is gearing up to launch its latest flagship SUV, the Majestor, which will hit showrooms by May 2025. Positioned above the Gloster, the Majestor will rival the mighty Toyota Fortuner in the premium SUV segment. Expected to have a starting price of around Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom). The Majestor promises luxury, advanced technology and impressive performance.

The Toyota Fortuner is a popular SUV in the Indian market, known for its robust build and reliable performance. Priced between Rs 33.43 lakh and Rs 51.44 lakh (ex-showroom), it gets a 2.8L diesel engine with 204 hp, seven airbags, an 8-inch infotainment system and a JBL audio package. However, it lacks some advanced features that are fast becoming standard in this segment. Let’s take a look:
Advanced Driver Assistance Safety
The Majestor is expected to feature Level 2 ADAS, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking. In contrast, the Fortuner offers more basic safety without these advanced features.
Panoramic Sunroof
To improve the cabin ambiance, the Magester is expected to feature a panoramic sunroof, which will create a more open and airy feel. In contrast, this desirable feature is not available in the Fortuner, which is increasingly in demand in the premium SUV market.
Larger infotainment system
The Magester features a 12.3-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, which is larger than the Fortuner’s 8-inch unit and offers a more enhanced user experience.
MG Magester 360-degree camera
To improve handling in urban areas, the Magester features a 360-degree camera system for a complete view around the vehicle, simplifying parking and low-speed navigation. In contrast, the Fortuner does not have this feature and instead uses the standard rear-view system.
Advanced comfort features
The Magester is expected to have ventilated and massaging front seats, three-zone climate control and wireless charging features that enhance passenger comfort and convenience. In contrast, the Fortuner features ventilated front seats and dual-zone climate control, but does not include features such as seat massage function and wireless charging.

The Magester is expected to be priced between Rs 40 and 45 lakh, which will put it in a position to compete with benchmark vehicles such as the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq. Its blend of luxury, technology and performance is said to set new benchmarks in the full-size SUV segment.
