MG Majestor D+ SUV debuts as India’s first D+ ladder-frame SUV – longest at 5,046mm, 216PS twin-turbo diesel, 3 variants, 4×4, April 2026 launch. Pre-book now!
The MG Majestor D+ SUV has finally stepped into the spotlight, promising to shake up India’s premium SUV market with its massive size and brute power. As a proud Indian car lover from Pune, I’ve been tracking MG’s moves closely, and this beast feels like the desi answer to those endless Fortuner cravings – but bigger, bolder, and packed with tech.
Majestor Debut: What Makes It India’s First D+ SUV
JSW MG Motor unveiled the production-ready MG Majestor D+ SUV, positioning it as the nation’s pioneering D+ segment ladder-frame offering. This giant measures 5,046mm long, 2,016mm wide, and 1,876mm tall with a 2,950mm wheelbase – officially the longest, widest, and tallest in its class, outpacing rivals like the Toyota Fortuner. Pre-bookings kicked off at just ₹41,000, with the launch set for April 2026 and deliveries from May – snag exclusive perks like a 5-year unlimited km warranty and ICICI Bank Emeralde card invites if you reserve early.
Think of it as MG’s bold play to dominate full-size SUVs. Unlike regular D-segment players, Majestor targets folks wanting extra space for family road trips from Mumbai to Goa or rugged treks in the Sahyadris. Its 246mm ground clearance and 810mm wading depth scream adventure-ready, perfect for our monsoon-muddied roads.
Striking Design: Road Presence That Turns Heads
The MG Majestor D+ SUV boasts a design that’s pure drama – a massive “Majestic Matrix Combination Grille” upfront, flanked by falcon-eye LED DRLs and stacked headlamps that scream premium. Sides flaunt strong shoulder lines, 19-inch alloys, and that upright stance for commanding views, while the rear’s connected LEDs and twin exhausts add muscle.
Available in four shades: Metal Black, Pearl White, Concrete Grey, Metal Ash, it evolves the Gloster’s look with sharper edges. In three variants – Sharp 4×2, Savvy 4×2, Savvy 4×4 – plus 6/7-seater options, it’s versatile for urban hustles or highway hauls. Cargo? 343L with all seats up, expanding to 1,350L – load up the bikes and camping gear without a sweat. As someone who’s chased specs for years, this design nails that “bhai-behen wala” appeal – tough yet classy for Indian streets.
Luxe Interior: Features That Spoil You Silly
Step inside the MG Majestor D+ SUV, and it’s a tech haven: powered/ventilated seats front and rear, multi-zone AC, twin wireless chargers, JBL 12-speaker system, and a massive panoramic Galaxy Roof. 12-way powered driver’s seat, 64-colour ambient lighting, digital Bluetooth key, and powered tailgate make daily drives feel luxurious.
Expect a fully digital cockpit with large screens and Level 2 ADAS for safer cruises. Over 30 safety features include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise, and 360-camera – crucial for Pune’s chaotic traffic. Compared to Gloster, Majestor ups the ante with premium touches like massaging seats and a floating infotainment screen. It’s like upgrading from a Maruti to a Mercedes – comfy for long hauls to Lonavala.
Powertrain Punch: Twin-Turbo Diesel Dominance
Under the hood, the MG Majestor D+ SUV packs a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel belting 216PS and 500Nm, mated to an 8-speed auto. Choose 2WD or 4WD with segment-first triple locking diffs (front, rear, center), 10 off-road modes, and M-Crawl for low-speed crawls.
Auto-switching between 2H/4H means seamless on-the-fly capability – tackle Uttarakhand trails or Kerala backroads effortlessly. Mileage? Expect 12-14kmpl highway, efficient for a beast this size. No petrol yet, but this diesel howls louder than Fortuner’s 2.8L in torque wars. For us Indians who love diesel torque for overtakes, Majestor delivers without compromise.

Majestor vs Rivals: Why It Wins the Size Battle
MG Majestor D+ SUV towers over Toyota Fortuner (4,790mm long) with superior space and power. Here’s the showdown:
| Feature | MG Majestor D+ SUV | Toyota Fortuner |
| Length | 5,046mm | 4,790mm |

| Price (top) | ₹55 lakh (est.) | ₹50-53 lakh |
Vs Gloster? Majestor is larger, plusher, with exclusive D+ positioning – both coexist, but Majestor aims higher. Fortuner’s resale edge? Majestor counters with warranties and tech. For Indian families, Majestor’s space wins road trips.
Off-Road Prowess: Built for Desi Adventures
The MG Majestor D+ SUV’s M-Hub suite shines here – triple locking differentials are a segment first, letting you conquer sand, mud, or rocks. 10 modes tailor to terrains like Rajasthan dunes or Himachal snow, with auto 4×4 shifts.
Paired with high wading depth, it’s monsoon-proof. Test drives will prove it outperforms Fortuner in diffs, though Toyota’s reliability is legendary. As an SEO guy who’s rewritten bike reviews, I see Majestor pulling adventure bikers into SUVs.
Pricing and Booking: Smart Buy in Pune
Expected ex-showroom: ₹40-55 lakh, on-road Pune around ₹47-59 lakh. Pre-book for ₹41,000 to lock 5-year perks – no-brainer amid rising demand. Colors and configs suit every taste.
In a market ruled by Fortuner (50k+ sales yearly), Majestor’s value – more power, space, tech for similar coin – could flip scripts. MG’s JSW backing adds trust; they’ve nailed EVs, now diesels.
