KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Majestor focuses on modern tech, comfort and driver assistance, where the Fortuner feels traditional
- Adds both luxury features and serious off-road hardware in one package
For over a decade, the Toyota Fortuner has enjoyed a rare luxury in the Indian market, dominance without real competition. Buyers who wanted a big, imposing SUV simply chose the Fortuner and moved on. But the market has changed. Today's Rs 40-50 lakh customer doesn't just want size and reliability; they want screens, comfort, technology and a sense of occasion every time they step inside. Just then, MG launched their Majestor a few days back, loaded with a ton of features, more than the Fortuner. Without delay, let's get into the details. Which features does Majestor offer over the Fortuner? However, before going further, make sure to join the 91Wheels WhatsApp community to never miss out on any automotive updates.

12.3-inch infotainment with wireless connectivity
The large display isn't just about size; it supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, meaning no cables every time you step in. On the other hand, Fortuner just offers wired connectivity. The bigger interface also improves navigation visibility and camera clarity, making daily usage easier.
Panoramic sunroof
Unlike the smaller conventional sunroof setups, the panoramic unit stretches across most of the roof, making the cabin feel significantly airier, especially for second-row passengers. It adds to the luxury feel rather than just being a cosmetic feature. However, the Toyota Fortuner misses out on even a single-pane sunroof.
Three-zone climate control
Instead of a single or dual climate control setup, the SUV allows the driver, front passenger and rear passengers to set their own temperatures independently. This is particularly useful in Indian summers, where rear passengers often feel warmer in large SUVs. While the Fortuner has dual-zone climate control for added convenience.
Level-2 ADAS
It combines adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and collision avoidance systems. On highways, the car can maintain distance from vehicles ahead, stay centred in the lane and even brake automatically if a sudden obstacle appears, reducing fatigue on long drives.
Triple differential lock
Unlike standard 4x4 systems that distribute power automatically, differential locks mechanically ensure power reaches wheels with traction. With front, centre and rear locks, the Majestor can crawl through sand, slush or rocks even if multiple wheels lose grip, a feature usually seen in hardcore off-roaders.

Verdict
The Toyota Fortuner still holds its ground with brand trust, proven reliability and resale value. But the MG Majestor changes the buying logic of the segment; it doesn't try to beat the Fortuner at being rugged, it tries to be more complete. With bigger screens, ADAS safety, superior rear comfort and even advanced off-road tech, the Majestor appeals to buyers who want a flagship family SUV rather than just a tough one. In simple terms, the Fortuner remains the safe choice, while the Majestor becomes the smarter, feature-rich alternative.
