MG Motor is finally set to announce pricing for the Majestor, a full-size SUV that was previously showcased earlier this year in the first week of May. Positioned as a rival to premium ladder-frame SUVs, the Majestor brings a strong focus on comfort and off-road capability. It comes equipped with features like ventilated and massage seats, three-zone climate control, and heated ORVMs, along with a spacious three-row cabin supported by a long wheelbase. On the mechanical front, the SUV is powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, with both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations on offer. Off-road features such as crawl control and a triple differential lock further enhance its capabilities, while ADAS functions add a layer of safety.

Scheduled for launch on May 22, the model is expected to be brought to India as a completely built unit (CBU). Under the hood, it features a 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with dual electric motors, producing around 181 bhp and 315 Nm. The cabin is expected to be feature-rich, with highlights such as a large touchscreen, wireless charging, heads-up display, and an electric tailgate. Advanced driver assistance systems will also be part of the package; however, the pricing is something that will play a major role in its adaptability, given that CBU models usually fight an uphill battle in value propositions.
