Key Features and Specifications

The MG Majestor will be available in two trims: Sharp and Savvy. It will compete with established models such as the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, and Skoda Kodiaq. The SUV uses a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, sourced from the higher-spec Gloster variants. This engine delivers 215hp and 478.5Nm of torque. It is paired with an 8-speed torque-converter automatic transmission and features a four-wheel-drive (4WD) system with low-range capability.

The Majestor is equipped with three locking differentials, enhancing its off-road performance. It offers multiple driving modes, including Snow, Rock, Sand, Mud, and Normal, to adapt to various terrains. The SUV stands out with its boxy design and prominent road presence. The front features a large grille with gloss-black elements, vertically stacked LED headlights, and eyebrow-shaped LED daytime running lamps (DRLs). The front bumper includes rugged cladding and a silver skid plate, which continues around the wheel arches and along the lower doors.

Design, Interior, and Safety

The Majestor rides on 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and includes side steps for easier entry and exit. At the rear, the SUV features connected LED tail-lights with Morris Garages lettering above. The rear bumper has black cladding and dual exhaust tips, contributing to a more aggressive appearance.

Inside, the Majestor offers a black cabin with silver accents. The dashboard features a 3-spoke steering wheel and two 12.4-inch displays—one for infotainment and one for the instrument cluster. The SUV is available in both 6- and 7-seat configurations, with leatherette upholstery as standard. Additional features include a panoramic sunroof, a 12-speaker JBL Studio sound system, a powered tailgate, three-zone climate control, a 220V power outlet for rear passengers, and dual wireless phone chargers.

The driver’s seat is 12-way power adjustable with memory linked to the outside rearview mirrors, while the co-driver’s seat is 8-way power adjustable. Both front seats offer ventilation and massage functions. The cabin also features 64-colour ambient lighting.

On the safety front, the Majestor provides six airbags as standard, Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a 360-degree camera, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, hill-hold and hill-descent controls, a tyre-pressure monitoring system, and an electronic parking brake.
