The MG MAJESTOR 4x4 Automatic Top Trim has been launched at INR 44.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom price) (Only 7-Seater)

Commenting on the launch, Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, JSW MG Motor India, said, “The MG MAJESTOR marks a bold addition to our portfolio as India’s first D+ SUV, delivering a powerful blend of performance, premium comfort, advanced technology and superior reliability. With its unmatched dimension, off-road mastery and multiple segment-first features, the MAJESTOR sets new benchmarks and offers a truly differentiated value proposition in the Indian SUV landscape."

The MAJESTOR is engineered for true SUV performance. Its twin-turbo diesel engine delivers best-in-class 215.5 PS and 478.5 Nm torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission in both 2WD and advanced 4WD. The intelligent 4WD system offers 10 off-road modes, seamlessly balancing everyday efficiency with rugged capability. In Auto Mode, it runs in 2WD under normal conditions and instantly switches to 4WD when traction is lost — ideal for rain, snow, or slippery surfaces.

Strengthening its off-road credentials, the MAJESTOR is the first in its segment to feature front, rear, and centre differential locks, enabling recovery even when wheels lose traction. With Crawl Control Mode, 219 mm ground clearance**, and 810 mm water wading capacity, it is built to conquer the toughest terrains with durability and reliability.

With a commanding 2950 mm wheelbase, the MAJESTOR stands unmatched at 5046 mm length, 2016 mm width, and 1870 mm height. Its Mosaic Matrix Grille, Dragon Eyes DRLs, Tri-beam headlamps, connected LED tail lamps, raised hood line, and 19-inch alloys create a bold yet refined presence.

Inside, the cabin offers a black-themed sanctuary with plush leather, ventilated and massaging seats (12-way driver, 8-way passenger), panoramic sunroof, 64-colour ambient lighting, and three-zone AC. Available in 6- or 7-seater configurations, it integrates dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, 12 JBL surround-sound speakers, dual wireless chargers, a 220V outlet, and 75+ iSMART-connected features for a tech-forward drive.

Toyota to Build $2.1B SUV Plant in India, Production Starts 2029

Toyota Motor Corporation has announced a ₹20,000 crore investment to build a new SUV manufacturing plant in Bidkin, Maharashtra, with a capacity of 100,000 vehicles annually. Production will begin in the first half of 2029, creating around 2,800 jobs and expanding Toyota’s total India capacity to nearly 450,000 units.

It is to be noted that the $2.1B valuation is not Toyota’s official disclosure but a state government estimate converted into USD. The $2.1B figure derived from Maharashtra’s confirmed investment figure of ₹20,000 crore for Toyota’s new SUV plant, converted using the latest May 2026 exchange rate of ~₹95.2 per USD, which equals about $2.1 billion.

The new Toyota plant will be positioned to steadily deliver vehicles not only to customers in India but also to customers in surrounding regions.

  • Future Line-up: Compact SUV (possibly Land Cruiser FJ), affordable Innova variant, electric MPV, Corolla Cross SUV, next-gen Fortuner

Industry Context

  • Competitors Expanding: Suzuki plans >1 million unit expansion by 2030; Honda investing ₹1,200 crore in Rajasthan for EV rollout
  • Policy Alignment: India’s push for hybrid, EV, and ethanol-based vehicles aligns with Toyota’s global “Beyond Zero” sustainability vision
