The hierarchy at MG Motor India has a new king. On February 12, 2026, the automaker unveiled the MG Majestor, a heavily updated and “upscaled” version of the Gloster. While the Gloster focused on “urbane luxury,” the Majestor shifts gears toward a more rugged, commanding “D+ Segment” presence.
Positioned as a direct rival to the Toyota Fortuner Legender and the Skoda Kodiaq, the Majestor is essentially the “evolution” of the Gloster, bringing massive tech updates and serious off-roading hardware to the table.

Dimension Comparison: Scaling Up the “Big Daddy”
The Majestor is physically imposing, outgrowing the already-large Gloster in every external metric except the wheelbase. This adds to its “commanding footprint” on Indian roads.
| Dimension | MG Majestor | MG Gloster | Difference |
| Length | 5,046 mm | 4,985 mm | +61 mm |
| Width | 2,016 mm | 1,926 mm | +90 mm |
| Height | 1,876 mm | 1,867 mm | +9 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,950 mm | 2,950 mm | No Change |
Interior & Tech: A Digital Cockpit Overhaul
The most significant “meaningful” upgrade is found inside. The Majestor ditches the dated semi-digital interface for a high-res, twin-screen cockpit.
-
Dual 12.3-inch Screens: The driver now gets a fully digital 12.3-inch cluster, replacing the Gloster’s 8-inch unit. It sits alongside a matching 12.3-inch infotainment screen running i-Smart 2.0.
-
Column-Mounted Shifter: To free up center console space for dual wireless chargers, the gear lever has been moved to the steering column.
-
Enhanced Comfort: While the Gloster offered ventilation/massage for the driver only, the Majestor extends ventilation and 8-pattern massage to the co-passenger as well.

Powertrain & Off-Road: Hardcore Credibility
Under the hood, the Majestor retains the 2.0L twin-turbo diesel but drops the lower-spec single-turbo engine option found in the Gloster’s entry trims.
-
Engine: 2.0L Twin-Turbo Diesel (215.5 PS / 478.5 Nm).
-
Segment First: The Majestor introduces triple differential locks (front, center, and rear) and an M-Crawl mode, making it a significantly more capable off-roader than the Gloster.
-
Wading Depth: It boasts a massive 810 mm water-wading capacity, specifically designed for extreme monsoon conditions.
Investigative Angle: Why the Name Change?
Our analysis of MG’s strategy suggests the name change from “Gloster Facelift” to “Majestor” is a calculated marketing move.
The Strategy: By rebranding, MG is effectively distancing the vehicle from the “value-luxury” baggage of the Gloster and repositioning it in the ₹45 lakh–₹50 lakh bracket. This allows them to compete more aggressively with the “Legender” sub-brand of the Fortuner. Furthermore, the M-Hub off-road software and mechanical differential locks are features typically found in luxury off-roaders like the G-Wagon or Jeep Wrangler, justifying the expected ₹5 lakh–₹10 lakh premium over the outgoing Gloster.

Next Steps
If you are currently considering the MG Gloster, you should hold off and wait for the March previews of the Majestor at local dealerships. Furthermore, if you are among the first 3,000 buyers, you should pre-book online for ₹41,000 to secure the 5-year unlimited kilometer warranty and priority delivery in May.
