MG India has revealed a new seven-seat SUV, which could rival popular ladder-frame-based models as a facelift to one of its Indian-market offerings.

While it’s yet to launch even in its original nation, the MG Majestor SUV’s platform sets it as a (likely) cheaper alternative to the Toyota Prado or Fortuner, Ford Everest or Isuzu MU-X.

The Majestor is essentially a facelift to the existing MG Gloster seven-seater, but according to Autocar India it’s set to be positioned as a more premium version of it, and the Gloster will remain on sale.

MG Australia has confirmed to CarsGuide the Majestor won’t come to Australia, however, saying: "MG Australia has exciting plans to significantly expand our product range over the next two years. We consider all available vehicles available in our network, but at this stage, we will not be bringing the Majestor into the Australian market."

One reason for this is likely that the Majestor (as with its Gloster counterpart) is built on the same SAIC platform as the LDV D90 large SUV here in Australia, also sharing similar styling elements and its oily bits.

The latter should mean an option of petrol- or diesel-powered turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engines and either a rear-wheel or 4WD layout via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

MG India says it’ll measure in as the “tallest, longest, and widest” according to Autocar India, as it’ll also be the largest of MG’s offerings there.

It’s expected to be well-equipped, likely with features such as heated and cooled seats, level 2 advanced driving assistance (ADAS) and premium audio.

Racing video games, car-spotting on road trips, and helping wash the family VL Calais Turbo as a kid were all early indicators that an interest in cars would stay present in Chris’ life, but loading up his 1990 VW Golf GTI Mk2 and moving from hometown Brisbane to work in automotive publishing in Melbourne ensured cars would be a constant. With a few years as MOTOR Magazine’s first digital journalist under his belt, followed by a stint as a staff journalist for Wheels Magazine, Chris’ career already speaks to a passion for anything with four wheels, especially the 1989 Mazda MX-5 he currently owns. From spending entire weeks dissecting the dynamic abilities of sports cars to weighing up the practical options for car buyers from all walks of life, Chris’ love for writing and talking about cars means if you’ve got a motoring question, he can give you an answer.
