JSW MG Motor India is now going to strengthen its hold in the D+ SUV segment. The company will soon launch its new SUV MG Maestro. This SUV will give direct competition to the popular Toyota Fortuner. Even before its official launch, the company has tested it several times in India. Recently, during its testing, an uncovered Maestro has been seen, which was in black color. Let’s understand this new SUV in detail.
MG Majestor : Not Glister Facelift, a completely new SUV
Earlier it was being called MG Gloater Facelift, but now the company has given it a new name and identity – MG Maestro. The company is presenting it as an all-new vehicle, which is going to get much better features, design and space than the old model. If we talk about its design, it looks a lot like Maxus D90. Some people are even saying that MG Maestro is actually a badge-engineered Maxus D90 in India. Its look is quite bold and imposing, which can be liked in the Indian market.
MG Majestor seen in testing without cover – in black
This is the second time that pictures of Majestor have surfaced during testing. This time the SUV was seen in black, and that too without any cover or camouflage. This time the testing has been done in Jaipur, while before this a white Majestor was seen in Delhi. The new update is that this time a big “Maestro” badging was also seen on the rear bumper of the SUV.
MG Majestor size and design: Big, powerful and royal
The biggest feature of Majestor is its size. This SUV will be longer than 5 meters, and can be the most affordable 5-meter-plus SUV available in India. That is, it can be bigger than Fortuner in terms of size but cheaper in price. Side steps have been provided as standard for boarding and alighting the SUV.
The rear portion of the Majestor now has a large lettering of “Morris Garages” instead of the MG logo, which gives it a premium look. The LED taillights have become slimmer and smarter and now also feature a full-with connected LED light bar. The exhaust has also changed – it now gets two square chrome tips, one for each exhaust pipe.
Front design: split headlamps, large grille and powerful look
The front of the Maestro features a powerful and attractive design. It has a split headlight setup, with LED DRLs on top and vertically mounted LED headlamps below. A large chrome grille and a bold MG logo are placed in the middle. Its alloy wheels can be up to 20-inches and can be fitted with wide 265-section tires.
Talking about dimensions:
- Length – 5,046 mm
- Width – 2,016 mm
- Height – 1,876 mm
- Wheelbase – 2,950 mm
Interior: New dashboard, bigger screen and advanced features
Inside the Maestro, you will find a free-standing large infotainment screen which will look much more modern than the old Gloster model. Also, its dashboard and center console have been completely redesigned. The most important thing is that while Gloater and Fortuner get only one rear differential lock, Maestro is likely to get three locking differentials, which will greatly increase the off-roading capabilities.
Engine and performance: Powerful twin turbo power
As far as the engine is concerned, the MG Majestor is expected to be given the same engine that comes in the Gloater – that is, a 2.0 liter twin turbo diesel engine. This engine will give power of about 215 bhp and torque of 500 Nm. It will have an 8-speed automatic gearbox sourced from ZF and will come with a 4X4 drivetrain.
Conclusion:
MG Majestor is not only strong in appearance but its features and size also make it a great SUV. Its price can be less than Fortuner and features more. In such a situation, this SUV can be a great option for those who want to buy a big, strong and feature-loaded SUV.
Soon information related to its official launch and price will also be revealed. MG Maestro can bring a new storm in the SUV segment!
