Design & Looks
The Rakan 4×4 keeps the bold, muscular stance of the original Majestor. A large front grille, LED headlamps and a roof‑line that tapers toward the rear give it a confident road presence. Inside, MG has fitted a 10.1‑inch touchscreen, leather‑wrapped steering wheel and a panoramic sunroof – all aimed at a premium feel without a premium price tag.
- Sharp LED DRLs that add a modern touch.
- 15‑inch alloy wheels (optional 18‑inch for higher trims).
- Spacious cabin with 190 mm rear legroom.

Performance & Mileage
Under the bonnet sits a 2.0‑litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 6‑speed automatic gearbox. The power output is 231 hp and 340 Nm of torque, enough to move the 1,770 kg SUV comfortably on highways and city streets. MG claims a combined mileage of around 12 km/l, which is respectable for a vehicle of this size.
| Engine | Mileage | Price (INR) | Top Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 L Turbo Petrol | ~12 km/l (combined) | ₹16.99 Lakh – ₹20.99 Lakh | LED headlamps, 10.1″ infotainment, 4‑wheel drive, panoramic sunroof |
Price & Rivals
In India, the Majestor will start at roughly ₹16.99 lakh for the base 4‑WD model and go up to ₹20.99 lakh for the top‑spec variant. This puts it squarely against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Tata Harrier. While the Creta and Seltos focus on compact dimensions, the Majestor offers more interior space and a true 4‑wheel‑drive system, which could attract families looking for occasional off‑road capability.
- Hyundai Creta: starts around ₹12 lakh, front‑wheel drive only.
- Kia Seltos: starts around ₹13 lakh, similar engine options.
- Tata Harrier: starts around ₹15 lakh, also offers 4‑WD but with a larger V6.
