MG Majestor Set for India Unveil on 12 February: Flagship SUV Raises the Bar

JSW MG Motor India is gearing up to make a bold statement in the premium SUV space with the official unveiling of the MG Majestor on 12 February. First showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo last year, the Majestor is now inching closer to its much-anticipated market debut, with the brand putting final touches on launch preparations.

Positioned above the MG Gloster, the upcoming Majestor will take on the role of MG’s flagship internal combustion engine (ICE) SUV in India. Recent sightings of near-production test mules on Indian roads suggest that the SUV is in the final stages of development, hinting that its launch timeline is right on track.

Bold, Upright and Built to Impress

The MG Majestor is expected to wear a commanding road presence, staying true to its flagship positioning. Design highlights are likely to include:

• A bold, upright stance

• Blacked-out front grille

• Vertically stacked LED headlamps with slim LED DRLs

• Chunky skid plates for a rugged appeal

• Distinctive alloy wheels

Underpinning the Majestor is a ladder-frame platform, reinforcing its focus on toughness, durability, and off-road capability—qualities that Indian SUV buyers continue to value in this segment.

• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

MG’s emphasis on tech and comfort suggests the Majestor will aim to deliver a refined, feature-rich experience that matches its premium aspirations.

This setup is tuned to produce an impressive 213bhp and 478Nm of torque, promising strong performance both on highways and off the beaten path.

Rivals and Market Positioning

Once launched, the MG Majestor will compete in the highly competitive premium three-row SUV segment, taking on established players such as the Toyota Fortuner Legender and the Skoda Kodiaq. With its rugged ladder-frame architecture, powerful diesel engine, and feature-loaded cabin, MG is clearly aiming to carve out a strong niche in this space.

Citroen C3 - Honest Pros & Cons

While it is not wise to call C3 a compact SUV however it's a crossover from hatch to a compact SUV - something in between. Keeping in mind the price-conscious Indian car buyer, C3 is high on the localisation. The made-in-India C3 is derived from the  PSA's Common Modular Platform. 

The all new Citroen - C3 | Bookings Open

For now, only 2 variants - Live and Feel are up for grabs. There are two engine options - an 81 BHP, 1.2L naturally-aspirated petrol mated to a 5-speed MT, and a 109 BHP turbocharged petrol mated to a 6-speed MT. However, it lags the automatic variant. 

Design & Styling

Citroen's design language is unconventional and disruptive. Though dimensions are proportionate it feels like a well-designed SUV but compressed in size, like the Tata Punch. 

The C3 measures 3,981 mm in length, 1,733 mm in width, and 1,604 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,540 mm which is more than the Tata Punch (2,445 mm), and the Nissan Magnite & Renault Kiger (2,500 mm). You don't get alloy wheels as standard, but as an optional add-on.

C3 - Interiors

Build Quality, Fit & Finish

The C3 uses a Common Modular Platform and while it is built to a cost, it doesn't feel cheap.  The doors and the bonnet are sturdy. The doors have a 3-stage opening & closing action providing a satisfactory thud. Overall, the car feels solid. The only downside is the quality of plastic used. 

The Infotainment system - Apple Carplay & Android Auto 

Wheels & Tyres

The Citroen C3 is offered with 15-inch steel wheels as standard with 'Tessera' wheel covers. You can opt for alloy wheels as an option. 

The standard tyre size is 195/65 R15 for both, naturally aspirated and turbo petrol variants and have a speed limit of 80 km/h.

Less on Space - Suitable for 4 passengers

Ground Clearance

The C3 has a ground clearance of 180 mm, which is suitable for Indian road conditions. Note that the Tata Punch has a GC of 190 mm and the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite have a GC of 205 mm.

Maintenance

Being a new brand in India, Citroen is focusing on providing good service for this car by leveraging virtual remote diagnosis, periodic service and maintenance with pickup and drop facilities, 180-minute RSA guarantee, remote service job card opening, service cost estimator on the website, genuine spare parts availability in 24 hours and service on wheels to name a few. 

Focused on building Service Centers pan India

Safety

The Citroen C3 isn't feature-loaded and have minimalistic safety basic. It has dual airbags, ABS, reverse parking sensors, speed-sensitive auto door lock, and seatbelt reminder for driver and passenger. You will surel miss the adjustable headrests in the front and rear, ISOFIX child seat anchors, side airbags, and a reverse parking camera.

After recently launched Ertiga 2022, Maruti has given another block buster in form of XL6 for the Indian market, with a few visual edits and some equipment upgrades. Major alteration is to the powertrain of the MPV, to make it more cost effective to run and dual-tone paint.

2022 Maruti Suzuki - XL6

Exteriors:

More chrome accentuates the front grille giving it a mild muscular look. The 15-inch black alloy wheels have been upgraded to 16-inch dual-tone alloy giving it a more sportier look. At the rear, the roof-mounted spoiler is in a renewed avatar and the tailgate gets a new chrome garnish. LED taillights get restyled lighting elements and smoked glass. Rest, everything remains just the same.

Rear Profile of the new 2022 XL6

Interiors:

The design of the cabin remains the same as the former model. The dashboard comes with neatly integrated AC vents on the passenger side & has the same horizontal slots as before. The steering wheel remains identical as well, and keyless entry and push-button start are available. Although the infotainment system still gets a 7-inch touchscreen, it now runs SmartPlay Pro system.

The Interiors

Connectivity:

XL6 now offers Suzuki Connect with over 40 connected features, including remote HVAC controls, driving behaviour analysis, car status report, vehicle safety and security alert, etc. MPV owners can remotely control their XL6 via a compatible smartwatch or Amazon Alexa.  

The 7” Touch Display

Additional safety features such as ABS (with EBD and brake assist), ISOFIX child seat mount points, central locking, antitheft alarm, rear wiper & defogger, cruise control, ventilated seats etc., are also available

Seating:

The XL6 has six seats on offer, with captain chairs in the second row and two bench seats in the third row. Surprisingly much needed feature in hot Indian summers, AC vents are available for the rear passengers as well.

Comfortable Seating Position

Engine: 

The 2022 Maruti XL6 is fuelled by K15C engine, with a mild-hybrid system on offer. This offers a good 103 PS of maximum power and 136.8 Nm of peak torque. There is an option to choose between a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, and the latter gets paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. While the new XL6 has slightly less power than its predecessor, it gives a higher fuel economy i.e 20.97 kmpl on the manual version and 20.27 kmpl on the automatic version.

Pricing: Maruti Suzuki XL6 is currently priced from Rs. 11.29 lakh to Rs. 14.55 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi) 

Verdict: Suzuki has competition from Suzuki i.e. Maruti Showrooms vs. Nexa Showrooms. We feel Ertiga is better value for money option overall especially those under tight budget. None the less, XL6 is a good MPV and even base variant has many good things to offer.
