1. What’s Happening: The Two SUVs
According to multiple recent reports, MG Motor India is gearing up to launch two completely new SUV offerings in the Indian market in 2026. The two models mentioned are:
- A major facelift / update of the popular mid-size SUV MG Hector (2026 version)
- A new full-size SUV, named MG Majestor (based on global full-size SUV architecture)
While neither is formally announced with full specs yet by MG Motor India, industry sources and spy-shots give a fair picture of what’s coming.
2. SUV #1 – The 2026 MG Hector Facelift
What we know
- The Hector has been spotted in testing near MG’s factory in Halol, Gujarat, suggesting the next-gen/major facelift is under way.
- The update is expected to bring pronounced design changes, including front & rear styling tweaks, possibly new lighting signatures and revamped bumper / grille styling. times.motormitra.in
- Under the skin, MG may carry forward the existing engine line-up (1.5 litre turbo petrol and 2.0 litre turbo diesel options) rather than full new power-plants.
- Improvements are likely in the digital domain: upgraded infotainment, refreshed instrument cluster, improved connectivity and UI.
Why it matters
The Hector has been a key model for MG in India, but its momentum has slowed. This facelift is intended to refresh interest and fend off rising competition in the mid-size SUV space.
What remains to be confirmed
- Whether MG will introduce hybrid / mild-hybrid versions with this update (nothing publicly confirmed yet)
- Exact pricing, variant breakdown and feature list for the facelift
- Whether significant mechanical changes (chassis, suspension) will accompany the update
3. SUV #2 – The MG Majestor Full-Size SUV
What we know
- The Majestor is described as a full-size SUV that will be priced above MG Motor’s current large SUV (the MG Gloster) in India. times.motormitra.in
- It is expected to follow a global large-SUV architecture, bringing premium features, a longer wheelbase and strong road presence.
- Industry coverage indicates a launch in 2026, aligning with MG’s plan of multiple new models in the 2025-26 timeframe.
Why it matters
- This launch will allow MG Motor to expand upmarket into the premium large-SUV territory in India.
- With increasing demand for larger SUVs (7-seater, premium feel) in India, this gives MG Motor a broader portfolio and strengthens its brand positioning.
What remains to be confirmed
- Exact power-train options (petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric?)
- Launch date, production localization, and price positioning details
- Whether this will be imported or locally built (and the localization level)

4. Why This Matters for MG Motor in India
- The Indian SUV market continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments, especially in compact, mid-size and large SUV categories.
- MG currently holds a modest share in the Indian passenger vehicle market; expanding its SUV line-up helps it remain relevant and attractive to buyers seeking size, features and presence.
- Refreshing the Hector and adding a premium full-size SUV gives MG both depth (in its core mid-size segment) and breadth (moving up into the premium 7-seater space). times.motormitra.in
- With global platforms, increasing localisation and more feature-rich cars, MG Motor aims to compete better with both Indian and global rivals.
5. Launch Timeline & Pricing Expectations
- According to MG Motor reports, these two SUV launches are expected in 2026 in India.
- Pricing estimates are not concretely available yet. However:
- For the Hector facelift: expect similar or slightly premium pricing to the current Hector.
- For the Majestor full-size SUV, it is expected to be above the MG Gloster’s pricing.
- Production/local-assembly details remain under wraps; localization will have a big impact on final pricing.
6. What We Still Don’t Know
- Detailed specifications: engine outputs, transmission options, hybrid/electric variants.
- Finalized pricing, variant line-up and feature list for both models.
- When bookings will open, and whether there will be special early-bird offers.
- How MG Motor will position these models geographically (whether all India launch or region-by-region).
- Whether MG Motor will use these launches to expand export markets or keep them strictly for India initially.
