The MG Majestor is an all-new flagship SUV from MG Motor India, scheduled for official launch on February 12, 2026, with teasers already revealing its bold road presence and modern design cues. Positioned above the existing MG Gloster in MG’s lineup, the Majestor is engineered to compete directly with premium body-on-frame SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner Legender and other flagship rivals. This new model is being introduced as India’s first “D+ segment” SUV, which means it’s larger and more premium than typical D-segment SUVs currently on sale, boasting a commanding stance, tallest and widest dimensions in its class, and a distinctive Majestic Matrix front grille with sharp split-headlamps and falcon-type DRLs.

Under the hood, the MG Majestor is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, offering robust performance for both on-road and off-road driving. According to reports, the engine’s output is likely around 216 PS of power and up to 480 Nm of torque in the higher tune, with 4×4 drive capability available — making it suitable for rugged terrains as well as highway cruising. This powertrain setup is similar to the internationally sold Maxus D90/Gloster platform, which the Majestor builds upon but with significant design and feature enhancements.

Inside, the Majestor is expected to feature a premium and technology-rich cabin, with a large free-floating 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an all-digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and a suite of advanced comfort features including ventilated/heated seats with massaging functionality, three-zone climate control, and a high-end audio system. Connectivity and convenience will likely be strong points, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and connected car tech anticipated across higher trims. On the safety and driver-assistance front, Level-2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360° camera setup are expected to be offered, elevating the Majestor’s appeal in the premium SUV segment.

In terms of pricing, the MG Majestor is expected to be priced in a “premium” range, with estimates around ₹40–₹50 lakh (ex-showroom) in India for the base and higher trims, while some publications suggest starting prices could be closer to ₹46 lakh for the initial variants. Final pricing may vary by city and feature level at launch. With its combination of commanding dimensions, powerful diesel engine, advanced tech and safety suite, and luxurious interior features, the MG Majestor is being positioned as a serious challenger in India’s full-size SUV market — appealing to buyers who want more space, capability, and premium features than typical mid-size SUVs.

The Kia K4 Hatchback (2026 model year) is Kia’s new compact hatch designed to give the K4 sedan’s tech and styling in a more practical shape. Compared with the sedan, the hatch keeps the same front-end look up to the C-pillars, but the rear is shorter and shaped for a liftgate, making it feel sportier and more versatile for everyday use. Even with the shorter overall length, early reports highlight that the hatchback can offer more usable cargo room than the sedan thanks to the taller, more accessible rear opening.

On the powertrain side, the K4 Hatchback mirrors the K4 sedan lineup. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 147 hp, paired with a CVT and driving the front wheels. If you want more punch, the GT-Line Turbo upgrades to a 1.6-liter turbo four with 190 hp and an 8-speed automatic (a conventional automatic, not a CVT), giving it stronger acceleration and a more “normal” sporty feel in daily driving.

Where the K4 Hatchback aims to stand out is the blend of interior space + modern cabin tech. Kia’s official materials highlight an available Digital Cockpit with a 29.6-inch combined display, plus a roomy interior focus (including strong rear-seat legroom messaging). Practicality is a big part of the pitch too: outlets note around 22.2 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up and up to about 59 cubic feet with the seats folded, which is big for this class and exactly why hatchbacks still have fans.

Trim and pricing info has also started to land. Kia has publicly announced pricing for the 2026 K4 Hatchback, positioning it as a stylish alternative to compact rivals like the Civic hatch/Mazda3/Corolla/Impreza crowd while still aiming for value. Some coverage has cited pricing in the mid-$20k to around $30k range depending on trim and options, but the exact out-the-door number will vary by destination, packages, and dealer add-ons.

Maruti Suzuki’s e Vitara is NEXA’s first big step into the mass-market EV space—an SUV-style electric car that’s meant to feel like a “proper Vitara” rather than a small city EV. In terms of size, Autocar lists it at 4,275mm long, 1,800mm wide, 1,640mm tall with a 2,700mm wheelbase, and it’s currently shown as arriving in early 2026 (India).

On the EV side, the official NEXA site highlights a claimed driving range of 543 km on a full charge, and even mentions you can do up to ~400 km at 80% charge (useful because fast-charging usually targets 80%). Autocar further says the e Vitara is expected with two battery options (49kWh and 61kWh, LFP) and front-mounted electric motors, with the bigger-battery versions listed with the same 192.5Nm torque figure.

Where the e Vitara really tries to “feel premium” is features and safety: NEXA calls out ADAS Level 2 with 15+ functions (like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, and emergency braking), plus 7 airbags (six + a driver knee airbag) and ESP. For comfort, NEXA also mentions ventilated front seats, rear seats that slide and recline, a panoramic fixed-glass sunroof, and multiple drive modes including Eco/Normal/Sport plus Snow mode. Charging-wise, Maruti positions it as flexible: home AC charging, fast DC charging on trips, a portable charger, and app-based help to find/reserve charging slots.
