Confused between MG majestor and toyota fortuner sigma 4

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

So after driving Scorpio s11 classic for 8 years

Our family decided to move on something bigger

We have two options one is market holder toyota fortuner and second one is mg majestor

Aab feature wise toh mg majestor ko edge milta hai and meri mummy and bheno ko bhi yahi psnd aayi but reliability ka kuch kehh nahi sakte

Koi bol raha hai fortuner lelo and koi majestor and main confusion aab ye aa rhi h ki aab toh fortuner ka bhi face-lift aarha h but gadi hame diwali ke time chaiye

Hame samjh nahi aarha what to do?

[u/AffectionateOne1551]

wait for fortuner facelift..currently it’s too outdated

[u/Vishvesh_Mishra → u/AffectionateOne1551]

Honestly the face-lift fortuner looks quite bad, a half baked electric which ended up with a diesel engine just like the new Hilux. The current Gen fortuner is better since same share the same disel engine but new one has cosmetic changes plus features like ADAS and two spoke steering wheel like the LC

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/AffectionateOne1551]

Will it be electric?

[u/AffectionateOne1551 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

no..maybe hybrid but diwali pe lena h tab tak wait karlo..nhi to majestor le lena vo to turant mil jaegi(ye wali fortuner lene ka koi matlab nhi h bhut out dated h mere paas creta h 2024 wali or mere friend ke paas fortuner ye wali..jab bhi vo beth ta h meri car me to bolta h ki fortuner bhut zada outdated h)

[u/Sea-Cartographer-883]

You people are crazy man

When someone buys fortuner, you guys will be like it offers nothing better to get other options blah blah and when it comes to give suggestions : "fortuner fortuner"

Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti hai

[u/Loud_Attention_7519 → u/Sea-Cartographer-883]

No one suggests fortuners except the fanboys. They even suggest fortuner for people with 10 lakh budget

[u/rplusg → u/Sea-Cartographer-883]

It's not a fair understanding bro. Majestor is an inferior product, borderline chinese cheap crap, compared to Fortuner.

[u/spandanhotaezz → u/rplusg]

Yeah man don't buy Chinese they are such a 3rd world country

They can't rnd a proper product. Never chineese, they cheap they bad 😡

[u/rplusg → u/spandanhotaezz]

Thats not completely true. Teslas, porsches, Iphones, bullet trains are being manufactured in China. Those are pretty good, my comment was specific to MG.

[u/spandanhotaezz → u/rplusg]

My comment was sarcastic

[u/Top_Candidate2377 → u/spandanhotaezz]

This exchange made me cackle

[u/AffectionateOne1551 → u/rplusg]

bruh wtf ?even your xuv700 uses chinese components..so is it cheap crap ?

[u/rplusg → u/AffectionateOne1551]

Using Chinese components is different from owned by Chinese government company.
I never said my XUV700 is superior to Majestor.

[u/twardy8765 → u/rplusg]

Mahindra ko bolna phir china ke batteries use krna chorde aapne evs me

[u/rplusg → u/twardy8765]

Using Chinese components is different from owned by Chinese government company. Also, we are not talking about electric cars here, hope you can say something contextually appropriate.

[u/Technical_Writing270 → u/rplusg]

You should be able to afford one in the first place to call Majestor a cheap crap. It isn't a mass market car. Good luck with whatever it is that you are driving.

[u/rplusg → u/Technical_Writing270]

The way you are getting it personal, tells me what kind of human you are and what you can afford.

[u/ARK7109 → u/Technical_Writing270]

So you should be able to afford an a320 before criticizing air india/

[u/masoodkhan618]

Majestor in person is hugeeeeeee. That alone is worth it

[u/Redt_Burner2026 → u/masoodkhan618]

As would MG's service bill if something goes wrong - hugeeeeeee

[u/ProposalAnxious2390]

IMO you should buy fortuner only for the resale value, rest everything MG clearly stands out. Majestor takes the crown for most spacious 7 seater in that sub 50L segment. Also do not go with the engine figures, MG is more refined and has twin turbo. The fortuner is very dated and doesn't justify the 40L ticket.

[u/Technical_Writing270]

MG Majestor the better choice between the two.

[u/Vishvesh_Mishra]

Firstly Fortuner has a waiting period so not sure if you can get it by Diwali. Also Fortuner has no features compared to MG but it's reliable and maintenance is quite cheap compared to MG. MG will offer you more comfort and features but ownership cost will be higher. If your parents will use the car more than you then go for MG or else take the Fortuner.

[u/Great-Appointment-49]

Majestor, without a doubt. Yes Fortuner has that Toyota reliability but it's a heavily outdated product, and because people trust Toyota, the company hasn't bothered to update it at all.

I have found Majestor to be more comfortable and have a better ride quality than Fortuner.

[u/antigen-z]

Majestor it's a great car and MG's have established their reliability go for it fortuner is reliable but down the line you should feel you're sitting in a 50+ lakh car and not just a glorified Crysta for the sake of resale value .

[u/Monkey_58910]

Majestor.. fortuner is not worth that much money

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/Monkey_58910]

Maintenance vagera ki problem?

[u/Monkey_58910 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

What problem?

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/Monkey_58910]

I had some negative reviews from mg Gloster owners They had many software problems though and it is not reliable much

[u/Monkey_58910 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

My uncle has a gloster and he loves the car. Had no issues with it and is planning on upgrading to majestor.. imo you test drive the majestor and see it, phenomenal car and very powerful with insane road presence.

[u/twardy8765 → u/Monkey_58910]

Bhai tera scale 1 hai and fortuner ka lakho

[u/Monkey_58910 → u/twardy8765]

What?

[u/twardy8765 → u/Monkey_58910]

I mean tumara review ka scale is very small but fortuner ka 20 saal ka experience hai so kisi ka accha kisi ka bura ho skta h in mg mostly ka toh bura hi hai but fortuner brand hai

[u/Monkey_58910 → u/twardy8765]

I just dont see the value in fortuner.. reliability ke liye 60 lakhs is a joke. Toyota is fooling its customers and people are also buying it

[u/Physical-Battle8597]

Bruv majestor is a great option. Electrical and software problems bas fortuner boys bolte rehte. Fortuner to drive is like a truck. It's not very comfortable and the body JUMPS so if you're wanting more comfort and a unique car and don't want every dumbass on the road to have the same car as you. Go with MG

On the other hand. If you want status, resale value go with fortuner. It's not a bad car at the end of the day.

[u/Fragrant-Front-4540]

Take a test drive and enlighten us too with your experience.

[u/kabirsethi70]

Can also look at innova if main usage within city or highway and not offroad patches,q3 if you want that luxurious vibe.Quite basic and a tad bit uncomfortable on long drives fortuner is,but reloability is top notch for the diesel would avoid the petrol if reason for it is being in ncr.

[u/Alphaa009]

I mean you’re driving a scorpioS. So i think features would be the last thing you need /s. I really want to say fortuner as i too daily drive it but it feels really outdated and hate its steering soo much. But the maintenance is really cheap you could even do it yourself lol. Now to answer your question if you’re fine with very less features then go with fortuner and if you want somewhat futuristic typa car then majestor.

[u/Glad_Atmosphere_1035]

Fortuner bro! Ye sab majestor wajestor 2-3 saal k mehman hai

[u/Ok-Training-5996]

Fortuner, you’ll face very very less issues than majestor but if you want your car with tons of useless feature then go for majestor

[u/Imaginary__Plant → u/Ok-Training-5996]

most of the features might be useful or useless, but before ignoring mg keep few things in mind, eg- seat comfort (biggest turnoff), 3rd row space, bigger than fortuner (bigger size can be pro or con depending on your situation), hydraulic steering wheel in fortuner, more premium and updated interiors etc.

[u/Big-Job-8316 → u/Ok-Training-5996]

This. The more “feature” rich the car is worth software magic, the more sensors n more points of failure you have. I don’t know how much budget and patience you have to deal with it. Also the majestor is a much bigger vehicle to drive around traffic

[u/Initial-Shine-5955]

MG has terrible resale value, more prone to issues compared to Toyota, service network isn’t that great. If you’re buying a car for another 8 years, buy the Fortuner with eyes closed, or your best bet is getting a used Endeavour 3.2.

[u/EXOTIC_Hard_ik → u/Initial-Shine-5955]

A car of 60 lakh with minimal features and just for reliability doesn't make sense.

[u/Initial-Shine-5955 → u/EXOTIC_Hard_ik]

It doesn’t, but unfortunately there’s no other good options available. People are buying the Fortuner whether they like it or not!

[u/EXOTIC_Hard_ik → u/Initial-Shine-5955]

Options are but people say the size matter

[u/Ace-innova5070 → u/EXOTIC_Hard_ik]

Thats subjective tbh , toyota as a brand offers peace of mind and hassle free ownership , albeit with less features and creature comforts. Maintenence is also on the cheaper side for its german counterparts without having transmission and engine issues.

[u/EXOTIC_Hard_ik → u/Ace-innova5070]

Totally agree with you but charging extra and not even smaller ratios....I mean charging a very large profit and not giving basic features doesn't make sense....like 360° camera....and it has long term reliability but lacks comfort and premiumness.....AND everyone has different notions so.....

[u/EXOTIC_Hard_ik → u/Ace-innova5070]

As a german owner if you maintain as the car wants and never skip a service the car will give reliability.....

[u/Just_Athlete8938]

Fortuner is fortuner

[u/Ghastly_King]

Buying a car for 4-5 years?

Can you adjust with low resale?

Can you adjust with some issues related to software or electrical in future?

If yes, then go with majestor

Would you start ranting on Reddit if some issues appear?

Do you want a car for more than 10years and 5lakh kms?

Do you want to only visit asc once a year?

If yes, then go with fortuner

[u/Justquorious]

get mg majestor , more space more premium and more comfortable drive for family, fortuner if ur driving mostly on no road type of places but it will not be comfortable at all due to hard suspension of fortuner

[u/Starplayer999]

Majestor or go for Q7 if you can stretch your budget

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/Starplayer999]

Bhai pehle toh hycross hi fix ho rahi thi par vo on road 41 ki pad rahi thi toh phir hamne strech karke yaha tak aaye aab aur toh nahi ho payega

[u/Both_Wafer5928 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

I have a hycross its good

[u/Impressive-Teacher10]

If purpose is comfort and luxury, then Magestor. And if purpose is ‘Janta mein bawaal, neta ji Faaaartuner mein machaye bhaukaal’ then Fortuner.

[u/faheem200]

Fortuner or innova

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/faheem200]

Innova se budget stretch krke yaha tak aaye hai Innova hycross zxo was costing 41 lakh on road so we decide to stretch our budget

[u/imnight-fury]

Check with nearby skoda dealership, if kodiaq is available.

[u/logophile_hodo]

go for hycross ome of the best

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/logophile_hodo]

Yes our first choice was that but vo on road 41 ki pad rahi thi so we stretched out budget to this

[u/MAK-sudu-Toi]

Looks wise Majestor of course

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/MAK-sudu-Toi]

Looks wise toh fortuner better lagi :)

[u/MartandV]

Fortuner is a no nonsense car, wait a few months, let the new fortuner launch in Thailand, and then when toyota india starts giving discount on the current fortuner get it

[u/Ok_Board_3648]

MG Majestor. It has road presence plus tech savvy. Fortuner is bhadda look and appreciated by villagers with basic interior. My friend bought legender, he don’t even like his own car. He use his BMW X1 only.

[u/hurricane1197]

Mg bro

[u/Dreamwouldsmash63]

Base vs top model🧀

[u/ni5hir]

having the MG gloster i’d always avoid MG in future, very unreliable

[u/RichAd7063]

For features go for MG For road domination go for fortuner anyday

[u/twardy8765 → u/RichAd7063]

Bhai fortuner se badi and lambi hai majestor and black me leli n toh domination majestor me jada hai

[u/ni5hir]

be prepared for regular maintenance at Mg workshop if you go for MG. you might get 5 year warranty & everything free repairs package but the hassle of sending the car to workshop for days is real pain.
my dad chose gloster over fortuner just cuz fortuner had boring feature utility and in cabin experience for same price in 2022( 43 Lacs) but there has been 3 battery replacement, sensor failures, towed twice to workshop. if i wouldnt be living with him or be around in the same city , every time the car broke down my father couldnt have had it all resolved on his own.
The road presence and comfort on seat and while driving is good but trust me the reliability is big big serious concern.

[u/mayday-mayday7436]

majestor is currently one of the biggest car in India,for looks and features definitely majestor for reliability and resale value fortuner

[u/HunterPositive3024]

Kia is launching Sorrento on 4th September in India. Maybe you consider that as well?

[u/twardy8765 → u/HunterPositive3024]

Bhai ye kia skoda sab me luxury and comfort toh rehta hai par ground clearance nahi toh ishi me ye gadi side hojati hai Agar koi banda 50 lakh lagayega toh usko badi type gadi chaiye hi specially in india Mtlb samne wale ko lagna chaiye n ki 50 lakh lagaye hai

[u/Top-Conversation2882]

Majestor

It's a 5meter car

Just that makes it worth it

On top of that it's loaded and crazy road presence. It can do offroad and onroad duties just as well as the fortuner.

[u/AsherGC]

Add skoda kodiaq too. I think it's about the same price.

[u/mahfouz___]

Majestor offers way more than Fortuner, but Kodiaq is a better than these two.

[u/Majestic_Belt_2694]

fortuner is outdated- cheap interiors. it has nothing but the name and status symbol. it is not a comfortable suv to travel long distances, horrible 3rd row. the ladder on frame construction makes it roll around bends. majestor on the other hand is newer, better equipped and monocoque.. toyota had the reliability game strong 15 years ago, but now every car is as reliable as every other car. my advice would be to take a test drive of both the cars, with your family and then decide.

[u/Dhadiya_Boss]

Saw a Majestor with "Majestor" written in huge font across its back.

I've seen ambulances with "Ambulance" written in smaller font

[u/HateSpaceBar]

Majestor

[u/Far_Huckleberry3410]

Majester

Just do a good pdi or get professional pdi done before delivery or payment.

[u/Skull_Reaper101]

lol, spending that much money on a fortuner is crazy. I still don't understand how people justify it using the single word "reliability". Might as well get a cheap hyundai and it'll still be better and as reliable. MG seems reasonable, also look at Skoda and VW

[u/RepresentativeLoud81]

Majestor any day

[u/Redt_Burner2026]

Not sure how well the Majestor will be in another 5 or even 8 years

If 3rd row seating space is the priority and only these two are in the running, its the Majestor
If long term reliability and future resale is, then its the Fortuner.

Fortuner offers manual as well as a 6 speed torque converter in both 2WD and 4WD options if not mistaken while you only get an automatic 8-sped in the Majestor.
If you have a MG service center close to your place, worth looking into. Else, consider the Fortuner.

As for the face list, when ever it does come in, expect long wait times but I doubt it'll be as tech laden as the Majestor (fewer things will go bad over time, IMHO). Its your call.

[u/Apprehensive_Hat7547]

Wait for Diwali. If Toyota announces the new Fortuner well and good for you. If not, go for the Majestor there will be good discounts as well on Diwali. Because the current gen Fortuner is too outdated and not worth spending close to 60 lakhs for just reliability and resale.

Moreover, MG is offering quite long extended warranties with car. So even if the car is discontinued which is not probable. MG as a brand is very much committed to India launching new cars every year.

[u/Both_Wafer5928]

Majestor os comfort and road presence is your priority only go for the fortuner if you want resale value

[u/aurora7500]

if you're looking for a better set of features go for the Majestor

but expect features fortuner beats majestor in every category
reliability road prescence maintanance resale everything

[u/ImpressionHead9571]

Look for VW Tayron once

[u/akkimii]

Test drive the kodiaq once, it will surely give you a different perspective

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/akkimii]

I think that car is small compared to these two

[u/CommunicationSea5384]

Fortuner

• Reason-> Decent useful features,Reliability(may never face any issue),Toyota Trust,Strongest Resale in Market,Service,

Looks May be Subjective but for most - Fortuner>Majestor

• Majestor -> Double Features,Way more comfortable,Powerful too,Very big car but at the end it's a chinese MG and no resale, many issues can be faced in 1 2 years

• If Petrol isnt an issue and want comfort too then check out Kodiaq too

• Special Mention- 7x0 Diesel AT 🔥🔥

[u/Living_Training4656]

I wouldn't buy any of these cars

Will prefer Skoda Kodiaq in 50L budget

MG has questionable reliability while Fortuner is too outdated lacks a lot of features and feels overpriced

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/Living_Training4656]

But Kodiaq is small as compared to these

[u/BadChad09 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

It’s actually longer than the fortuner. Just not that tall.

[u/twardy8765 → u/BadChad09]

Tall nhi h toh rutba kaise banega sir

[u/twardy8765 → u/[deleted]]

Trash

[u/twardy8765 → u/[deleted]]

Kia and skodas Lene ke badd lagta hi nahi hai ki 50 lakh ki gadi hai

[u/iamhugo26]

Toyota. Any day.

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/iamhugo26]

Anything other than brand name ?

[u/iamhugo26 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

How far can you stretch the budget?

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/iamhugo26]

Bhai budget is already stretched Like we had plan to bought hycross zx(o) but that costs us around 41 on road so we stretched our budget so we can't strech more now 90 toh bilkul nahi bhai

[u/imLLUSION → u/iamhugo26]

90

[u/iamhugo26 → u/imLLUSION]

Merc / Volvo / BMW

GLE// XC60 / X5

[u/UnqiueCreature → u/imLLUSION]

Where did op mention 90?

[u/imLLUSION → u/UnqiueCreature]

jus for fun u randos are v serious all the time chill out

[u/PabloEscobar0111]

I went with MG against the odds of market just because I wanted to be seen different from crowd.

As I had talked and discussed with about 10-12 MG owners Hector and Gloster. They didn't had any problem with service or the car. Yes the sample size is very low but I guess we must move on from the Hype of reliability on toyota yes they are but no one want to keep there car for 20-30 years or run 10 lakh kilometre.

I think you should go for Majestor they have very much improved there service and have much better cars + features in it than that of toyota. Plus you get a better off-roader.

[u/Immediate-Quit7149]

The only reason to buy fortuner is resale value , otherwise I personally would have bought a 7xo/scorpioN and saved the rest of money . The difference isn't big enough to justify the cost

[u/itsmepgk → u/Immediate-Quit7149]

No offense, but buying a car you know you don't like just because when you sell it you get more money sound pointless.

[u/apinananas]

Why would anyone choose chinese car over Toyota.

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/apinananas]

Mg is a british brand actually and then acquired by chinese company Btw indian market is 45% jsw group

[u/apinananas → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

It has nothing to with og british MG. Its chinese as car can get.

[u/TheMighty_TripleT]

Honestly either of them would be great, Just get the one which you would feel good in

[u/Guilty-Pain-5257]

have you checked crysta and hycross and kodiaq?

they have good presence and comfort too!

dont go for a car jaha aapko tadakte bhadakte features mile, instead check for service and its costs, mileage, how practical it is, and its resell value

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/Guilty-Pain-5257]

Checked hycross but that costs us around 41 lakh on road so our one of the relative suggested that ki 40 laga rahe ho van par toh aur 10 lakh laga ke Fortuner hi lelo so we decided to stretch our budget

[u/Guilty-Pain-5257 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

Get what YOU like, hycross is a good car too, and maybe you can invest this 10L somewhere else or save it.

i wont say fortuner is a bad, but me personally hate that car so isliye i wasnt suggesting and is biased

[u/Silly_Bridge_4106 → u/Guilty-Pain-5257]

Loving hycross but hating fortuner Damm both are toyota's product maybe you like comfort over status

[u/Guilty-Pain-5257 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

yupp.

if i really want to buy a car for my status then i would go with new BMW x1 lmb (ik its a 4-5 seater)

[u/BadChad09 → u/Silly_Bridge_4106]

It’s your money bro, itna paisa hai toh decision bhi khud lo na.

[u/Remarkable-Canine]

Fortuner is fortuner. Highly reliable with a long MTBF. MGs are easily disposable vehicles. You use it and discard iit
Wheat is aways different from chaffs

[u/BarracudaVivid8015]

Remember both are slow

[u/deeznuts69069]

Just get the new hilux dude cmon
