Upcoming SUVs 2026: The Toyota Fortuner’s unwavering dominance on Indian roads since 2009 has remained unchallenged. But the tables are set to turn in 2026, as JSW MG Motors and Jetour (Chery International) are gearing up to launch two of their most rugged and powerful SUVs—the MG Majestor and Jetour T2.
The Fortuner is known for its strong resale value and off-road capability, but the MG Majestor’s twin-turbo diesel engine and the Jetour T2’s plug-in hybrid technology are poised to bring a powerful and modern revolution to the roads. In this article, we’ll provide a detailed analysis of these two upcoming heavyweights and explore whether these SUVs can truly conquer the Fortuner’s fortress.

MG Majestor

MG Motors is officially launching its most rugged 7-seater SUV, the MG Majestor, on April 20, 2026. Bookings have already begun, and customer deliveries will begin in May 2026. This SUV is a strong choice, especially for those who prefer the powerful power of a diesel engine. The lineup will be available in four powerful variants, including powerful 6- and 7-seater options.
The Majestic is powered by a 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged diesel engine paired with an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission. This setup produces a robust 215 bhp and a strong 478 Nm of torque. For enhanced road grip, it features ‘M-Hub’ terrain management software and an on-demand four-wheel drive (4WD) system. Expected to be priced between ₹40 lakh and ₹45 lakh, this car has the potential to strongly attract Fortuner customers.

Jetour T2

Jetour T2 
Chery International’s Jetour T2 could prove to be a game-changer in the Indian market. Launched by September 2026, this SUV features plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. It combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine with two powerful electric motors and a robust 26.7 kWh battery. This setup produces a robust 381 bhp and a robust 610 Nm of torque, making it ready for any challenge.
The Jetour T2’s strongest point is its 139 km pure electric range. If you use a strong mix of petrol and electricity, the vehicle can cover a whopping 1,000 km. Its 3-speed dedicated hybrid transmission promises to deliver even stronger performance than a conventional eCVT. A strong price of ₹3.8 million to ₹4 million (approximately ₹38-40 lakh) makes it a formidable rival.
