Apart from the regular version, the Legender features sharp lines with sleek LED Headlamps. The rear features a stylish LED taillamp setup that wraps around the rear with a sporty bumper design, which adds to the overall appeal.

At the rear, Majestor has a connected LED bar setup, and the sculpted bumper with dual exhaust gives it a very sporty vibe.

The legender comes with a dual-tone black upholstery with red stitching. In terms of safety, it is packed with seven airbags, vehicle stability control, ABS with EBD, and Hill assist control.
On the other hand, the MG Majestor will boast a plethora of features like every other MG car available in the Indian market.
