Nissan Gravite to Launch in India Tomorrow; Here’s What to Expect

<p>Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch the facelifted Brezza in India, and fresh spy shots of its camouflaged test mule have now surfaced online, suggesting a notable mechanical upgrade – a 6-speed manual gearbox. Notably, India’s largest carmaker currently does not offer a 6-speed manual gearbox in its lineup. The now-discontinued S-Cross 1.6-litre diesel was among the few Maruti Suzukis in India to feature a 6-speed manual. Therefore, if the updated Brezza debuts with this gearbox, it will become the first model in the brand’s current portfolio to offer the setup, marking a shift from the widely used 5-speed manual and AMT options seen in models such as the<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/dzire/"> Dzire</a>, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/baleno/">Baleno</a>, and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/fronx/">Fronx</a>.

MG Majestor Variant-wise Features Explained

Bookings for the Majestor are currently underway for a token amount of Rs 41,000. If you’re planning to buy the MG SUV, here’s a detailed breakdown of the features across each variant.

<p>MG has entered the full-size <a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/">SUV </a>segment with the Majestor,&nbsp;prices of which are yet to be revealed. This market has long been ruled by heavyweights like&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/fortuner/">Toyota Fortuner</a>. The big SUV has built its reputation on durability, strong resale value,&nbsp;and commanding road presence. Now, with the Majestor stepping in to challenge this benchmark, we put the two head-to-head to see how they stack up across key parameters.</p><h2><strong>MG Majestor vs Toyota: Engine</strong></h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/MG-Majestor-Rear-1770886702294.webp" alt="MG Majestor Rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>

Buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations. The Toyota Fortuner, on the other hand, relies on larger-capacity engines and a wider choice. </p><p>The 2.7-litre petrol (164bhp/245Nm) comes only in 4x2 (RWD), while the 2.8-litre diesel (201bhp/up to 420Nm) is available in both 4x2 and 4x4 formats in the standard Fortuner, with manual and automatic gearbox options.
