MG has updated its popular Hector family with some slight but useful changes. Both the 5-seater Hector and the 6/7-seater Hector Plus now come with updated design elements, new colors, improved interiors, and smart features to become more appealing to buyers who want a spacious and stylish SUV.
Exterior Updates
The front of both SUVs has been given a new grille design dubbed Aura Hex grill. It has a bold hexagonal shape with chrome accents, which give the Hector a fresher, more premium appearance.
- New bumper design – Aura sculpt bumper front and rear
- Wheels – Cleaner, understated Orphin wheel design
- Body & roof – Sculpt lines stay the same, roof rails and panoramic sun roof continue
- Tail lamps & rear bumper – Minor Modifications, Keeping original shape mostly
- New colours – Pearl White for Hector, Celadon Blue Hector Plus
The general form of both SUVs hasn’t changed much. They still have the familiar silhouette that fans are familiar with, but these small changes make them a bit more modern and luxurious looking.
Interior & Comfort
Inside the updates are more noticeable.
- Upholstery – Grey (Hector), tan (Hector Plus)
- Ventilated seats – For a better comfort during long drives
- Infotainment – EyeSwipe technology, Multi finger gestures (2 fingers, 3 fingers swipes)
- Dashboard – Same design, slight changes to feature options
- Seating- Hector Plus offers 6 or 7 seater variants with Captain seats for second row
- Panoramic sunroof – Available on both models which adds more light and space
The interiors feel fresh yet without losing the familiar MG feel. Materials are of premium quality and the cabin is large for driver and passengers.
Engine
The updated Hector still runs on the familiar 1.5 litre turbo-petrol engine. It produces about 141 hp and 250 Nm torque, thus smooth and reliable for day-to-day drives. You can choose either a manual gearbox for more control or CVT automatic for easy and relaxed driving in traffic.
Practicality
- Boot space – Large enough for family trips
- Third-row seating – Hector Plus can accommodate adults on short drives

Hector (5-seater) – Starts from Rs 11.99 lakh, up to Rs 18.99 lakh
Hector Plus (6/7-seater) – Starts from Rs 17.29 lakh, goes up to Rs 19.49 lakh
The pricing is competitive for the features offered and offers buyers options for families as well as tech savvy SUV lovers.
