MG Motor India is all set to launch the facelifted versions of its Hector and Hector Plus SUVs tomorrow.

Let’s take a look at what they could be like:
2025 MG Hector Facelift: Exterior

You can also see a slightly revised bumper with a silver garnish on the lower air dam at the front.
It could also get a reworked LED taillamp cluster, updated alloy wheels and a new rear bumper design as well in addition to a new blue exterior colour option. Besides these changes, the design of the facelifted Hector and Hector Plus will remain largely identical to the outgoing cars.

The interior of the facelifted Hector and Hector Plus is expected to get a few revisions as well. This list is likely to include new upholstery and colour themes, along with a revised touchscreen infotainment system. That said, the Hector will still retain the 5-seater layout, while the Hector Plus will get both 7-seater and 6-seater versions (with captain seats) depending on the variant.

In terms of the feature list, both the Hectors could get the revisions to the 14-inch unit with a revised user interface and faster processing speeds. Besides this, they are likely to continue with equipment such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, wireless chargers, ambient lighting and a digital instrument cluster.
