MG Hector

Hector Latest Update

The MG Hector will be the British carmaker’s first offering in the Indian market when it goes on sale in June 2019. It is a mid-size SUV that will take on the likes of the Jeep Compass, Mahindra XUV500, Hyundai Tucson and the upcoming Tata Harrier. The MG SUV will be based on the 530 SUV from Baojun, another brand under SAIC’s umbrella. So expect it to better its rivals on the dimensions front. MG Motor has already confirmed that this SUV will be powered by a 2.0-litre engine, which will be shared with the Jeep Compass. There will also be a petrol engine on offer, but MG Motor is yet to reveal any detail about it. Read more about the Hector here. 

Thanks to some test mules we have a fair idea of what the SUV will offer on the features front. It is expected to get a first-in-segment 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system along with features like inbuilt internet connectivity and a panoramic sunroof. Initially, MG will launch the Hector in a 5-seater variant only. However, a 7-seater Hector is also expected to go on sale in India later.
