MG India are likely to showcase the Hector facelift SUV at the Auto Expo 2023. Let’s discuss the details like expected dimensions and engine specs, expected launch timeline, rivals and expected price of the MG Hector facelift.

Most Notable Features Of MG Hector Facelift

MG launched the Hector back in 2019 and it received a minor update in 2020. The carmaker are now ready to bring a major update for the SUV with a design overhaul and new features. The most impressive feature of the Hector facelift is going to be the inclusion of advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) features.

7.0-inch instrument cluster
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

MG Hector Facelift Expected Specs

In terms of engine options, the new Hector is likely to come with the same 1.5L turbo petrol and 2.0L turbo diesel powertrains as the current model. The 1.5L turbo petrol is likely to retain its manual and CVT-automatic options. Currently, the MG Hector with the 2.0L diesel engine only gets a 6-speed manual transmission. We do not expect MG to offer the Hector facelift with a diesel-automatic option any time soon. However, its rivals, such as the Tata Harrier, Mahindra XUV700 and Jeep Compass, offer the choice of a diesel-automatic powertrain.

MG Hector Facelift Rivals

MG Hector is a D1-segment SUV and its facelift will continue to rival other SUVs in the class like the Mahindra XUV700, Hyundai Alcazar, Toyota Innova Hycross and Tata Harrier.
