MG Motors will launch the Hector Plus in India in July and some dealerships have already started taking unofficial bookings. The company today announced the commencement of production of the Hector Plus in India.
The launch of the Hector Plus is just a few weeks away as MG Motors has already started commercial production of the Hector Plus in India. It is being manufactured at the company’s Halol plant in Gujarat and we had reported to you earlier that the SUV will see its market launch in July. MG Motors first showcased the Hector Plus at the 2020 Auto Expo and the SUV will also be offered in a new Starry Sky Blue paint shade which will be exclusive for the Hector Plus. And we must admit that this new paint shade really suits the SUV.
Essentially, the Hector Plus is a three-row version of the standard Hector which will come with two captain chairs for the middle row and an additional third row. Apart from extra seating, the Hector Plus also boasts of some styling changes. The Hector Plus gets a new grille which is much sleeker than before. The bumpers have also been revised and the main headlamp cluster has also been changed for a more angular look. The DRLs at the top too have been revised. At the rear, the tail lamps have been made sleeker with a new rear bumper and new dual-exit exhaust design. The LED light bar from the Hector that is positioned on the tailgate has been removed.
The 6-seater Hector has grown 40mm in length over the regular Hector. It however has the same wheelbase, width and height as the regular Hector. This increase in length can be attributed to the reworked rear bumper. On the inside, the dashboard remains fairly identical to the the standard Hector and you can expect an updated software for the 10.4-inch portrait touchscreen infotainment system and a new dual-tone dashboard layout. The top-spec variant will also feature a panoramic roof and MG’s in-car connectivity suite, just like the standard Hector.

The 6-seater Hector remians mechanically unchanged from the standard Hector. That means it will be powered by a 1.5 liter petrol engine, a 1.5 liter petrol-hybird engine and a 2.0 liter diesel engine. The engine specs of the petrol and diesel engine also remain identical to the standard Hector. The gearbox options are also expected to be identical – all three engines come with a 6-speed manual, while the petrol models also get a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic as an option.
