MG Motor India has taken the wraps off the Hector Plus 6-seater SUV at Auto Expo 2020. It could be MG’s third car for India after the Hector 5-seater and ZS EV. The Hector Plus comes with a handful of changes that help it differentiate from the standard model. Let’s take a closer look, shall we? 

The biggest change in the Hector Plus is in the middle row. It comes with aircraft-style captain seats that replaces the standard model’s bench seats. Further, it comes with third row seats which improve its practicality. That said, boot space in the Hector 6-seater takes a hit as both models measure the same in all aspects.

Visually, the Hector Plus’ silhouette is identical to the standard model. However, it gets a handful of updated design elements that differentiate it from the standard model. The front end comes with a new grille, DRLs and LED headlamps. The Hector Plus' profile is similar to the current version while the rear now comes with new LED tail lamps and a sportier bumper. Overall, the design is far cleaner than the Hector 5-seater.
