MG’s upcoming 6-seater Hector SUV has been spotted testing on Indian roads. The spy shots reveal various details about the upcoming SUV including its interior and seating layout. The MG Hector 6-seater will be the third SUV from MG Motor India and is expected to debut at Auto Expo 2020.
The latest spy shots reveal the interior of the India-spec 6-seater Hector for the first time. As expected, it comes with individual captain seats that replace the bench seat in the 5-seater version. It’s also the first Hector to come with third-row seats in India. However, the inclusion of the third row compromise boot space as both models utilise the same wheelbase.
The dashboard of the 6-seater Hector is expected to be similar to the 5-seater version. It’s expected to share the standard Hector’s long feature list. Noted equipment includes a 10.4-inch infotainment system, i-SMART connected car technology, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, cruise control, a coloured multi-info display as well as a panoramic sunroof.

Outside, the MG Hector 6-seater will come with revamped styling to differentiate it from the 5-seater model. Styling updates include a revamped grille, new headlamps, tail lamps and a different set of alloy wheels. The upcoming SUV could get a different name for further differentiation.
The MG Hector 6-seater is expected to borrow its powertrains from the standard model. So expect a 2.0-litre diesel, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol mated to a 48V mild-hybrid system. All three powertrain options are expected to be upgraded to BS6 emission norms soon. Here’s a detailed spec table:

The Hector 6-seater is expected to debut in India at Auto Expo 2020. Expect it to command a premium of Rs 1 lakh over the current model which starts from Rs 12.48 lakh (ex-showroom India). The MG Hector 6-seater will lock horns with the Mahindra XUV500 and upcoming Tata Gravitas.
