*Introductory pricing

The MG Hector Plus is pricier by up to Rs 65,000 over the standard model depending on the variant you pick. Moreover, these are introductory prices and post August 13, prices of all variants will become dearer by up to Rs 50,000. 

In terms of design, the MG Hector Plus looks largely similar to the standard model. The excessive chrome plated plastic elements have thankfully been removed from the bumpers and tailgate, making it a lot easier on the eye. Also new are the redesigned headlamps, LED DRLs and tail lamps, giving it a slightly distinct look over the standard model. 

The Hector Plus comes with a new swipe-to-open tailgate feature. It also gets a 10.4-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car technology, panoramic sunroof, powered front seats, cruise control, climate control, coloured multi-info display and ambient lighting. On the safety front, it gets six airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera and electronic stability control. For a detailed variant-wise feature list, head here.

The Hector Plus is offered with three powertrain options: a 170PS 2.0-litre diesel, a 143PS 1.5-litre petrol, and a 143PS 1.5-litre hybrid. The hybrid unit packs in an electric motor that offers torque boost under hard acceleration. A 6-speed manual gearbox is offered with the hybrid and diesel variant while the petrol engine is offered with a DCT only.

The MG Hector Plus will lock horns with the Mahindra XUV500, Toyota Innova Crysta, and the upcoming Tata Gravitas.
