MG Motor India has refreshed one of its most popular SUVs, and yes—the MG Hector Facelift is finally on Indian roads. Starting at ₹11.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated Hector isn’t trying to reinvent itself. Instead, it focuses on what Indian buyers already love—road presence, comfort, tech, and safety—while adding small but meaningful upgrades that make daily driving feel more premium and future-ready.
Familiar Look, But Sharper and More Premium Now
At first glance, the Hector facelift looks familiar, but spend a few minutes around it and the updates start to stand out. MG has subtly refined the design rather than going overboard. The front grille looks bolder, the LED lighting elements feel sharper, and the overall stance continues to scream “big SUV”—something Indian buyers clearly love.
The size and proportions remain unchanged, which is actually good news. The Hector still feels commanding on the road, especially in city traffic and highways. MG’s focus here is clear: don’t fix what isn’t broken—just polish it.
Cabin Updates That Focus on Comfort and Daily Usability
Step inside, and the Hector facelift feels more mature. The layout is familiar, but the materials, finish, and overall ambience feel more premium now. MG has clearly listened to customer feedback and refined the cabin experience.
The large touchscreen remains the highlight, but the interface feels smoother and easier to use. Seat comfort continues to be one of Hector’s strongest points, especially for long drives. There’s plenty of legroom and headroom, making it a comfortable choice for families. In short, the cabin feels designed for real Indian usage, not just showroom appeal.
Smarter Tech That Actually Feels Useful
MG has always pushed the Hector as a tech-forward SUV, and the facelift carries that reputation forward. The updated infotainment system supports connected car features that help with navigation, vehicle tracking, and remote functions.
Voice commands, smartphone connectivity, and digital displays make the driving experience more intuitive. Importantly, the tech doesn’t feel gimmicky—it’s practical. Whether you’re stuck in traffic or cruising on a highway, the Hector’s tech works quietly in the background, making things easier without demanding attention.
Same Reliable Engine Options, Tuned for Smooth Driving
Mechanically, MG hasn’t changed much—and that’s not a bad thing. The Hector facelift continues with petrol and diesel engine options, both known for smooth performance rather than aggressive sportiness.
The petrol engine is ideal for city users who want refinement, while the diesel still makes sense for highway-heavy users. The focus remains on comfort, stability, and ease of driving. If you’re someone who values relaxed cruising over fast launches, the Hector’s driving character will suit you well.
Safety Still Gets Priority in the Facelift
Safety remains a key talking point. The Hector facelift comes loaded with essential safety features that Indian buyers expect today. Multiple airbags, stability control, hill-hold assist, and driver assistance features make it feel reassuring behind the wheel.
MG’s approach is simple: give buyers peace of mind without making safety feel complicated. Whether you’re driving in crowded city roads or on long highway trips, the Hector continues to feel stable and predictable.
