When was the MG Hector Plus launched?

MG launched the facelifted Hector Plus in India in January 2023 at the Auto Expo.

What variants does it get?

The MG Hector Plus is available in Style, Select Pro, Smart Pro, Sharp Pro, and Savvy Pro variants in both six- and seven-seater iterations.

What features are available in the MG Hector Plus?

Similar to the Hector facelift, the updated Hector Plus boasts a new fascia with a large chrome grille. There are no changes to the headlights and LED DRL units and even the silhouette remains unchanged. But the MPV still receives taillights with a revised signature. There's also a new exterior paint shade called Dune Brown. On the other hand, the 215/55 R18 wheels with the five-spoke dual-prong design have been retained.

The updated interior of the Hector Plus gets the white and black theme with some chrome elements from the Hector. The newest inclusion to the MPV's dashboard is a 14-inch touchscreen, which is upsized from the 10-inch display offered before. Like the Astor, the Hector Plus also gets a Level 2 ADAS suite with 11 features as a part of the assistance systems. Moreover, the carmaker has updated the in-car controllability for the infotainment system by adding more connected car features. Also, the Hinglish voice control suite has been improved upon. Another notable feature of the Hector Plus is the Bluetooth key that can be enabled via the brand's app.
