Changes to the cabin are expected to be largely limited to dual-tone upholstery replacing the all-dark theme of the outgoing Hector, while knowing MG Motors OTA update cycle, software tweaks should be expected as well.
First launched in India in Sept 2019, the Hector facelift arrives with subtle, but crucial, updates. Exterior updates include a revised grille, redone trim, and most importantly, 18-inch wheels, which helps elevate the side profile of the large SUV.
