In India, MG Motors will introduce the facelifted model of their SUV, the MG Hector. Rumours do suggest that the car will be launched before the end of 2022.

Recently, MG Hector was seen in the brilliant red colour choice totally unveiled, and it appears that the front has undergone the most significant alterations. The SUV sports a large diamond grille up front, which is surrounded by dual-barrel headlights and LED DRLs that are mounted in the same spot as the present model.

In addition, we can see the ADAS sensor, front parking sensors, and front camera, all of which we anticipated to be present on the new Hector. The current alloy wheels are likewise the same, giving the SUV the same side appearance.

The 2022 Hector is not anticipated to receive any significant powertrain changes in India. Similar to the existing SUV, it should have the same 143PS 1.5-litre turbo petrol ICE, 143PS 1.5-liter petrol mild-hybrid, and 170PS 2-liter diesel powertrains. A CVT automatic transmission is an option for the ICE-only petrol powertrain, but a 6-speed manual gearbox is standard for the mild hybrid diesel and gasoline engines.

The MG Hector's interior has a revolutionary dashboard design, the first 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the sector, a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, touch controls for the air conditioning, an automatic parking brake, an engine start-stop button, and more. Similar to its predecessor model, the SUV is anticipated to include all the bells and whistles.

The MG Hector could make its debut by the end of the year or possibly the early weeks of 2023.
