The MG Hector is one of the largest cars in its segment, and for the price at which it’s sold, the SUV offers great value. In fact, the Hector is the best seller in its segment thanks to the spacious interiors, the large size, and of course a cabin that’s stuffed with features. Of particular interest to most buyers is the Tesla-style infotainment tablet that dominates the center console of the SUV.

Other key features on the MG Hector include the panoramic sunroof, engine start alarm and an in-car voice alert for critical tyre pressure, a voice recognition system that responds to 35+ Hinglish commands and safety features such as Electronic Stability Program, Traction Control, Hill Hold Control, Rear Wiper & Washer and Rear Defogger. Of course, 6 airbags and ABS+EBD are offered on the higher variants while even the base variants get ABS, twin airbags, reverse parking sensors, speed alerts and seat belt reminder as basic safety kit.

The Hector sold in India gets three seating layouts: 5 seats with captain seats at front and bench seat in the middle, 6 seats with captain seats for the first and second rows, and a bench for the third row, and 7 seats with captain seats at front, and two rows of bench seats. Apart from the Hector, MG Motor also sells the ZS electric vehicle and the Gloster luxury SUV in the Indian market. The MG Hector is built at the erstwhile General Motors factory in Halol, Gujarat, which was taken over by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, a state-owned Chinese automaker, which in turns owns British brand MG Motor.
