Instagram user unchasables has posted a spy shot of
the MG Hector that gives the clearest look at its front fascia yet,
particularly the grille design and the light setup. It is worth noting that
unlike the Baojun, Wuling and Chevrolet versions, the MG version features twin
headlights.

Hector will feature 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, LED projector headlights
and Audi-style dynamic LED turn signals. While the SUV will get the largest in
class panoramic sunroof in the top-spec variant, the lower trims will be
equipped with a single sunroof. Furthermore, taking the ‘largest in class’
title to another level, the source report claims that the MG Hector will
feature a ‘largest in India’ 10.4-inch touchscreen display for the infotainment
system that will control the HVAC as well.
The Hector will come equipped with features like
360-degree camera, Harman Infinity audio system, six-way power adjustable
driver’s seat, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system, push-button
start, and keyless entry. The music system will comprise four speakers, four
tweeters, and a subwoofer. Steering-mounted audio and telephony controls will
be standard across the variants. The Hector is expected to feature premium
interiors with soft-touch materials, while the car will receive leather
upholstery as well. The MG Hector will reportedly be launched in the second
quarter of 2019.
Safety features on the MG Hector will include two
airbags, four-wheel disc brakes, ABS with EBD, brake assist and an electronic
parking brake as standard, while the top-spec trims will feature at least six
airbags. The Hector will be powered by a Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine
and a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol motor, both of which will be mated to a 6-speed
manual gearbox, while an automatic transmission will also be available. Both
the engine will reportedly produce 170 bhp.
