MG Hector Plus Bookings Commence, Specs Revealed

The 6-seater variant of the MG Hector Plus gets new headlights and the grille is revised as well

With its launch nearing, MG Hector Plus bookings commence in India. Booking amount for the 6-seater SUV has been set at Rs. 50,000/- and can be made online.

In terms of styling, the MG Hector Plus is similar to the 5-seater version, but there are differences between the two.

There is a large grille at the front with new LED headlights with floating indicators and DRLs that are integrated into the revised bumper.

The side profile is where the length of the car can be seen, while the rear profile is entirely new. The tailgate and the bumper have been redesigned and the tail lamps are revised as well. The red strip that ran across the taillights has been deleted.

The biggest difference on the inside, apart from the presence of a third row of seats, is the brown leatherette upholstery and the second row has captain seats with recline facility and arm rests.
