MG Hector Plus Launch: Price Expectation

MG Motor India is all set to launch the Hector Plus SUV in India and this will be the company's third SUV in the country. The six seater SUV will be slotted above the Hector SUV and probably below the ZS EV and it will hit the sweet spot as far as bringing in a three row SUV into the country. The Hector Plus is 65mm longer the 5-seater SUV. Last month, the company initiated production of the SUV at its Halol plant in Gujarat. The carmaker is leaving no stone unturned to create a buzz for the upcoming SUV. It will be offered in three trims - Super, Smart and Sharp and each and every variant will be filled to the brim with features. The SUV will be priced aggressively, and we expect it to be priced between Rs. 17 lakh – Rs. 19 lakh, but you can rely on MG Motor India to offer the new offering at an introductory price.
