MG Hector Plus Starts Reaching Dealerships Ahead Of Launch

A new set of spy photos confirm that the soon-to-be-launched MG Hector Plus has now started reaching dealership stockyards, indicating that the company has commenced despatches of the SUV. The three-row version of the MG Hector was already supposed to be on sale in India by now, however, the coronavirus pandemic and the resultant lockdown forced Morris Garages India to postpone the launch. The SUV is currently expected to be launched in July 2020. First unveiled at the 2020 Auto Expo, the new Hector Plus will mainly compete with the upcoming Tata Gravitas, which itself is the 3-row version of the Harrier.
