MG Hector SUV Unveiled In India; Launch In June 2019
Key Highlights
  • The MG Hector will mark MG Motor's entry in the Indian car market.
  • The Hector is a five-seater SUV and is equipped with connected car tech.
  • Both petrol and diesel engines will be on offer.

MG Motor India showcased the Hector SUV in India and it's the first time we get to see the car in the flesh. Of course, there are a lot of details that have been revealed about the car ahead of its launch and we have them all. The MG Hector will be launched in India in June this year. It looks big and it is even in the flesh. It's 4655mm long, 1835 mm wide and 1760 mm tall. The MG Hector SUV gets a butch looking front which is dominated by a massive black mesh grille with sleek chrome surroundings. MG Motor has also adopted a new design for the face where the headlamp assembly is mounted in the bumper and the daytime running lights (DRLs) sit right on top, close to the hood. The new design is gaining prominence globally. The side of the MG Hector looks bulky and shoulder line doesn't remain pronounced at the rear. The overhangs also aren't tight and that would make cutting through the city traffic a bit difficult. The rear of the Hector, however, looks more curvaceous and the tapering rear windscreen adds to the appeal. The gloss black plastic element falling right under the spoiler's edge loo good as well.

6fpjtauoUp front, it gets projector headlamps and the fog lamps are underneath.

The use of chrome overall is subtle and the colour of plastic claddings blends with the paint shade rather than contrasting too much. Up front, it also gets projector headlamps and the fog lamps are underneath. Both the units come into a frame surrounded by the tall c-shaped chrome integrand. Both headlamps are also conjoined by a two-slat plastic bar below which is the wide faux-silver skid plate housing a relatively large centre air-dam. Going with the simple side profile, there aren't too much elements either. There is a fine chrome line right above the break over angle and it gets dual-tone alloy wheels which look modern. Moreover, there are silver roof rails and a first-in-segment panoramic sunroof. At the rear, there is a massive plastic cladding which adds to the proportions without looking odd. It also integrates the silver skid plate the colour of which is a bit too contrasting. There's also a sleek chrome bar above the license plate area.
