MG Motor India has kick started bookings for the Hector Plus in India which confirms that the launch of the vehicle is just around the corner. For customers looking to buy the SUV, the company has opened bookings for Rs. 50,000 and that can be paid online. We've already told you all there is to know about the car, ever since we first saw it at the Auto Expo 2020. Well, there's new information that MG Motor India has now come out with and this includes the features that are on offer and also the powertrain options that it will now come with.

Let's begin with the features. Yes, the MG Hector Plus, will be a connected car and will boast of the same 10.24 touchscreen infotainment system as in the 5-seater Hector. The Hector Plus will come with the iSmart connected car technology and will boast of more than 55 features. It also comes with what MG calls a ‘Smart Swipe' system, which basically is a hand-free way of opening the tailgate, by swiping your leg underneath the rear bumper. Now this is not a new feature in India, but certainly the first time we'll see one in an MG car in  the country.
