MG Motor India has increased the prices for the Hector SUV, with the price hike ranging between Rs 27,000 to Rs 61,000. Additionally, MG has reintroduced the Shine trim to the Hector line-up that sits just above the base Style trim, and is available with all existing powertrain options.

This is the first price hike for the Hector range since the launch of the facelifted model in January this year.

MG Hector prices hiked

As you can see in the table above, the price for the base Style 1.5-litre petrol-MT has gone up by Rs 27,000, while prices for all other petrol variants have gone up by a uniform Rs 36,000. Meanwhile, the diesel variants see a more significant price hike of Rs 61,000 each.

MG Hector Shine launched

With this update, MG has also brought back the Shine trim to the Hector line-up that was available with the pre-facelift model, but was not offered with the facelift at launch.

Bridging the gap between the Style and Smart trims, the Shine trim gets several additional features over the base model such as a reverse parking camera, an electronic parking brake (CVT only), LED headlamps and tail lamps, fog lamps, 17-inch alloy wheels, 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control and a single pane sunroof.

However, features such as the connected LED tail-lights, larger 18-inch wheels, voice commands, remote and connected car tech only come in from the Smart trim.

MG Hector powertrain options

There have been no mechanical updates to the Hector line-up. That means it continues with the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine that is available with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. This unit produces 143hp and 250Nm of peak torque. The diesel engine also remains the same 170hp, 350Nm, 2.0-litre unit, and is offered only with a manual gearbox.

MG Hector Plus prices hiked

MG has also hiked prices of the 6- and 7-seater Hector Plus SUV. The price hike ranges between Rs 36,000-Rs 76,000, although there’s no introduction of the Shine trim on the Hector Plus. There’s also no change to the powertrain line-up, and it continues to be shared with the 5-seater Hector. Here’s a detailed look at how the prices for the Hector Plus have gone up.
