As such, prices of the diesel-powered SUV has increased by as much as Rs 45,000 over the BS4 models.

In its BSVI avatar, the Hector carries on using a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder Fiat-sourced MultiJet II diesel engine that develops 170 PS of max power and 350 Nm of peak torque. This engine still comes connected with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard gearbox option.

In the coming months, MG will bring on the three-row version of the Hector, named the Hector Plus in the domestic space. MG showcased the Hector Plus at the Auto Expo 2020, alongside a barrage of new vehicles like a full-sized SUV MG Gloster, the MG RC-6 executive sedan and a premium MPV.

Though the launch of MG Hector Plus and MG Gloster are lined up for this year, the ongoing global pandemic might or might not push the launch timeline of these SUVs to a later date.
