The situation has been dreadful these days and thus, a delay was expected in the launch of these cars. But, the MG Motors is on its toes to make these cars reach the dealerships as quickly as possible. The Hector Plus will be launched with the same powertrains as the the Hector, which is offered with 2 engine options – 1.5L petrol and 2.0L FCA-sourced diesel. The Hector Plus will go up against the likes of the upcoming Tata Gravitas and the 7-seater version of the Hyundai Creta.

The larger Gloster, on the other hand, will be a premium offering from the Chinese-owned British brand and will compete against the likes of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Jeep Grand Cherokee. In terms of dimensions, the Gloster measures 5,005 mm in length, 1,932 mm in width, and 1,850 mm in height. These massive proportions of the Gloster will help it with humongous road presence.
