Recently, MG Motor has also opened the first official dealer meeting in which the new Hector came under the spotlight for the dealerships. In another movement, the company has already announced that MG dealers are on their ways to open the pre-booking scheme for the new SUV within next month onwards. Price for the MG Hector is estimated to sit in the range of Rs 15-20 Lakh (ex-showroom, India).
The pre-bookings for the all-new Hector will be started across MG's dealers in June 2019.
To remind, the all-new MG Hector will draw the energy output from a 143 hp 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine along with a 173 hp FCA-sourced 2.0-litre oil burner and both of which will be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission. Particularly, the turbo-petrol engine might get another option of a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission along with the standard 6-speed MT. Among other things, the petrol powertrain of the Hector will be supported by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and all that is pledged to be 12 per cent more frugal than the conventional petrol variant.
