Front and rear LED lighting integrated with dynamic indicators

The MG Hector is the first-ever car in the segment to come with LED headlights in the front as well as LED fog lights and LED taillights in the rear. Even the turn indicators integrated with the outside rearview mirrors are LED units. The headlights feature a split-headlight layout, which means that grille is flanked by the LED DRLS and the main headlights are positioned on the pumper. The number of the LED DRLs has also been doubled to serve as dynamic indicators. A light bar runs across the boot and connects the taillight units.

Front parking sensors

Almost all cars today are equipped with rear parking sensors as a method to adhere to the forthcoming safety standards. To make the parking job of the large SUV much simpler, the Hector also comes with front parking sensors, which have yet to be offered by any of its rivals.

Heated ORVMs

MG Motors have the ORVMs on the Hector heated, thanks to which, the visibility in the rainy and cold weather is enhanced. The ORVMs can also be electronically folded and adjusted.

Powered tailgate

The MG Hector gets a quite large powered tailgate which can be opened and closed easily by pressing a button. Do not mistake it for a hands-free tailgate, which can be automatically controlled as long as the key is within a particular distance from the tailgate.

Some of the exterior features of the MG Hector will be for the first time equipped on the SUV.

Internet connectivity with OTA updates

Once launched, the Hector will be the first SUV to come with inbuilt Internet connectivity through a SIM card with more than 50 features. Being connected to the Internet means that MG can offer over-the-air (OTA) software updates on the Hector. Moreover, now Gofencing, which will send a warning whenever the car leaves the area preset by the driver is also available on this SUV. The Hector is also equipped with a mobile application via which some basic functions like the air conditioner, the door and the sunroof can be remotely controlled.

10.4-inch HD touchscreen system

The 10.4-inch vertically-oriented HD touchscreen offered on the MG Hector is the largest infotainment unit in the segment. The system can support numerous connectivity features such as satellite navigation system, the AccuWeather, Gaana, etc.

The MG Hector will come with the widest infotainment touchscreen in the segment.

Electrically adjustable front passenger seat

The MG Hector is also packed with a powered 4-way adjustable co-driver seat. In the meanwhile, the driver seat can also be electrically adjusted but in six ways. These contribute to a pleasant travelling experience for both the driver and the front passenger.

Three-point seatbelts for all the five occupants

Once launched, the MG Hector will be the first-ever car in the segment to come with three-point seatbelts for all five passengers by integrating the seatbelt in the middle seat with the backrest on the second seat row. In the meanwhile, all other SUVs on the Indian market offers a lap belt in the second row for the middle seat.

Eight-colour ambient lighting system

An eight-colour ambient lighting system is equipped on the MG Hector to give it a premium feel. Some of its rivals are also given this feature but not with as many colour options as the MG’s upcoming SUV.

48V mild-hybrid technology

The mild-hybrid system is only offered with the Hector petrol variant. It is claimed by MG Motors that this technology will help the fuel mileage increase by 12% and the emission reduce by 11% in comparison with the regular petrol variant. The mild-hybrid system also helps increase the torque output by 20 Nm at low speeds. This helps the car avoid turbo lag and accelerate more easily from a standstill in city travelling.

The mild-hybrid system will help the MG Hector enhance its performance.
