MG has jus launched the new 7-seat variant of its Hector Plus SUV, aiming to gain strong sales right from the start of the new year. We have this walkaround video detailing the new updates to the vehicle.

MG Motors finally entered the Indian auto market in June 2019 with the Hector. The SUV has been met with a positive response from buyers and MG quickly followed it up with new products like the ZS EV, Hector Plus six-seater and the Gloster full-size SUV. But after an initial boost in sales, the Hector and six-seater Plus variants’ sales have tapered off somewhat, with the 2020 Hyundai Creta and the Kia Seltos taking the sales lead in recent times. In a bid to garner interest to the brand in the new calendar year, MG Motors today launched the facelifted version of the Hector. In addition to the six-seater Hector Plus, a fully-fledged seven-seater version has been added to the range as well. Today we have a walkaround video of the new 7-seat MG Hector Plus.
