MG Hector is seeing an unexpected growing demand. A used MG Hector is for sale at a higher price than a new car.

MG Hector was launched in June. The car was warmly welcomed by Indian customers. The sales of MG Hector have skyrocketed ever since its launch, to the point that MG Motor cannot meet the surging demand. It has caused MG Motor to freeze the booking for its newly-launched SUV. Even when the British carmaker confirmed to stop receiving bookings for the MG Hector, many customers are willing to wait until next year to get a new Hector. While the booking for the MG Hector is put on the stop, the used car market is starting to see some MG Hector offers. On the contrary to what you might think about used cars, at the moment, a used MG Hector can actually cost more than a brand new unit. Recently, a used Hector was listed for sale on an online car listing site at the price that is 6 lakh higher than the showroom price. Before this car, there was another almost-new MG Hector available at the asking price of Rs 21 lakh against the showroom price of Rs 16 lakh.

On the feature front, as a top-spec model, the MG comes with all the bells and whistles. The features available on the MG Hector includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AI support.
