After launching the facelifted Hector in January 2021, MG Motor India is set to introduce a new mid-spec trim in the SUV’s lineup tomorrow. Called ‘Shine’, it will be positioned between the second-to-base Super and second-to-top Smart. We have now got our hands on its features, powertrains, and accessory details.

The Shine will get the same features as the Super along with the following extras: telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel, chrome outside door handles, push-button start/stop, electric parking brake, keyless entry using the smart key, and sunroof (new for Hector as it is not a panoramic unit). However, except for the sunroof, all other features are limited to the Shine CVT variant.

MG will offer a new Havana Grey paint option with all variants of the SUV, except for the base-spec Style. The Shine will also get its own accessories pack comprising leather seat covers, an air purifier, a wireless charger, 3D floor mats, leather wrap for the steering wheel, and window sunshades.

The MG Hector Shine will get both 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (143PS/250Nm) and 2-litre diesel engines (170PS/350Nm). A 6-speed manual will come as standard, and the turbo-petrol engine will also get an optional CVT. However, the petrol-hybrid setup and the DCT gearbox won’t feature on this new mid-spec trim.
