    MG Motor is set to launch the Hector in the second half of June to take on other mid-size SUVs like the Jeep Compass, Tata Harrier, Mahindra XUV500 and the Hyundai Tucson. The Hector will be a five-seat SUV, but MG has plans to offer a seven-seater version as well in 2020.

    MG will announce the prices of the Hector in the second half of June and we expect it to be priced competitively, especially compared to the Tata Harrier. It will be offered with the same diesel engine that powers the Harrier and the Compass - a Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre unit. While the Compass is now available with an automatic gearbox and the Harrier set to receive a 6-speed auto ‘box sourced from Hyundai soon, the Hector diesel will only be available with a manual transmission.

    The Hector will also be available with a 1.5-litre petrol engine option with both manual and automatic transmission options. The company will also offer the Hector’s petrol engine with a 48V mild hybrid system, albeit with a manual transmission. There will be a total of four variants on offer: Style, Super, Smart and Sharp. We expect the base Style variant with the 1.5-litre petrol engine paired to the manual transmission to be priced at Rs 13 lakh. Other variants are likely to be priced as follows:

     

    Hector Style

    Hector Super

    Hector Smart

    Rs 16.61 lakh to Rs 21.33 lakh

    Rs 20.78 lakh

    Apart from featuring some features that are unique in the segment, the Hector’s powertrain options should offer comparable levels of performance when compared to its rivals. Expect the MG Hector to be priced competitively when compared to the Harrier and XUV500 and undercut the likes of the Hyundai Tucson and Mahindra XUV500.
