According to leaked images and teasers, the new Hector will have a whole new cabin layout, and perhaps a brand new 14-inch touchscreen interface. Other add-ons include a seven-inch digital driver's display, multi-colour ambient lighting, and more.

The midsize SUV will continue to run on the same engine options and won't undergo any mechanical alterations. A 48-volt mild hybrid system is connected to a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that generates 143PS and 250Nm. It will be mated to either an eight-speed CVT or a six-speed manual gearbox. The 2.0-liter diesel engine will still have 170PS and 350Nm, but it will only be offered temporarily with a six-speed manual transmission.

In recent news, an online leaked document suggests that the facelift will only be available in a single fully equipped trim, and the Hector Plus will follow suit. Having said that, the new MG Hector in its single fully equipped trim might cost Rs 18 lakh (ex-showroom). It will take on the Tata Harrier, Jeep Compass, Mahindra Scorpio N and XUV700.
