Top 5 things about the Hector Plus in 2020

MG, the British car manufacturer in India was quite successful with Hector. The car was an arch-rival to Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos and proved to be a tough competition. Sales figures are also consistent and connected car technology makes it stand out. The company also recently launched a 6-seater version of the MG Hector known as the Hector Plus. The MG Hector Plus costs between Rs.13.48 to Rs.18.53 lakh. Read below about Top 5 things about Hector Plus.

1)Exteriors

The exteriors of the car have been redesigned to accommodate six seats in the interiors of the car. The front look of the car looks appealing and interesting. Minor tweaks have been made to differentiate it from the MG Hector. Both the cars are priced quite near to each other too.

Anyone who was compromising with a 5-seater MG Hector can easily upgrade to a six-seater MG Hector Plus.  This new model radiates road presence and will surely make heads turn. The front grille is quite similar to its sibling and many exterior features look similar too. MG also give you the option to use car configurator to make the car as flashy as per your requirement. 

2)Interiors

The middle row captain seats are the most drastic changes here. The third row features bench seats and can easily seat two average-sized persons. You get rear AC, charging socket, arm-rest and much more for comfort and accessibility. The seats come with brown coloured leather which makes the car look more premium and plush. 

Large windows make the cabin more airy and large.  Panaromic sunroof is also present which is a favourite feature for Indian car buyers. Shark fin antenna and roof rails add to the sportiness of the car.

3)Engine and Performance

The MG Hector Plus comes with two engine and transmission options as below. Both the engines are BS6 compliant. Clutch heaviness is still a probable issue here. The issue, however, heavily depends on varying factors.

Safety

Safety should be one of the most important parameters in car-buying decisions. Hector Plus Safety features include 3 point Seatbelts, 360-degree camera, ABS+EBD+Brake assist, Cornering front fog lamps and Electronic parking brake. Additional safety features include  ESP, Front and Rear parking sensor,  Hill hold control, Rear Disc brakes and Rear defogger. 

Connected car tech

MG is calling the new connected car tech features as i-SMART. These features include Chit-Chat voice Interaction*, Free OTA updates, Geo-Fence, Premium Gaana membership, Voice recognition and Vehicle status checker. These additional features make it a lucrative offer and may attract a large number of tech-savvy consumers.  You also get Smart Driver Information in this car

All in all, this car is a well-made six-seater with emphasis put on middle seat comfort. A lot of its elements are shared with MG Hector Plus which keep its production costs low. Connected Car tech and other additional features may be considered as a strong point. The new Tata Gravitas which is set to launch soon will rival the MG Hector Plus.
