Moreover, we can also expect the addition of ADAS in terms of safety.
Specifications
MG Hector 2022 is expected to retain the same powertrain options. 1.5-turbo petrol engine that makes 139bhp & 250Nm of torque would mostly continue to be on offer. Currently, this engine can also be availed with 48V mild hybrid tech for more efficiency. Could the hybrid tech see an upgrade? Only time will tell.

This price difference could result in MG selling the new Hector along with the current one. Only time will reveal what the brand plans to do with the Hector nameplate.
