MG Hector Achieves 10,000 Production Milestone In India
MG Motor India recently rolled out the 10,000 unit of the MG Hector from its plant at Halo in Gujarat. It’s been four months the SUV’s arrival in the market and it has crossed over 42,000 booking mark. Due to its high demand, the British carmaker had temporarily stopped taking pre-orders for the SUV.

The British carmaker recently rolled out the first ever over-the-air (OTA) software update for the MG Hector’s infotainment system. Currently, prices of the SUV start from Rs 12.48 lakh for the entry-level variant, and go up to Rs 17.28 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.
The MG Hector comes with four engine-gearbox combinations – a 141bhp, 1.5L turbo petrol with manual and DCT automatic transmission, a 168bhp, 2.0L diesel with a manual gearbox and a 1.5L turbo petrol-hybrid with a manual transmission. Read – MG Hector Facelift Revealed
