The MG Hector has been around since 2019 and received its first facelift in 2023. It’s been nearly three years since then, so MG has given the Hector a second facelift as the SUV heads into its seventh year on sale. Let’s delve into the 2026 Hector facelift line-up and everything the midsize SUV offers.

It’s worth noting that MG has disclosed prices only for the petrol variants of the 2026 Hector and Hector Plus, with diesel pricing to be revealed next year.
Petrol and diesel engines continue as is
To that end, the 2026 Hector is powered by the same engine options as the previous model: a 143hp, 250Nm 1.5-litre petrol and a 170hp, 350Nm 2.0-litre diesel. The petrol mill can be had with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic, while the diesel engine is offered solely with the 6-speed manual gearbox.

Five exterior monotone colours
The 2026 Hector facelift adds two new exterior colour options to the line-up: Celadon Blue and Pearl White. Three other colours, namely Aurora Silver, Glaze Red and Starry Black, have been retained from the pre-facelift Hector. It should be noted that MG is only offering monotone colours for the 2026 Hector facelift at the moment.
New grey and tan interior finishes
