How many MG Hector Plus variants are available?
Five in total.
A total of five Hector Plus variants are up for grabs: Style, Select Pro, Smart Pro, Sharp Pro and Savvy Pro. The Hector Plus is also available with Snowstorm and Blackstorm editions featuring exterior and interior cosmetic upgrades. The MG SUV gets two engine options: a 143hp, 250Nm, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and a 170hp, 350Nm, 2.0-litre diesel. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, but only the Hector Plus petrol trims can be paired with a CVT automatic.
What are the MG Hector Plus features?
14-inch touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, Level 2 ADAS.
The top-spec Hector Plus packs in features like LED projector headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, connected tail-lights, and a lot more. Interestingly, the facelifted Hector siblings look identical, unlike the pre-facelift versions that were slightly differentiated.
The interior has a portrait-oriented 14-inch touchscreen that features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto paired to an 8-speaker Infinity sound system. Then, there’s a 7-inch driver’s display, ventilated front seats, wireless charger, ambient lights and a PM 2.5 air purifier. Coming to the safety kit, there's Level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, an electronic parking brake, all four disc brakes and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
Is the MG Hector Plus a 7 seater?
Both 6- and 7-seat layout options.
An area where the Hector Plus stands out from the five-seater Hector SUV is seating configurations. The Hector Plus Style, Sharp Pro and Savvy Pro trims are available in both 6- and 7-seat options, while the Smart Pro and Select Pro are exclusively sold as 6 and 7 seaters, respectively.
How's the MG Hector Plus' rear seat experience like?
Well cushioned, no dearth of legroom.
Second-row seat comfort is impressive, with well-judged cushioning that makes it ideal for those who prefer to be chauffeur-driven. In our pre-facelift Hector Plus review, what really stood out was the sheer amount of legroom on offer. Coming to the third row, we found it was best suited for children. Additionally, the knees-up seating and upright backrest limit it for occasional use. When not in use, these 50:50 split seats can be folded down to open up boot space.
