Updated Design With Subtle Tweaks
The Hector facelift retains its bold road presence while introducing a handful of visual updates to keep things contemporary. Up front, the SUV gets a redesigned grille featuring a new hexagonal mesh pattern, giving it a sharper and more premium look. The bumper design remains largely unchanged, but dual-tone wheel arch cladding and refreshed side claddings add a touch of contrast.
The lighting setup continues with the familiar split LED headlamp and DRL arrangement, while the rear still sports connected LED tail-lamps. MG has also introduced newly styled 18-inch alloy wheels and added fresh exterior shades, including Celadon Blue and Pearl White, to liven up the colour palette.
Cabin Upgrades And New Tech
Inside, the Hector facelift focuses heavily on technology and comfort. The cabin now comes with a new dual-tone Urban Tan interior theme that enhances its premium appeal. The highlight remains the large 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which now supports gesture-based controls. Two-finger gestures can be used to operate the climate control, while three-finger gestures manage audio functions like volume and track changes.
Other notable features include digital auto key functionality, proximity-based locking and unlocking, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, redesigned horizontal AC vents, and an Infinity by Harman audio system. MG is also offering five-, six and seven-seat layouts to cater to different buyer needs. Additionally, the infotainment system gets expandable VRAM support of up to 10GB for smoother performance.

The updated Hector is offered in six variants. Four are five-seater trims - Style, Select Pro, Smart, and Smart Pro - while the Savvy Pro and Sharp Pro variants are available with a seven-seat layout.
