MG Motor India has officially introduced the 2025 Hector facelift along with the updated Hector Plus facelift, refreshing its popular mid-size SUV lineup. The new versions bring visual enhancements, interior upgrades, and a long list of features while maintaining the strong value proposition the Hector is known for. Bookings are now open across India, with deliveries expected to begin shortly.
Pricing Details
The refreshed MG Hector range starts at ₹11.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the five-seat version. The larger Hector Plus, available in six- and seven-seat layouts, begins at ₹17.29 lakh, with prices extending up to ₹19.49 lakh for fully loaded variants. The pricing positions the Hector competitively within the crowded mid-size SUV segment.
Exterior Refresh: Bolder and More Premium
The 2025 facelift gives the Hector a more commanding road presence. A redesigned, larger grille with chrome accents dominates the front, while the familiar split LED lighting setup remains. Updated bumpers and newly styled 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels add to the SUV’s refreshed look.
MG has also expanded the colour palette with new shades such as Celadon Blue and Pearl White, offering buyers more visual variety.
Interior Updates Focus on Comfort
Inside, the Hector continues to prioritise space and comfort, now enhanced with new colour themes. The five-seater model adopts an Ice Grey dual-tone cabin, while the Hector Plus features a more premium Urban Tan and Black interior. Improved seat cushioning with added under-thigh support enhances long-distance comfort.
The dashboard layout feels modern thanks to gloss black accents and layered design elements, anchored by the large 14-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen infotainment system.
Feature-Rich and Tech-Forward
The facelifted Hector range remains one of the most feature-packed SUVs in its class. Key highlights include:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated and powered front seats
- Wireless phone charging
- Multi-colour ambient lighting
- Air purifier
- Push-button start
- Powered tailgate
- Cruise control
- Premium Infinity sound system
Safety is equally well covered, with features such as six airbags, electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, and Level-2 ADAS available across variants.
Engine and Transmission Options
Both the Hector and Hector Plus facelift are powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 143 PS and 250 Nm of torque. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual and a CVT automatic, catering to both enthusiast and comfort-focused drivers. MG has confirmed that diesel variants are planned for a later stage.
Rivals in the Segment
With this update, the MG Hector lineup continues to compete against strong rivals such as the Tata Harrier, Tata Safari, Mahindra Scorpio N, Mahindra XUV700, and Hyundai Alcazar. Each offers unique strengths, but the Hector stands out for its technology-led approach and spacious cabin.
Final Verdict
The 2025 MG Hector and Hector Plus facelift focus on refinement rather than reinvention. With refreshed styling, improved interior comfort, advanced technology, and competitive pricing, MG has ensured the Hector remains a strong contender in India’s mid-size SUV market.
For buyers looking for a spacious, feature-rich SUV with a premium feel, the updated Hector range continues to make a strong case.
