MG HECTOR LAUNCH AROUND THE CORNER; TATA HARRIER AND MAHINDRA XUV500 RIVAL

THE MG HECTOR IS LIKELY TO SPORT A PRICE TAG IN-BETWEEN THE RANGE OF INR 12 LAKH TO INR 18 LAKH, HENCE, COMPETING AGAINST TATA HARRIER AND MAHINDRA XUV500.

The launch of the MG Hector is right around the corner. It is going to be the British automaker’s first car in the Indian market. According to our estimations, the prices of this SUV are likely to fall in-between the range of INR 12 lakh to INR 18 lakh. With this, it becomes quite obvious that it is going to compete against the likes of Tata Harrier and the Mahindra XUV500.

Though a little late to the party, the Hector will have several tricks up its sleeve to mark its entrance. The most important of these is going to be its sheer size. Going by the spy shots and considering the fact that it is based on the Baojun 530, the Hector is going to be the largest vehicle in its segment.

The MG Hector is going to get a panoramic sunroof, a vertical infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, LED day time running lights, projector headlamps to name a few. We are expecting this vehicle to offer a decent array of safety features as well.
