It comes with captain seats for the middle row occupants. It’s also the first Hector in India to come with a third row of seats.

Engine and Mileage
rnUnder the hood, the MG Hector Plus comes with three engine options: a 170PS 2.0-liter diesel, a 143PS 1.5-liter petrol and a 143PS 1.5-litre mild-hybrid.rnrnPowering the Hector Plus will likely be the same BS6-compliant petrol and diesel engines. These include the 170hp/350Nm, 2.0-liter diesel engine, 143hp/250Nm, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol motor, and 1.5-liter petrol unit with a 48V mild-hybrid system. Gearbox options are also expected to be identical: All three engines come with a 6-speed manual, while gasoline models also have a 7-speed dual automatic transmission as an option.rn
Features
rnAlthough Hector Plus doesn't look much different compared to the regular Hector, it still features a number of design tweaks that help distinguish it from its stable. These include thicker DRLs, the full black grille, modified front bumper design, new headlight design, and set of fog lamps, retreaded headlights, new rear bumper, and new dual exhaust design. The LED strip light has been removed from Hector on the tailgate. The additional length of 40mm is shown above the 5-seat Héctor when viewed from the side, where the rear bumper is larger.rn
Interiors
rnThe most important talking point inside is the new seating configurations, where both MG Hector Plus will be offered, 6 seats with captain's seats in the second row, and 7 seats with a regular-style seat in the second row.rnrn
rnrnBesides this, the Hector Plus’ cabin is also expected to get mild cosmetic tweaks, along with updated software for the 10.4-inch portrait touchscreen infotainment system with an eSIM for connected car technology, 360-degree camera, up to six airbags, powered front seats, and a powered tailgate. The top-spec version will also feature a panoramic roof and MG's in-car call set, just like the standard Hector.rnrnRead More:
