MG Hector 6-seater SUV Could Get A Different Name Launch In Mid 2020
- The Hector 6-seater is expected to be unveiled at Auto Expo 2020.
- The bench row in the middle has been replaced by captain seats in the 6-seater version.
- Likely to share powertrains with the standard model, albeit BS6-compliant.
- The 6-seater version is expected to command a lakh premium over the standard Hector.
, which is a 7-seater version of the Harrier SUV.
The talking point about the Hector 6-seater is its middle row, which comes with individual captain seats instead of the bench seat. Further, it's the first Hector in India to be offered with a third row of seats. However, the presence of the last row could hinder boot space by a significant margin as both models come with an identical wheelbase.
The Hector 6-seater will come with revised styling elements to denote its own exclusivity., updates include a revised grille design, revamped headlamps, tail lamps, bumpers, dual-tone alloy wheels and a sweet looking blue colour shade.
Inside, we expect the 6-seater version to share its dashboard and feature list with the standard model. Noted features include i-SMART connected car technology, a 10.4-inch infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, cruise control, a coloured multi-info display as well as keyless entry with push button start.
