MG Motor launched the Hector SUV in June 2019 in India. It offers a variety of segment-first features and connected car technology. The carmaker has now introduced an OTA (over-the-air) update for Hector's infotainment system.

Starting with its in-built Gaana application, with this update customers can now control the music application via voice commands. The infotainment system now gets a new grey colour theme, additional voice commands with new 'chit-chat' feature, and supports up to 100 words for the welcome messages. The latest update, which will be rolled out in a phased manner, also includes multiple bug fixes. Customers will receive an SMS notification and email once the new updates are available for their SUV.

The Hector's eSIM-enabled connected car technology helps control various features remotely. This includes controlling the AC, opening and closing the sunroof, and door and tailgate lock and unlock. It also offers a 'Find My Car' feature that helps locate the Hector in a parking lot while the geo-fencing feature sends an alert on the owner's mobile phone when the car crosses a set perimeter.

The Hector is priced between Rs 12.73 lakh and Rs 17.72 lakh (ex-showroom, except Kerala). Key rivals include the Jeep Compass, Tata Harrier, and Mahindra XUV500. MG will soon launch a 6-seater version of the Hector called the Hector Plus with captain seats in the middle row. It will also go up against the upcoming Tata Gravitas.
