MG has announced that its debutant vehicle in the Indian market will be called the Hector.

The MG Hector has recently confirmed us that the Hector will be completely revealed in April 2020 before its official launch in June 2019. The carmaker might open pre-launch bookings for the mid-size SUV post its reveal in April. The British carmaker had earlier announced by the time the Hector will be launched, MG will have around 45 dealerships up and running across the country.
MG Motor has already confirmed that this SUV will be powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine, which will be shared with the Jeep Compass.

The MG Hector SUV is expected to be priced in the range of Rs 15 lakh to Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom) and will take on likes of the Jeep Compass, Hyundai Tucson, Mahindra XUV500 and the Tata Harrier.
