IN PICS | MG Hector Plus Review: An Even Bigger Leap Into Comfort & Space

The Hector has been a runaway success in India and has established the MG brand. What has made the Hector appealing to Indian SUV buyers has been its size plus features not to mention a tempting price and value quotient? The Hector is clearly aimed for those who want a large SUV with comfort and expanding that, MG has now launched the Hector Plus. As the 'Plus' in the name indicates, the Hector now takes an even bigger leap into comfort and space. It is basically a Hector V 2.0 and gets a more luxurious cabin along with three-row seating. How good is it? Here is a review.

MG claims the Hector is not a proper all row MPV with a third row with huge space. It is a 6-seater with the last row for children. Access is decent but the third row is only suitable for children or for short journeys only as you end up sitting with the knees-up position. You get 3rd row AC vents with separate fan speed control though. Boot space with all rows up is decent and the powered boot release helps in loading luggage.

In terms of kit, the Hector Plus gets a smart swipe feature which is a powered tail-gate which makes for convenient hands-free opening and a new 'chit-chat' feature for the connected car tech on offer. Else the feature list is the same with powered seats and the massive touch-screen and more. You can tell the car to close or open the sunroof while the car has a lot of pre-loaded apps. We only wish for wireless charging and a slightly more responsive touch-screen.
