MG Teases Hector Facelift as Reports Point to Major Infotainment Upgrade

The update is positioned as a tech-led refresh to help the SUV regain ground in India’s crowded mid-size segment.

Overview

  • MG Motor India released the first teaser on December 8 with the message “It’s been a while. Get ready to be surprised,” confirming a refreshed Hector is imminent.
  • Automotive outlets report a new high-performance infotainment system with up to 10GB RAM, faster responses, an improved touch experience, and likely multi-touch gesture controls.
  • Recent spy images indicate redesigned front and rear bumpers, a new grille, fresh alloy wheels, and an unchanged overall silhouette and sheet metal.
  • The facelift is expected to retain the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 2.0-litre diesel options, with no major price shift anticipated from the current Rs 14 lakh ex-showroom entry point.
  • A reveal is expected within weeks with a soft launch likely in December 2025 or January 2026, with observers viewing this as MG’s first significant post-JSW product move following a sharp sales decline.
