It will offer some of the first features in the segment and will be offered in gasoline and diesel versions in India. It will also be offered in a mild hybrid option in the gasoline version that will offer great fuel economy along with lower emissions.

Engines

The gasoline MG Hector is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that will come in a 48V mild and regular hybrid system option. The petrol variants will be mated to a 6-speed DCT gearbox.
