setup. The changes focus on refreshing key exterior elements and improving in-car technology, rather than introducing major revisions. The updated Hector continues to compete in the mid-size SUV segment against rivals such as the Tata Harrier, Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV700.

However, the facelifted Hector and Hector Plus will continue with the same engines and gearboxes. The petrol version uses a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine producing 143hp and 250Nm. Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic. The diesel version gets a 2.0-litre engine with 170hp and 350Nm, but it is available only with a manual transmission.

The 2026 MG Hector facelift brings a few visible changes on the outside, while keeping the overall shape familiar. The large front grille remains the same size, but the pattern has been updated. The earlier diamond-style design has been replaced with a honeycomb-like layout. The lower air dam has also been reworked, giving the front a slightly different look. MG has introduced new alloy wheel designs as well. However, the lighting setup is unchanged. The split headlamp design continues, and the LED strip that connects the tail-lamps at the rear has been carried over from the current model.

Inside the cabin, MG has focused on small updates rather than a full redesign. The 14-inch vertical touchscreen remains, but it now runs on faster hardware and comes with updated software and menus. The overall layout stays familiar, though there are changes to upholstery and minor trim elements. The five-seat Hector gets a new dual-tone ice grey interior, while the Hector Plus features a dual-tone urban tan theme. Ventilated seats and a layered dashboard design are also expected, helping the cabin feel more up to date compared to rivals like the Tata Harrier, Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV700. Along with Six-airbags it has a PM 2.5 air purifier.
