MG Motor India is gearing up to launch the Hector this month and we already know that it will be well-equipped right from the base variant. The base variant will be equipped with projector headlamps, rear air-con vents, leather finished driver armrest, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Hill Hold Control (HHC) and front dual airbags among others, however, will miss on some of the brand’s USPs which will give it an edge over the competition. The biggest feature of all is obviously the 10.4-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system which is the command system to a host of connected car features and the base Style variant of the Hector doesn’t get it. In fact, the top iSmart connected car tech is only available from the Smart variant which is second from the top. That said, MG Motor has segregated the features very smartly among all the variants. Here’s is a look at all the features each variant has on offer.
