In the ever-evolving landscape of the Indian automotive market, MG Motor India has once again shaken things up. The latest updates to the MG Hector line-up bring exciting changes, with the introduction of two new trims – Shine Pro and Select Pro. But that’s not all; brace yourself for the headline news – the starting price of the Hector is now a tantalizing Rs 14 lakh, marking a significant drop of Rs 95,000.
A.The Price Revolution
1. Second Price Cut in Six Months
The automotive enthusiasts among us will rejoice at the revelation that this isn’t just a minor adjustment. The MG Hector has undergone its second price cut in the last six months, making it a more attractive proposition for prospective buyers.
2. Shine Pro and Select Pro Trims Take Center Stage
The spotlight is on the newly introduced Shine Pro and Select Pro trims, ushering in a new era for the Hector. The Shine Pro starts at Rs 16 lakh, while the Select Pro commands a price tag of Rs 17.30 lakh (both prices ex-showroom, India). However, the real showstopper is the revamped starting price of Rs 14 lakh.
B. Shine Pro: A Closer Look
1. Enhanced Features, Affordable Price
The Shine Pro trim, stepping into the shoes of the outgoing Shine trim, not only retains its predecessor’s charm but amplifies it. LED Daytime Running Lamps, LED projector headlights, sequential LED turn indicators, and a 14-inch infotainment screen are just the beginning. And here’s the kicker – prices for Shine Pro petrol variants are now more wallet-friendly by up to Rs 44,000 compared to the outgoing Shine petrol.
2. A Glimpse into Luxury
This mid-spec trim doesn’t just stop at aesthetics. A 7-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a single-pane sunroof, wireless charger, and a 6-speaker sound system are thrown into the mix. The result? A driving experience that seamlessly blends technology with elegance.
C. Select Pro: Elevating the Game
1. Beyond the Ordinary
Positioned above the Shine Pro, the Select Pro trim takes the Hector to new heights. Larger 18-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, interior LED reading lights, and advanced connected car features redefine what’s possible in this segment. The cherry on top? An 8-speaker sound system with woofer and amplifier, promising an unparalleled audio experience.
2. Price Shifts, Premium Upgrades
While the Select Pro petrol variants command a slightly higher price, up to Rs 25,000 over the outgoing Smart petrol, and the diesel variant is pricier by Rs 20,000, the added features make it a compelling choice for those seeking an elevated driving experience.
Conclusion
The MG Hector’s latest metamorphosis not only underscores its commitment to innovation but also reinforces its stance as a leader in the competitive Indian SUV market. With a more accessible starting price and upgraded trims that seamlessly blend style, comfort, and technology, the Hector is poised to capture the hearts of discerning car enthusiasts.
