MG Hector Dual Delight launched in India. The Hector dual tone variant, which MG calls Dual Delight, is based on the Hector Sharp variant and prices start from ₹16.84 lakh onwards, ex-showroom. Since the dual tone versions of the Hector are based on top-spec trim, there are three engine options on offer.
The MG Hector Dual Delight gets a contrasting roof and wing mirrors that set this particular variant apart from the standard SUV. The dual tone Hector variants get a black roof, black A-Pillar, and black outer rear view mirrors. Apart from these cosmetic changes, there are no other changes. The Hector Dual Delight is available in two colour options — Glaze Red and Candy White.
Being based on the Sharp variant, the list of comfort and convenience features is extensive. The newly-launched Hector variant gets a 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with i-Smart connected car technology, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, LED headlights, electrically-adjustable front seats, six airbags, stability control, traction control, and much more.
Coming to the engine, the dual tone Hector is available with a choice of three engines, similar to the Sharp trim. The SUV gets the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine capable of 141 bhp, a 1.5-litre petrol hybrid motor capable of the same power, and finally the 2.0-litre turbo diesel mill that makes 169 bhp. Gearbox options include a 6-speed DCT and a manual with the petrol trims and a 6-speed manual with the diesel.
Coming to the prices, the Hector Dual Delight costs ₹16.84 lakh for the petrol manual, ₹17.76 lakh for the petrol DCT trim, and the diesel manual costs ₹18.09 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.
