MG Hector CVT review, first drive - Plus One

A CVT equipped variant joins the Hector’s model line-up and brings along a new driving experience along with some additional changes and features for the 2021 model.

The MG Hector is still a fairly handsome looking mid-sized SUV as it was before 2021 but this new edition gets some changes that makes it an even sweeter deal than before. A new studded grille dominates the front with the slim DRLs and LED headlamp cluster mounted lower on the bumper remaining as they were. Same side profile as before too but spruced up with a new wheel design and the rear section remains fairly unchanged except for a new black strip running between the tail lamps. Step inside the 2021 Hector’s spacious cabin and there are additions of a few features like the new beige faux leather upholstery as an option that makes the cabin feel airier, electrical adjustability for the passenger seat that was missing from the top-end petrol variant earlier, cooling functions for both the front seats and a wireless charger bringing the Hector up-to-date with its peers.
