The MG Hector has achieved a significant milestone receiving certification for E20 fuel, a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol. This development aligns with the government’s mandate for E20 compliance in gasoline-powered vehicles manufactured after April 1, 2025. The certification ensures that the MG Hector is compatible with the increasingly prevalent E20 fuel, making it a versatile choice for car buyers.
The MG Hector offers two engine options to cater to different driving preferences. The 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine produces 143PS of maximum power and 250Nm of peak torque, providing a smooth and responsive driving experience. This engine can be paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT), offering flexibility and convenience. On the other hand, the 2.0-litre diesel engine delivers 170PS of maximum power and 350Nm of peak torque, making it suitable for those who prioritize power and efficiency. The diesel engine is available with a 6-speed manual transmission.
In terms of pricing, the MG Hector petrol variants are available between Rs 13,99,800 and Rs 22,13,800 (ex-showroom). The diesel variants are priced between Rs 18,57,800 and Rs 22,56,800 (ex-showroom). With its E20 certification, engine options, and competitive pricing, the MG Hector is well-positioned to appeal to car buyers seeking a reliable and environmentally friendly vehicle.
