There is hardly any doubt that the MG Hector is the king of bling. I mean, it has this larger-than-life appeal; it’s always been big on everything – space, features, screen size, chrome, and everything else. So, keeping up with the tradition, MG has now updated the Hector for 2023 with, drumroll, more bling!

SHINE ON

The Hector was launched in 2019 and was refreshed in 2021 with a mild makeover. The 2023 version is another mid-life update, meaning it’s not an all-new model. On the outside, the Hector now looks more imposing and in-your-face, which is all thanks to its shiny new monster-size diamond-mesh grille. It’s huge! The split-headlamp setup has been retained, and the side profile remains the same as that of the 2021 version – the top-spec variants continue with the same 18-inch alloys.
