MG Motor India is all set to introduce a dual-tone paint scheme with Hector SUV. The dual-tone exterior option will only be available on the top-spec Sharp variant. MG has also started taking online bookings for the same at a token amount of Rs 50,000.
Currently, the MG Hector is only available in five monotone color options. Hence, the introduction of the dual-tone scheme comes as a delightful enhancement.

This black color paint will be done on the roof, outside mirrors (ORVM), and on the A-Pillar of the car.
