In a bid to boost sales of its Hector SUV, MG Motor India has introduced a new market campaign called “Midnight Carnival”, under which MG showrooms will remain open until midnight on weekends for a limited period, and twenty buyers stand a chance to win an all-expenses-paid dream trip to London.
The new MG Hector buyers can also avail exclusive benefits worth up to Rs 4 lakh, comprising a 2-year/1 lakh km extended warranty (in addition to the 3-year coverage), 2 extra years of Roadside Assistance (RSA), and 50% off on the RTO charges. Exciting Hector owners can also enjoy special offers on MG accessories.
Commenting on the initiative, Rakesh Sen, Head of Sales, JSW MG Motor India, said, “The MG Hector has always been the model of choice for SUV lovers in India, and our Midnight Carnival is a unique celebration of that legacy. By combining irresistible offers with memorable experiences, we’re creating opportunities for both our current and future customers to be part of something truly special.”

About MG Hector
Launched in 2019 as MG’s debut model in India, the Hector is a premium mid-size SUV that locks horns with the Tata Harrier & Safari, Mahindra XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar. It comes in three seating configurations: 5, 6 and 7-seater, with prices ranging between Rs 14 – 23.67 lakh (ex-showroom).
It comes loaded with modern features, including a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch digital cluster, ventilated front seats, wireless charger, panoramic sunroof, 8-colour ambient lighting, powered tailgate, a 360-degree camera, electronic parking brakes with auto-hold, six airbags, front & rear parking sensors, and an ADAS suite.
MG offers the Hector with two engine options: a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (143PS/250Nm) and a 2-litre turbo-diesel (170PS/350Nm). While the gasoline mill can be had with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox, the oil burner comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

In our opinion, the MG Hector is a compelling package in the mid-size SUV space, offering plush ride quality and a spacious cabin loaded with tons of premium features. However, it falls short on driving dynamics, as it prioritises comfort over engagement, which may not please enthusiastic drivers.
