1. Level-2 ADAS

Savvy Pro- Rs. 22.93 Lakhs

The MG Hector Plus, in its top-tier Savvy Pro model, priced at Rs. 22.93 lakh, is equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a feature that's increasingly being adopted across various vehicles. This variant provides a broad range of safety technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, and additional advanced features.

Competition Check- This segment is pretty beefed up with tech and almost all of its rivals offer these driver's assistance systems including Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari, but the Hyundai Alcazar currently does not offer any ADAS features. However, the facelift, which is currently in its testing phase has been spotted with ADAS radars.

2. Panoramic Sunroof

Select Pro Onwards- Rs. 18.20 lakhs

In a modern, tech-forward SUV, a sunroof is a must-have, and the MG Hector Plus delivers a bit more. From the mid-spec Select Pro trim onwards, the Hector comes with a panoramic sunroof that enhances the cabins airy feel and adds a stylish touch to your drive. Offering a more futuristic aura, this can also be operated through voice command as well.

Competition Check- All of its rivals offer a panoramic sunroof in their higher trims.

3. 14-inch Portrait Infotainment Touchscreen

Select Pro Onwards- Rs. 18.20 Lakhs

A standout feature of the MG Hector is its impressive 14-inch portrait-oriented infotainment touchscreen, the largest in its segment. This large display offers a superb user experience, as demonstrated by its clear and efficient 360-degree camera view shown above. The screen not only enhances visibility but also provides a visually appealing interface for all its functions.

Competition Check- The MG Hector Plus offers the biggest size screen whereas the Safari comes with a 12-inch display and the XUV700 sits with a 10-inches display.

4. Powered Tailgate

Sharp Pro Onwards- Starts at Rs. 20.63 Lakhs

A standout premium feature of the MG Hector Plus is its powered tailgate, which enhances convenience, particularly when closing the tailgate. This feature is available starting from the Sharp Pro trim and while this is a premium feature, the rivals are not shying away either to go the extra mile.

Competition Check- While the Tata Safari and the Hyundai Alcazar come with an electric tailgate, surprisingly, the Mahindra XUV700 misses out on this one.
