MG Hector Facelift
An entirely new front fascia with a new Argyle diamond mesh front grille will be included in the impending MG Hector facelift. The front fascia has already been teased by the brand in a teaser from a few months ago. The SUV will maintain its current overall size and shape. To distinguish it from the current version, the firm will also make a number of cosmetic tweaks to the back.
When it comes to the interior, the brand previously teased a 14.1-inch touchscreen infotainment panel, one of the largest OEM-installed touchscreens. This redesigned infotainment panel includes the HVAC controls. A new digital instrument cluster might potentially be included in the 2022 MG Hector makeover. Additionally, the HVAC vents will now have a different design than the current version, and the entire dashboard will have a new look.
The installation of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) will be one of the key changes in the impending Hector facelift. To further the car's safety, the new Hector will come with ADAS. Additionally, it will include six airbags and other crucial safety features.

2023 MG Hector Facelift Engine Options
When it comes to engine specifications, it will still provide the same 2.0-liter diesel and 1.5-liter petrol engine and a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine. The diesel engine only has a manual transmission, whereas the petrol engine can be purchased with either a manual or an automatic transmission. To increase fuel efficiency, the brand may tweak the engines. Additionally, it might cost more than the SUV's current iteration.
Verdict: The Hector facelift will be released in 2023 by MG Motor India. The upcoming 2023 Hector will be jam-packed with features. The launch is anticipated to occur in January 2023, even though the company has not given a specific date. Also, the Hector Plus facelift will also make its debut with the regular 5-seater variant's facelift.
