Exterior

The newly launched MG Hector Shine is now available in the new Havana Grey body colour option. Additionally, in terms of features the Hector Shine offers LED headlamps and single pane electric sunroof. Until now, only the top-spec Sharp variant featured a dual pane panoramic sunroof. The Shine variant rides on a set of 215/60 17-inch silver alloy wheels. The 215/60 R17 steel wheel is standard across the variants. 

Interior 

The newly launched trim is based on the Shine variant, thereby it retains most of the features from the existing model. Along with dual-tone upholstery, the petrol CVT trim of the newly introduced Hector Shine variant offers features such as push-button start, keyless entry, chrome finished door handles, electric parking brake with auto hold, and telescoping adjustment for the steering wheel. 

Moreover, interested customers can opt for a curated accessory pack at a special price of Rs 17,000. The accessories pack includes an air purifier, wireless phone charger, leatherette steering wheel cover, 3D cabin and boot mats, and four door sunshades.
