- Now gets a BS6 Phase 2 engine

- Smart variant introduced in seven-seater

MG Motor India has hiked the prices across its portfolio and has revealed the updated prices. The automaker has not stated any reason behind the price hike yet, but we assume it is mostly due to the upgradation of the powertrain to comply with the new BS6 Phase 2 and RDE emission norms.

The Hector Plus can be had in Smart, Smart Pro, Sharp Pro, and Savvy Pro variants. That said, the Savvy Pro variant gets a minimum hike of Rs. 15,000 while the Sharp and Sharp Pro variants get a maximum price hike of Rs. 76,000. On the other hand, the Sharp Pro petrol and diesel are now dearer by Rs. 51,000 and Rs. 61,000 respectively.

Apart from this, the manufacturer has removed the six-seater Sharp variant and introduced the seven-seater Smart variant in the Hector Plus family.

Under the hood, the SUV gets a BS6 Phase 2 updated 1.5-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel engine. The former produced 141bhp and 250Nm of torque, while the latter belts out 168bhp and 350Nm of torque. A six-speed unit is standard, while a CVT unit is offered only with turbo-petrol engines. However, the manufacturer has discontinued the DCT and mild-hybrid variants.
