The prices for the MG Hector are expected to be in between Rs 11 lakh to Rs 18 lakh.

MG Hector is locally manufactured at its Halol plant which ensures a competitive price tag. Although these prices may be introductory, for what’s its worth, it is also targeting Hyundai Creta since the base trim, petrol for the SUV is expected to launch at Rs 11 lakh and offers more features than other cars in its segment.
