2025 MG Hector Facelift Leaked Ahead of Launch

We now have the clearest look yet at the 2025 MG Hector Facelift after new leaks confirm that the first shipment has quietly arrived at dealerships. The refreshed Hector is not a complete redesign but packs enough visual upgrades to make it feel fresh again in a fiercely competitive SUV segment.

The leaked images reveal a mid cycle update that focuses on exterior enhancements, cabin refinement, updated tech, and improved visual presence. MG is preparing this refresh to extend the life of the Hector until its next generation arrives.

New Styling Highlights and Exterior Redesign

Larger Grille Makes a Statement

The most striking change in the 2025 Hector is the new oversized grille. It features a vertical honeycomb pattern mixed with chrome accents. This larger layout replaces the outgoing chrome studded design. The new face gives the Hector a more confident and much more premium look on the road.

Updated Bumpers and Rear Styling

The front bumper gains new detailing with a grey trim around the lower air dam. The split headlamp layout stays the same, maintaining the Hector's recognizable lighting signature.
At the rear, the taillamp cluster has been tweaked and the bumper receives subtle sculpting for a cleaner, more modern finish.

New Blue Colour and Alloy Wheels

The facelift is expected to introduce a fresh blue exterior paint option which adds vibrancy to the palette. A new alloy wheel design also joins the lineup, giving the SUV a stylish update from all angles.

Interior Improvements and Cabin Tech Upgrades

New Upholstery and Visual Refresh

The cabin layout stays familiar but gets new upholstery and a revised colour theme. The upgrades focus on elevating the sense of comfort and adding subtle luxury without changing the core dashboard structure.

Bigger Touchscreen Expected

The Hector already boasts one of the biggest screens in its class. The facelift is expected to move beyond the current 14 inch unit. The larger interface will support wireless Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, navigation, and media controls.

Feature Rich Experience

Feature highlights remain a strong selling point:

• Panoramic sunroof

• Powered and ventilated front seats

• Ambient lighting

• Wireless charger

• Premium audio system

The feature mix makes the Hector one of the most tech loaded SUVs in the segment.

Safety and ADAS Features Remain Strong

MG retains its Level 2 ADAS suite. The Hector continues to lead with advanced safety technology that enhances comfort and confidence.

Expected safety kit includes:

• 6 airbags

• Electronic stability control

• 360 degree camera

• Hill hold control

• Electronic parking brake with auto hold

• All wheel disc brakes

• TPMS

These features ensure the facelifted Hector remains one of the safest mid size SUVs you can buy.

Powertrain Choices and Driving Performance

The 2025 Hector continues with the proven engine lineup.
The familiar combination of smooth turbo petrol and torquey diesel remains unchanged.

Engine	Transmission	Power	Torque	Drive
1.5 turbo petrol	6MT or CVT	143 PS	250 Nm	FWD
2.0 diesel	6MT	170 PS	350 Nm	FWD

Both engines offer refined performance and strong mid range pull for city and highway use.

Launch Timeline and Expected Pricing

MG plans to launch the 2025 Hector and the updated Hector Plus on 15 December 2025.
The expected pricing sits between INR 15 lakh and INR 21 lakh ex showroom in India, positioning it aggressively in the mid size SUV segment.

The 2025 MG Hector Facelift brings a playful mix of bold styling, updated tech, and comfort focused refinements. These updates help the SUV stay relevant and appealing as it approaches its next generation. The larger grille, bigger screen, cosmetic tweaks, and strong feature list make this facelift a timely refresh for a segment that never stops evolving.
