MG Hector with Five Years Unlimited Warranty Launched in India, Starting at Rs.12.18 Lakhs

MG (Morris Garages) Motor India has today launched the much-awaited HECTOR at a very special introductory price of INR 12.18 Lakhs to INR 16.88 Lakhs  (ex-showroom, New Delhi).

The MG HECTOR, India’s first internet car, has been launched with India’s best vehicle ownership package – the “MG Shield”. It provides private owners free-of-charge 5-year comprehensive manufacturer warranty for unlimited kilometers – the best factory warranty for any vehicle sold in India. It also includes round-the-clock roadside assistance (RSA) for a period of 5 years and no labour charges for the first 5 scheduled vehicle services.

The HECTOR further offers prepaid maintenance plans starting as low as INR 8,000 for the first three years. Its total cost of ownership (TCO) is the lowest in the segment starting at INR 45 paise per kilometer for the petrol and at INR 49 paise per kilometer for the diesel.

In addition, MG assures customers of the resale value of the HECTOR at a compelling value proposition under the “3-60” plan. Under this plan, MG has tied up with automotive portal CarDekho and the latter will buyback the MG HECTOR at a residual value of 60% upon completion of three years of ownership. All these elements under “MG Shield” are aimed at enhancing the customer experience and providing complete peace of mind.

Commenting on the launch of MG HECTOR, Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director, MG Motor India, said, “As MG’s first product for the Indian market, the HECTOR comes with ‘MG Shield’, a first-of-its-kind package in the Indian auto industry which provides complete assurance to our customers, as we continue to remain focused on disruption & differentiation.
