MG Motor India has significantly slashed prices for both the Hector and Hector Plus SUVs – the former by up to Rs 1.29 lakh and the latter by up to 1.37 lakh. It is the diesel version of both SUVs that see the maximum drop in price. This could be in response to slow sales as both SUVs are selling just about 2,000 units a month combined, whereas segment leaders like Mahindra XUV700 and Scorpio N are selling well above 6,000 units a month on average.

Post the price revision, the Hector is now priced between Rs 14.73 lakh-21.73 (ex-showroom). The base petrol variant sees the minimum price cut of Rs 27,000, while the top-end variant gets a price cut of up to Rs 66,000.
