That's a chrome overload! Anniversary Edition=Chrome
Pricing is decent since it is same as earlier and gets some additional goodies.

Panoramic sunroof is only offered in top end Sharp Trim. Since anniversary edition is based on Super trim, it will offer only basic add on features like wireless charging, air purifier etc.

This thread title should have been updated to wear sunglasses before clicking on thread.

I think MG missed a spot to add chrome. Didn't find any chrome on the tyres anywhere.

European or Indian or Chinese, whoever be the manufacturer , it is just impossible to stop yourself from launching a special edition with some sticker jobs.
I would call this a Chromiversary Edition if the pic shown here is true for the variant.

Damn! They should have called this the “Bling Edition”. That is too much chrome for anyone to digest.

Hey, I have checked several other websites including Rushlane and they confirm that a sunroof is not on offer.

MG Hector Special Anniversary Edition is based on the Super trim. It includes a range of new features that add to its celebratory spunk. This includes wireless mobile charging, 26.4 cm (10.3 inch) HD touch screen, air purifier and Medklinn Kit for interior sterilization.

Copyright (C) 'RUSH LANE' Read more at... https://www.rushlane.com/mg-hector-a...-12374766.html .
Also, since this specific edition is priced exactly same as the Super trim, I don't think offering a panaromic sunroof would've been quite profitable for them.

And to all those wondering if MG has actually pasted all that chrome on the variant, no they didn't! The pic is of the fully accessorized version of the MG Hector and not the MG Hector Anniversary edition.
(Attaching a pic of the actual variant with the post)

Re: MG Hector Anniversary Edition launched at Rs. 13.63 lakh

The above posts are hilarious

Maybe one of their employees was returning from Kashmere Gate after accesorising his hector and the management thought that's it this is going to be our "Anniversary Edition"

Re: MG Hector Anniversary Edition launched at Rs. 13.63 lakh

Jokes aside on the Chrome usage on Hector. This looks like most VFM SUV with sunroof. Harrier is at 16.99 lakhs for sunroof and MG offering same or more features at 14.99 a good 2 big ones cheaper

After reading through other websites, there is no mention of Sunroof on Anniversary edition. Can someone check and confirm?

Re: MG Hector Anniversary Edition launched at Rs. 13.63 lakh

How is the MG Hector A.S.S experience. There were quite a few horror stories big the Car being grounded at dealerships due to lack of spares and time to procure them. The China ownership angle is adding another level of negative press to the vehicle.

The Anniversary Edition does not get all the chrome bits and decals. These are part of the accessories offered by MG.

Re: MG Hector Anniversary Edition launched at Rs. 13.63 lakh

Like choco dip ice-creams, MG can call it chrome dip edition. In the process of trying too hard, MG is making a fool of themselves and the customers. If you want to sell your products, gain some respect, if you want to have some respect, have some standard.

The MG EV is a good vehicle, what the Hector needs is a diesel automatic not Chrome makeover. For every good move, do not dilute the brand with such not so smart move.
