Have been waiting for the Hector 2023 facelift to come in for a while. Spoke with Bengaluru JP Nagar dealership. The SA mentioned that it might not launch tomorrow. Another SA from another dealership said they haven't even received the training yet

Yes, as I had stated yesterday, MG might use AutoExpo to make price announcements at the venue or use the interest level at event to price it accordingly.

On training - It started in batches from 2nd Jan itself in DNCR. Car has reached stockyard of flagship store. My SA has seen black and red one.

Seems like MG wants to invest time and money in AutoExpo, which gets reconfirmed if you look at there new post on Insta:


Hoping to get delivery by month end!

First video showing the automatic. Anyone knows what the shortcut buttons around the gear stick are? Couldn't make out clearly in the video

In the current generation, is the hybrid only available on MT and not AT petrol? Why would they do that... both mileage n pickup would suffer in CVT then ?

Also the tan color scheme of hector plus - is that available for hector as well?

Cheers

Since then, Hector Sharp has seen 1 price increase of 25k (1.28%) in Sep.
Next one is expected starting Jan (2-3% as per latest article -~50k for Sharp). Bringing ex-sh price to 20.1L (23L onroad in GGN).
I feel facelift may command 1 lakh premium over it and not 1.5L, given the 75k price jump on current. (Don't understan what input costs are still going up?! Chip shortage is getting sorted and commodities saw some correction/plateaued. Maybe Companies are trying to push up prices till the point demand continues! )

Can expect facelift to be launched at 21L ex-sh (24L onroad GGN). Rest we will get reality check soon!

So, the price hikes are not as high as we expected. ₹30k across the Hector line so Sharp CVT ex-sh comes to ₹20.03L.

Facelift price is probably gonna be higher with all the suspense, I'd say 21.5L ish.

SA in Bangalore hinted at around 28 lacs on road price for Bangalore for top end, current on road price is around 25.5.

As per couple of sources ex sh price would be around 22 lakhs for facelift top variant, which would translate to 25.5 Lakhs on road in Gurgaon vs. 23 lakhs for current gen Sharp variant (inclusive of latest 30k price hike!)
