MG Hector & Hector Plus Petrol DCT variants discontinued

An 8-step continuously variable transmission (CVT) is now the only Petrol AT option.

MG Motor India no longer offers the 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission option on the Hector and Hector Plus.

With the DCT option now discontinued, customers looking for an automatic Hector or Hector Plus will have to settle for the 8-step continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The 6-speed dual-clutch was offered with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. This engine produces 141 BHP and 250 Nm. In February last year, MG added a CVT to the options list, so that customers could now choose between a DCT or CVT paired with a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine.

Other powertrain options offered by MG include a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid and a 2.0-litre diesel engine both of which, are paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
