MG (Morris Garage) Motor India on Wednesday unveiled its first product for India — the compact SUV Hector — that the Chinese-owned British brand will commercially launch in early June. “Bookings will start early June and deliveries too,” Rajeev Chabra, president and managing director of MG India, said at the unveiling of the Hector which has many India-first features. Entering the Indian market amid a 16 per cent drop in passenger vehicle sales, MG India, which has taken over erstwhile GM India’s Hallol and Talegaon plants, is eyeing the premium segment. “The Hector will be operating in the segment where the Honda CR-V, the Jeep Compass and the Hyundai Tucson operate,” said Gaurav Gupta, chief commercial officer, MG Motor India. No one had a 48-volt mild hybrid engine.
