MG to soon launch EX variants of Hector & Hector Plus SUV
The Style EX, Sharp EX & Shine EX variants are likely to be available only with petrol or petrol mild-hybrid engines coupled with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT.
According to a report by Autocar, MG is working on launching the EX variants for the Hector and Hector Plus SUVs. The car manufacturer had recently launched the new Astor EX variant.
The Astor EX variant lacks several safety features like ESP, traction control, hill start and hill descent control. Similarly, the same omissions are likely to be in the EX variants of Hector and Hector Plus SUVs. The Style EX, Sharp EX & Shine EX variants are likely to be available only with petrol or petrol mild-hybrid engines coupled with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT.
Apart from safety features, the EX variants are also likely to miss out on several types of equipment like dynamic turn indicators, leather-wrapped steering wheel, ventilated seats, wireless charger, electrically adjustable front passenger seat, 10.4-inch infotainment system and cruise control.
The price of the EX variants is expected to be cheaper than the non-EX variants. MG has launched the new EX variant to tackle the semiconductors shortage by building a car with fewer features.
