JSW MG Motor India rolls out E20 Compliant Hector 

JSW MG Motor India has officially announced that its flagship SUV, the MG Hector, India’s first Internet car, is now certified for E20 fuel (20% ethanol-blended petrol). This certification highlights the company’s ongoing dedication to sustainability and innovation in the automotive industry. The E20-compatible MG Hector will be available in both 1.5 L Petrol MT and CVT variants, aligning with the Government of India’s mandate for E20 compliance in all gasoline-powered vehicles manufactured after April 1, 2025.

Following the E20 material certification, all petrol variants of the MG Hector produced after March 31, 2025, will be compatible with E20 fuel. Additionally, MG Astor, another popular model from the brand, has been E20 compliant since last year, further cementing MG Motor’s commitment to green mobility.

Rakesh Sen, Head of Sales at JSW MG Motor India, commented, “The enduring popularity of the Hector highlights its outstanding quality and alignment with our customers’ needs. The introduction of the E20-compliant version demonstrates our commitment to innovation and sustainability in everything we do. We aim to provide vehicles that not only satisfy customer expectations but also contribute to fostering a greener automotive future.”

The MG Hector, first introduced in 2019, continues to set a benchmark for SUVs in India. Known for its best-in-class features such as the dual-pane panoramic sunroof, a segment-leading 35.56 cm (14-inch) HD infotainment system, over 70 connected car features, and advanced safety systems with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), the Hector delivers a truly distinctive driving experience for SUV enthusiasts.

To enhance the car-buying experience, JSW MG Motor India has introduced a unique campaign, the ‘Midnight Carnival’, for its flagship SUV. This exclusive initiative invites car buyers to visit MG Motor showrooms, open until midnight every weekend, for a limited time. As part of this offer, 20 lucky MG Hector buyers will win a dream trip to London, along with exclusive benefits worth up to INR 4 lakhs.

With a striking exterior, segment-leading interiors, lowest maintenance costs, and unique design elements, the MG Hector is available at an attractive starting price of INR 13.99 Lakh (ex-showroom).

This latest development not only reinforces MG Motor’s commitment to sustainability but also positions the Hector as a forward-thinking, environmentally-conscious option for Indian SUV buyers.
