India’s First Internet SUV MG Hector Is Now E20 Fuel Compatible
2025 MG Hector launched with E20 fuel compatibility Despite the E20 upgrade, the starting price remains unchanged at Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom) Continues with the same engines, connected tech, ADAS features, and premium interiors
MG Motor India has officially launched the 2025 MG Hector in the market. Priced from Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom), the petrol variants of both the MG Hector and MG Hector Plus have now received E20 fuel compliance certification from the Indian government. This makes the Hector the second MG vehicle after the MG Astor to comply with the latest emission norms.
What is E20 Fuel and Why It Matters
E20 fuel is a petrol blend that contains 20% ethanol, a more sustainable alternative aimed at reducing carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. With the Indian government mandating E20 compatibility from April 1, 2025, MG Motor’s move aligns with the country’s push for greener transportation. All petrol-powered Hector models manufactured after March 31, 2025, will meet this requirement—without any increase in prices.
No Major Cosmetic or Feature Changes in the 2025 Model
Apart from the powertrain tweaks required for E20 fuel compatibility, the 2025 MG Hector remains unchanged. And that’s not a drawback—Hector was already one of the most feature-rich SUVs in its segment. It retains:
- 1.5L turbo petrol engine (6-speed manual and CVT)
- 2.0L turbo diesel engine (6-speed manual only)
- 14-inch portrait infotainment system
- 70 connected car features with internet support
- ADAS suite with autonomous capabilities
- Dual-pane panoramic sunroof
- Premium interiors and spacious cabin
Part of MG’s Commitment to Sustainable Mobility
This move is a continuation of MG Motor India's mission toward an eco-friendly and connected future. The MG Astor received its E20 certification last year, and now with the Hector joining the list, the brand is ensuring its portfolio meets the latest BS6 Phase-II emission norms.
Midnight Carnival Campaign to Boost Hector Sales
To further promote the 2025 MG Hector, the company has also rolled out the ‘Midnight Carnival’ campaign, designed to attract more buyers with exclusive offers and dealership experiences.
