Since its rivals such as the Kia Seltos have BS6 diesel engines, the Hector is likely to get its 2.0-litre turbo-diesel updated. Expect the diesel’s price hike to be steeper than the petrol. Meanwhile, MG Motor is also working on a 6-7 seater version of the Hector, which will be showcased at Auto Expo 2020.
