Engine Displacement: 1,451 cc (1.5L Turbocharged Petrol)
The MG Hector is primarily powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged intercooled petrol engine. It is engineered for a balance of urban drivability and highway cruising, adhering to the latest BS6 Phase 2.0 emission norms. A 2.0-litre diesel variant (170 PS / 350 Nm) is also a staple for high-mileage users in the Indian market.
Max Power & Torque: 143 PS & 250 Nm
The petrol engine produces a peak power of 143 PS at 5200 rpm and a maximum torque of 250 Nm starting from as low as 1600 rpm. This low-end torque is critical for moving the Hector’s substantial kerb weight of approximately 1,727 kg without significant lag.
