MG Hector Now E20 Fuel Compliant

JSW MG Motor India announced that its Hector SUV model is now certified for E20 fuel compatibility, making it compliant with the Indian government's mandate requiring all gasoline-fueled vehicles manufactured after April 1, 2025, to run on 20% ethanol-blended fuel.

The E20 material compatible Hector will be available in 1.5 L Petrol MT and CVT variants. All petrol variants of the Hector produced after March 31, 2025, will meet this standard, following the MG Astor which became E20 compliant last year.

"The enduring popularity of the Hector highlights its outstanding quality and an alignment with our customers' needs. The introduction of the E20-compliant version demonstrates in no uncertain terms our commitment to innovation and sustainability in everything we do. We aim to provide vehicles that not only satisfy customer expectations but also play a vital role in fostering a more greener automotive future," said Rakesh Sen, Director Sales, JSW MG Motor India.

The Hector, introduced in 2019 as India's first Internet SUV, features a dual pane panoramic sunroof, a 35.56 cm (14-inch) HD infotainment system, more than 70 connected car features, and advanced safety offerings including ADAS features.

JSW MG Motor India has also launched a 'Midnight Carnival' promotion for the Hector, with showrooms open until midnight every weekend for a limited time. During this promotional period, 20 lucky buyers will win a trip to London, along with benefits worth up to INR 4 lakhs, depending on variant and grade.

The MG Hector, priced from INR 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom), was launched in 2019 as India’s first Internet SUV, pioneering connected car technology with more than 70 smart features. Known for its spacious cabin, advanced safety systems, and ADAS capabilities, the Hector remains one of MG’s flagship models.

The latest iteration is now certified for E20 fuel compatibility, aligning with India’s ethanol-blending initiative. Available in multiple variants, including petrol MT and CVT, the Hector continues to evolve with enhanced sustainability measures.
