The MG Hector is a compact crossover SUV sold in India by MG Motor India, the first model the company released there, launched in June 2019. It is a rebadged Baojun 530, a car built by SAIC-GM-Wuling in China that is sold under four brands in several markets, among them the Wuling Almaz in Indonesia and the Chevrolet Captiva in South America. Production for India began in September 2019 at a former General Motors plant in Halol, Gujarat, with 75 percent of the content sourced from India. The Hector has a honeycomb grille, dual projector LED headlights and a 10.4 inch head unit with the iSMART connected car features. It is offered in Style, Super, Smart and Sharp trims with a 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine, the same engine with mild hybrid technology, or a 2.0 litre turbo diesel sourced from Stellantis. The three-row Hector Plus followed in July 2020, and updated versions arrived in 2021, 2023 and December 2025.
