The car sports a split-headlamp setup with DRLs at the top. It also gets quad headlamp elements in the bumpers. The fog lamps and the headlamps above them are surrounded entirely by chrome accents. Hector also receives dual-tone, multi-spoke alloys and an electrically operated tailgate which houses LED taillamps.

MG has decked the interior with a 10.4-inch touchscreen system, which runs the iSMART system. It runs on an in-car Android-based OS with 4G connectivity. This system supports phone app connectivity and gets a Gaana and Accuweather premium app for free. This enables the SUV to act as per voice commands by the driver, such as opening and closing the sunroof, as well as climate control. The car also gives real-time traffic updates, tyre pressure, and weather updates.
