Indo-Chinese joint venture working on aesthetic and functional upgrades for two of its ICE SUVs, likely with plans to introduce them in 2026
Following a strong start last decade, the MG Hector has lost ground in India. Despite a facelift in 2023, the Chinese brand’s first model in India has not seen much traction. Now, JSW MG Motor appears to be working on a second facelift for the MG Hector to improve its sales.
Recent spy shots have shown the company testing its prototype on the highway near its factory in Halol, Gujarat. While locals would know these occurrences are a common sight around here, experts believe the latest one is not part of the regular testing.
The partial camouflage on the spied MG Hector could be hiding fresh cosmetic changes aimed at giving the model a new lease of life. It seems JSW MG Motor is planning to introduce a new radiator grille. Additionally, there could be a few revisions not present on this test mule, including restyled bumpers, tweaked headlight and tail light graphics, and new wheels.

The facelifted MG Hector may have limited interior changes, such as new upholstery, colour scheme, and trim materials. JSW MG Motor may use this opportunity to roll out minor software improvements for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. There’s no word on any mechanical changes, which would mean the same 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol and 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engines, paired with a 6-speed MT or a CVT (petrol-only), respectively.
Also in the pipeline is the MG Majestor, the facelifted version of the MG Gloster that was showcased at Auto Expo 2025 in January. The updated model features a notably aggressive exterior with a massive front grille, prominent skid plates, split headlamps, chunky wheel arch cladding, etc. Also new on the outside are connected tail lamps and six-double-spoke alloy wheels.

Inside, the MG Majestor may feature a slightly redesigned dashboard with new AC vents, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a larger, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
Additional comfort and convenience features like a ventilated front passenger seat and a power tailgate may further enhance the appeal of the Toyota Fortuner. Lastly, Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems will likely bring a significant safety improvement. No major mechanical changes are expected in this model either.
