The video further reveals that Mrs Malini wanted a car that offered "little height" for easy ingress and egress, and a good view of the outside world with an upright seating posture. That's also where the MG Hector manages to secure top points with spacious second row, comfortable seat and a high seating position with wide windows. Given the fact that the actor has opted for the range-topping trim, the MG Hector will also come loaded with a tonne of equipment including the panoramic sunroof, 360-degreee camera, ambient lighting, leather upholstered seats, push-button start and the massive 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car tech, voice command feature and more.
