Mumbai, Jun 27 (UNI) MG (Morris Garages) Motor India on Thursday launched the much-awaited HECTOR at a very special introductory price of Rs 12.18 Lakhs to Rs 16.88 Lakhs (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
The MG HECTOR, India’s first internet car, has been launched with India’s best vehicle ownership package - the 'MG Shield'.
It provides private owners free-of-charge 5-year comprehensive manufacturer warranty for unlimited kilometers- the best factory warranty for any vehicle sold in India.
It also includes round-the-clock roadside assistance (RSA) for a period of 5 years and no labour charges for the first 5 scheduled vehicle services.
The HECTOR further offers prepaid maintenance plans starting as low as Rs 8,000 for the first three years. Its total cost of ownership (TCO) is the lowest in the segment starting at Rs 45 paise per kilometer for the petrol and at Rs 49 paise per kilometer for the diesel.
In addition, MG assures customers of the resale value of the HECTOR at a compelling value proposition under the '3-60' plan. Under this plan, MG has tied up with automotive portal CarDekho and the latter will buyback the MG HECTOR at a residual value of 60 pc upon completion of three years of ownership.
All these elements under 'MG Shield' are aimed at enhancing the customer experience and providing complete peace of mind.
