The most notable change on the special edition models is the exterior paint shade.

The all-black interiors rock green highlights. The front headrests have ‘100 Year Edition’ embroidered on them along with the MG logo. The infotainment system OS also has a green theme.

There are no mechanical changes on the 100-Year Limited Edition models. MG Hector is available in two powertrain options – a 1.5-litre petrol engine and a 2.0-litre diesel engine.

The 1.3L turbo petrol engine churns out a maximum power output of 140hp and 220Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
