Taking center stage was the All-New Hector 2026, launched at an aggressive starting price of ₹11.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom). The 2026 edition arrives with a bold new look featuring the “Aura Hex” Grille and redesigned 18-inch ‘Aurs Bolt’ alloy wheels. It introduces premium colour options like Celadon Blue and Pearl White, alongside classics like Glaze Red and Starry Black. Inside, the cabin is upgraded with a segment-leading 14-inch HD Portrait Infotainment System now featuring “i-Swipe” gesture controls and “Hinglish” voice commands. Safety remains paramount with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Traffic Jam Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Leading the EV Revolution and addressing the gathering, the Directors of Legacy Automobiles, Mrs. Urvee Eklavya Lall and Mrs. Gouri Lall, announced that MG Andaman has secured the highest EV sales in the region, capturing over 50% of the market share in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands in 2025.

The Directors also highlighted a major focus on infrastructure, confirming that JSW MG India and MG Andaman are focussed and actively planning establishment of EV charging stations at significant touchpoints across the islands.
