The newly introduced Smart Auto Turn Indicators in Next Gen MG Hector also offer a hassle-free and safe driving experience.
Based on the steering angle, the respective indicator light automatically gets ON/OFF.
This automatic signal will be useful when the driver fails to put on the indicator while entering the road from a parking space or during a U-turn.

The technological innovation is also manifest in the first-in-segment Digital Bluetooth Key and Key Sharing capability.
In case of an emergency or loss of a key, the Digital Key can be used to lock, unlock, start, and drive the vehicle.
Using the Remote Lock/Unlock feature, the car can be unlocked from anywhere.
With the keysharing function, one can share an additional key with up to two people.
Moreover, the Next-Gen Hector now has more than 75 connected features including 100 voice commands, thanks to the revolutionary i-SMART technology that combines hardware, software, connectivity, services, and applications for smarter, enjoyable drives.
