On the outside, the Hector facelift will feature a revised grille with horizontal slats, new LED headlamps with sequential indicators and a redesigned lower bumper with larger air dams.

Inside, the dashboard is expected to feature a 14-inch portrait touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. Illuminated steering controls, dual-tone leatherette seats and ambient lighting across the doors and footwells add to the experience.

Features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, a 360-degree camera, wireless charging and connected car functions round out the technology suite.
Engine options are expected to remain unchanged. The current 1.5-litre turbo-petrol produces 141bhp and 250Nm, while the 2.0-litre diesel delivers 167bhp and 350Nm, available with manual or CVT transmissions depending on the variant.
