Two new colors, Celadon Blue and Pearl White, join the existing palette of Glaze Red, Aurora Silver, and Starry Black.

Inside, the cabin receives a dual-tone Ice Grey theme for the Hector and Urban Tan theme for 7-seater Hector Plus. Updates include an extended under-thigh support for the front seats, and additional gloss black trim elements throughout the dashboard and center console. The dashboard retains its layered design, dominated by the 14-inch infotainment touchscreen.

The Hector and Hector Plus continue to offer a robust feature set, including a panoramic sunroof, powered and ventilated front seats, wireless phone charger, ambient lighting, an air purifier, powered tailgate, cruise control, and an Infinity sound system. Safety features include six airbags, ESC, TPMS, a 360-degree camera, rain-sensing wipers, parking sensors, and Level-2 ADAS.
