Smartphones have made our lives more comfortable over the years. Smartwatches made things even better. Smart TVs have heightened our overall TV viewing experience. So why are you still driving around in a dull little car? It's time to switch to a smarter, more connected car.

British automaker's MG Hector is India's first Internet car that brings an exhaustive feature list, besides offering a marvelous driving experience. With its next-generation iSMART technology, the MG Hector has captured the imagination of the Indian auto enthusiasts.

MG Hector's iSMART is equipped with an industry-first embedded M2M SIM that ensures that the car remains connected at all times. The connected mobility solution is 5G ready and can be accessed via the infotainment system. With 50+ connected features, the solution offers an enhanced driving experience. From an intuitive user interface to over 100 voice-powered operations, the MG Hector can adjust so much more than your current car.

The smart car solution has been built in collaboration with some major technology companies from around the world. The smart car platform differentiates MG Hector from some of its biggest rivals in the market.

Adding another feather to its hat is the first in Industry Over-The-Air updates which allow the Hector to get updated anytime anywhere just like your smartphone. You don't have to drive down to the dealership every time your car software needs an upgrade. The feature is highly beneficial considering how we're slowly adjusting to a new normal, with contactless solutions being chalked out.

MG Hector recently received an OTA update that has onboarded 5 new and impressive features to the car. These include:

1. A new Chit-Chat feature will let you talk to MG Hector while you're driving. Now, you never have to feel alone in your car. For example, you can simply ask, “How Am I looking today? ", and it'll respond with " Seatbelt looks great on you ". Or you could ask, "Hello MG, can you play a song?", and it'll respond by playing your favourite song.

2. A brand new iSmart grey colour theme for the infotainment screen. If you want to change the look and feel of the user interface on the MG Hector, you've got a new colour theme to play around with.

3. If you use the Gaana app to play music in the car, you can now control playback using voice commands. You can play or pause music, skip to the next track or the previous one, or stop music completely using just your voice. This makes it much safer to drive around, while still enjoying your favourite music.

4. Another bonus for Gaana app users, you can now download 100 songs instead of just 10. Go ahead, make your long drives even more worthwhile.

5. You can now set a custom welcome message in MG Hector with an increased limit of 100 characters. The next time you want to surprise your loved ones, set up a custom welcome message when they get inside the car. This feature would also work great for birthdays and anniversaries.

There's no doubt that MG Hector is the car of the future. Its iSMART next-gen technology delivers safe, fun and connected experiences with newer updates coming in every few months, making it always ahead, always updated

Go say ‘Hello MG' today to experience India's first Internet car.
