The Hector was Chinese-owned British carmaker Morris Garages’ first stab at the Indian market and it sure has some interesting ingredients. An eye catching design, massive proportions and new-age tech make it a well-rounded package that should definitely be on the radar of prospective mid-size SUV owners. Though truly a rival for the Tata Harrier, Mahindra XUV500 and Jeep Compass in terms of its sheer size, keen pricing has also placed it precariously close to the likes of the Hyundai Creta. MG Hector engine choices include a petrol-manual, a petrol-automatic and a diesel-manual.

The MG Hector pretty much outsizes everything in its class. Its length and wheelbase are the largest amongst its rivals, though the narrow girth and excessive rear overhang do throw proportions off a bit. The 2021 facelift brough in a set of larger, 18-inch wheels which better suit the stance of the Hector. A generous use of chrome means the Hector is big on bling and elements like the split LED DRLs and headlamps set up ensure the MG grabs attention.
The MG’s cabin is simply cavernous and there is space aplenty for five passengers and their luggage. Range-topping versions get a massive panoramic sunroof that only adds to the airy feel in the interior. There are lots of other goodies on board and the features really are a draw in their own right. The much talked about 10.4-inch touchscreen that comes armed with connectivity tech is the focal point on the dashboard. Material quality is largely good but you will find some less special bits in the Hector interior as well.
The MG Hector diesel’s 170hp, 2.0-litre engine, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, packs enough grunt and impresses with its linear power delivery and refinement. A snappy clutch remains a pain point of the Fiat-sourced engine though. The MG Hector petrol gets a 143hp, 1.5-litre turbocharged unit with a 6-speed manual as standard and a CVT auto as an option. You no longer get the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) auto, which is just as well, as the CVT is far smoother and more efficient too. Shame there is no diesel auto.
The Hector’s ride quality is fairly good at town speeds, but up the pace, and you’ll get a fair bit of body movement on undulating surfaces. The MG doesn’t feel as well tied down as rivals at triple digit speeds either and the noticeable body roll also means it simply isn’t a driver’s car. The Hector’s steering isn’t the most feelsome but it is light at low speeds and makes it easy to manoeuvre the large SUV.
