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.
