MG Hector FAQs

The mid-spec Smart Pro with the CVT offers a good mix of safety equipment, convenience features, and the user-friendliness of an automatic gearbox at under Rs 20 lakh (on-road).

Unlike some of its segment rivals, the MG Hector does not get dual-zone climate control, terrain modes, all-wheel drive, or a diesel engine option.

A responsive CVT gearbox and a comfortable low-speed ride make the MG Hector feel at home in the city.

The same comfy suspension that makes it a good low-speed city car makes the MG Hector roll in the corners. Sharper bumps on the road also catches this suspension off guard, making the Hector feel unsettled. Finally, the Hector's steering wheel doesn’t offer much in the way of feel.

We found the rear seats (second row) of the MG Hector to be the most spacious and comfortable in its segment. Adding to the rear-seat comfort is the flat floor, a wide seat, plenty of headroom and legroom, along with a centre armrest and dedicated AC vents. For variants equipped with it, the large panoramic sunroof helps elevate the cabin’s airy feel.

No, the MG Hector’s claimed fuel economy is lower than those of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

The base variant of the MG Hector is priced higher than the equivalent Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, but its top-spec 5-seater variant with the CVT gearbox is more affordable than its Creta and Seltos counterparts.

With a 10 percent downpayment, 9 percent rate of interest and a 5-year loan tenure, the MG Hector’s base variant will have an EMI of Rs 26,571. These figures will vary based on your location and banking partner.

The MG Hector Shield Protect maintenance plan costs Rs 26,000, and can be bought within 10,000km or 12 months from the date of purchasing the car.
