If you genuinely love the Hector and are getting a well-maintained 2022 diesel for around Rs. 12 lakh, it is a very good option. The Hector is a spacious, comfortable SUV with a genuinely premium feel, and the diesel engine is well suited to highway driving and long-distance touring.The Tomahawk is a more modern product, but if you do not like the car, there is no point forcing yourself into it. The Hector diesel is a proven package and at that price point represents strong value in the used market. Just make sure the service history is clean and the car has been well maintained.If you are happy with the mileage you are getting from the EcoSport and your priority is space, comfort and a premium feel, the Hector diesel is the right choice.

Go for the Tata Harrier diesel automatic. With your budget of Rs. 30 lakh and predominantly highway usage, the Harrier is the best fit among your shortlist. It has a strong diesel engine, a comfortable ride and a spacious cabin, making it well suited for long-distance touring. The Harrier also offers good safety credentials and a wide service network, which is important for long-term ownership.The Jeep Compass is a good driver's car with strong performance and a premium feel, but it is significantly more expensive for comparable variants and does not offer the same value proposition. The MG Hector is spacious and comfortable, but it does not feel as robust or as well suited to high-speed highway driving as the Harrier.The Harrier strikes the right balance between performance, comfort, safety and value, making it the most sensible choice for your requirements.

The MG Hector petrol CVT is a comfortable and feature-rich SUV, but its fuel efficiency is a known weakness, especially in city driving. The MG Hector price starts at 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). However, switching to a used Skoda Kodiaq is unlikely to solve your mileage concerns that you faced with the MG car. The Kodiaq is a larger, heavier SUV with a 2.0 TSI turbo petrol engine, and while it is more powerful and engaging to drive, it is not significantly more fuel efficient in real-world conditions. In fact, depending on your driving style and usage, it could even be thirstier than the Hector.The bigger issue here is the financial hit. Rs. 13 lakh offer on a 2023 top-end Hector is a steep depreciation, and moving to a used Kodiaq will likely require a substantial additional outlay. Unless you are genuinely unhappy with the Hector beyond just fuel efficiency, it is not a financially sensible move.If mileage is your primary concern, the better approach is to adjust your expectations or driving habits, or consider a hybrid or diesel SUV in your next purchase cycle. The Hector remains a comfortable and well-equipped SUV, and it is worth holding on to unless there is a stronger reason to change.

Do keep in mind that none of the models that you've shortlisted is particularly fuel-efficient. Among these, the Kia Seltos IVT is likely to be the most fuel efficient, delivering approximately 10.3kpl in the city and 14.22kpl on the highway, while the petrol-automatic versions of XUV 7XO and MG Hector are likely to return fuel efficiency in single digits. The MG Hector price starts at 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).Additionally, the interior of the Seltos feels upmarket. This Kia car is spacious, and for a family of three, it feels the right size. Sure, performance isn't as strong as the XUV 7XO; however, for leisurely drives with the family, its 1.5-petrol IVT combination works well.

Retaining your MG Hector is the sensible choice if it is otherwise serving you well, without niggles or issues. Sure, the Hector's fuel efficiency is expectedly low, but you will have to invest a huge sum over and above the resale value of your car to purchase the Mahindra XEV 9S, which will be a decision solely driven by a want, rather than a need.Also, over the next few years, the rate of depreciation for your Hector will flatten, and its value won't drop as drastically year after year. So, from a financial perspective, it makes more sense to hold on to it for a few more years.
