Asked by: Anant Sheopurion Mar 10, 2026
I am looking to upgrade from a 2018 Ertiga VXI CNG to a petrol AT 7-seater for daily Mumbai city use majorly. I have shortlisted the MG Hector Plus Savvy Pro AT, Tata Safari Adventure X Petrol AT, XUV 7XO AX7 Petrol AT and Innova HyCross GXO (non-hybrid). Which one is the best option for long-term use, comfort for a large family of five, reliability and decent mileage?
Since mileage is a concern, the Toyota Innova HyCross will be ruled out here. The Hycross hybrid is a lot better, but the non-hybrid version is good for 7kpl at best, which isn't the best figure. The MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7XO are good and tech-laden, but the third row space is best for kids and short drives for adults.
A good option to consider would be the Kia Carens Clavis. The Clavis is an MPV that is high on practicality and comfort, and gets multiple powertrain options and lots of features. The third row is spacious and close to the Ertiga in terms of roominess, thereby even adults can travel in comfort. The ride quality is good, and the turbo-petrol engine has enough punch even with a full load. The Clavis is also high on features, and it will be the best choice among all the rest.

Hi, I want a car for the long term, at least 8 to 9 years, with a reliable and spacious automatic petrol engine and a big boot space. My running will be about 1000 km per month, mostly in the city, with a couple of outstation trips every 3 months. I am confused between the new Seltos HTX DCT and the Hector/Hector Plus top models. I seek good features with a futuristic approach, as the car should not get obsolete in 4 to 5 years.
The Kia Seltos would be the right pick for you. The second-gen Seltos was launched just a few months ago and packs in the latest features. Further, the new Seltos is built on a new-gen platform that brings with it advancements in technology and refinement, as well as the promise of greater safety. In that sense, the Seltos is a newer and more future-proof package. The Seltos DCT HTX is a good pick.
The MG Hector has been refreshed multiple times, but under the skin, it is no different to the car that was launched in 2019.

Asked by: Sanket Dhamneon Mar 4, 2026
Can you help me buy a new car? My budget is Rs. 24-25 lakh, and if I have to choose between Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra, and MG Hector, which one should I opt for? I prefer the top-end automatic model. Should I go for a petrol engine or a diesel?
If you want peace of mind, ownership, and a well-rounded package, the Kia Seltos is the easiest recommendation. Regardless of which engine you choose, it delivers a satisfying experience. The 1.5 turbo petrol is great if you enjoy strong performance, especially on highways. The 1.5 naturally aspirated petrol with the CVT automatic is smooth and relaxed, making it ideal for city driving. And if you have high running, particularly on highways, the diesel option is refined and efficient. On top of all this, the Seltos feels premium inside, offers good space and comfort for four adults and is very competitively priced.
If you are considering the Tata Sierra, the turbo-petrol would be the better engine choice. It is refined, punchy and enjoyable to drive. The diesel also performs well but is not as refined as the Kia diesel unit, while the naturally aspirated petrol can feel underpowered, particularly in fast moving traffic or on highways.
In terms of space, the Sierra actually has an advantage over the Seltos. Its wider body gives it a more comfortable five-seat layout, and the seats and suspension make it a good long distance cruiser.
The MG Hector still offers excellent value, especially after the recent update that added more features and competitive pricing. It offers a phenomenal rear seat space and comfort, which makes it a good choice if the car will often be chauffeur-driven. However, it is not as engaging to drive as the Seltos or the Sierra.

Hello, I am planning to buy a 6-seater car, and the MG Hector Savvy Pro Petrol Automatic is what I liked the most. Is it a good choice? Are there any other 6-seater options? Middle-row captain seats are a mandatory requirement for me. My budget is a maximum of ₹23 lakh. Thanks in advance. Happy motoring.
The MG Hector Savvy Pro petrol automatic is a good choice. It’s spacious, comfortable and very well-equipped for the price. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with the CVT is smooth, especially in stop-and-go city driving, which makes it easy to live with daily. The captain seats in the middle row are genuinely comfortable, and adding to the comfort is the soft ride quality, along with the relatively low step-in height, which makes getting in and out quite easy for family members.
The main downside of the Hector is fuel efficiency. If your running is limited, you can live with it, but if you frequently do long drives, the higher fuel consumption will show. Also, the suspension is tuned on the softer side. While that helps with comfort, at highway speeds, it doesn’t feel as planted or as confidence-inspiring as something like the Tata Safari.
In your budget, the Safari is really the only other proper 6-seater with middle-row captain seats worth considering. This Tata car is also spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine is smooth and strong enough for most needs, and the Safari feels more stable at higher speeds. It also gets a useful “Boss Mode,” which allows the rear passenger to electrically move the front passenger seat forward for more legroom.

Hi. I drive a 2014 Ertiga diesel. I am 66 years old and wondering which vehicle I should change to. My current driving is about 250-300km of city driving per month and one outstation trip of about 200km once every three months. I am now looking for a 5-seater with ample boot space. Can you suggest a suitable option?
Without knowing your budget, it's hard to pinpoint exactly which car to recommend to you. However, given you're looking to upgrade from a 12-year-old Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, and given your requirements, we would recommend the MG Hector.
It's not a particularly flashy or exciting car, but when it comes to space for five, comfort and practicality, it is the best in its segment. The biggest highlight is its 587-litre boot, which is huge for the segment, and on top of that, it is incredibly comfortable as well.
If you don't mind a manual gearbox, the 2.0-litre diesel is strong and relatively efficient. If you want an automatic, however, you have to choose the petrol CVT, which is not very fuel efficient, but then your usage is quite low, so perhaps it won't be that much of an issue.

I want to buy a 7-seater car, and I like the MG Hector Plus. I like its build quality, interior and price. Should I go for it or look at the Tata Safari or 7XO?
While there's a lot to like about the MG Hector Plus, like its upmarket interior and plush ride comfort, it isn't a spacious or comfortable seven-seater, due to a cramped third row.
The Tata Safari is certainly a better 7-seater SUV. Passengers will be comfortable in all three rows, and this Tata car feels tough and well-built. It is also well-equipped and has a stronger pair of engines - turbo-petrol and diesel.

Hi Team. I am planning to buy a new SUV, and I took a test drive of the Tata Sierra and MG Hector. I loved the MG Hector, and the feel is great. I know there is a concern around mileage, but it is okay for me as my driving is not much. Please suggest if I can go ahead with the Hector or if I should consider some other option.
The MG Hector is a good choice if you’re happy with the way it drives and feels. It’s a size up from the Sierra and offers a wider, more accommodating rear seat. In fact, Hector’s back seat is among the most comfortable in its class. It’s easy to get in and out of, and the soft ride only adds to the sense of comfort. The boot is larger than the Sierra’s too, with a generous 587 litres of space.
The Tata Sierra is a good option as well and is nicer to drive, but it is a bit more expensive and not as spacious as the Hector. Yes, the Hector does have a reputation for being a bit of a gas guzzler, but, as you mentioned, since you don’t drive much, it shouldn’t hit your pocket too hard.

I am confused about buying a new car. I have shortlisted the Mahindra XEV 9S, Kia Seltos, and the new MG Hector. My travel is around 800 km per month with occasional highway drives, and my budget is ₹30 lakhs. I need a 5-seater with good boot space. My biggest confusion is whether I should go for an EV or an ICE SUV. Please advise.
Since your priorities revolve around space - both for 5 passengers and in the boot - of these, you should choose the MG Hector. It might not be the most engaging to drive, but it absolutely aces the requirements of space and comfort.
It is a big vehicle with a relatively short bonnet, which means the cabin size is very large, and this is utilised well both in the back seat and in the boot, which stands at a cavernous 587 litres!
Moreover, the MG Hector is very comfortable over poor roads, and makes for a great chauffeur-driven vehicle.
Do note, however, that if you choose the petrol engine, fuel economy is very poor; the diesel is much better in this respect. Though your usage is quite low, since you do occasional highway runs, we recommend you stick with an ICE SUV for the moment.

MG Hector or Mahindra XUV 7XO manual mid-variants - which is a better option?
The choice between the two really comes down to what you want from your car. If the rear seats are very important, the MG Hector is a good choice. The space in the second row is very good with ample head and legroom for even six-footers, and the seat is also wide enough to seat three abreast easily.
The floor is also flat, so the middle passenger will be able to sit comfortably without having the centre tunnel (hump). However is almost every other area, in terms of engine performance and refinement, ride comfort, road holding and features, the Mahindra XUV 7XO is the better of the two.

I currently have a 2013 Grand i10 petrol top variant, and I am planning to upgrade to the MG Hector Plus Petrol CVT Savvy Pro variant. I find it very comfortable, premium-feeling, and value for money. My yearly driving is around 9,000 km, with 40% in the city and 60% on the highway. I do have a doubt because sales in India are quite low for this car. Is it a good buy for me?
The MG Hector Plus is a great value for money, delivering a lot of bang for your buck, especially when it comes to space and comfort, both of which are excellent. It's also very well-equipped, although its large touchscreen is laggy and has been known to have glitches.
Sales have slowed compared to when the SUV was launched in 2019, as newer or updated competition has entered the segment. Although the Hector has received its own share of updates, including the smoother CVT replacing the old DCT gearbox, they have not been as comprehensive as others.
Another drawback is that there is no diesel automatic option, which buyers in this segment want, and which rivals such as the Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7XO do offer. Additionally, the petrol CVT powertrain has very poor fuel efficiency, which is something you should keep in mind, given your high usage.
