Trending Questions on MG Hector - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Shibashish Mukheon Dec 24, 2025
I currently drive a Kia Seltos HTE (base variant) and get around 8 to 9 kmpl in city conditions in Kolkata. Are there any hybrid options expected in the Seltos segment in the next 8 to 9 months? Will sedans like the Virtus or Verna get hybrid options? Are there plans for a Honda Elevate hybrid, MG Hector hybrid, or a Creta hybrid?
Unfortunately, there are no new hybrid midsize SUVs launching in the next 8-9 months; however, they will come later. The new Kia Seltos hybrid is coming, but not before late 2026 or early 2027, as Kia is working on localising the hybrid system to lower the price before the launch. The Honda Elevate will not receive a hybrid powertrain until its next generation, which is unlikely before 2028.
The Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia could eventually get hybrid technology, but that too is still a few years away. The Hyundai Verna is unlikely to receive a hybrid even with its upcoming facelift. The MG Hector Hybrid is in limbo and was not launched with the recent update, which proved to be just a minor facelift.
The Hyundai Creta will likely get a hybrid, but only when the next-generation model launches, likely around 2027. Tata and Mahindra are both said to be working on hybrid powertrains, but again, with launches only in the distant future.

With an on-road budget of ₹22 lakh, I want to buy an SUV in the next 4-5 months that is fun and punchy with reasonable fuel efficiency. I don’t want a Maruti car because the hybrids compromise boot space, and the others aren’t engaging to drive. My main requirements are good rear seat space and an enjoyable driving experience. The MG Hector and Tata Sierra have some variants that fit the bill, but they’re gas guzzlers. Apart from those, are there any other models that fit the bill?
The most fun-to-drive SUVs in your budget are the 1.5-litre Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq twins, which are very engaging thanks to their brilliant dynamics and a powerful, punchy engine.
Both are due for a facelift, and the upgraded Kushaq is just around the corner and scheduled to launch on January 20th 2026. The Volkswagen Taigun facelift will come a month later. Both these SUVs will see some significant enhancements to the air conditioning and interiors.
Top-end variants will come with rear massage seats, a first in the segment. However, one weakness is the rear seat space, which is relatively narrow and best for four.
Therefore, if this is a deal-breaker for you, you could consider the Tata Sierra. It is fantastically spacious, has superb ride and handling and an all-new 1.5 petrol engine, which is smooth, punchy and fairly efficient too.
The Sierra is not as engaging to drive as the Kushaq and Taigun, as it is heavier and has a relaxed power delivery. We would rule out the MG Hector in your case as it is too big, it's not a very engaging car to drive, and as you said, it guzzles fuel.

I have been using a Swift Dzire diesel for 20 years and am very happy with its performance. I drive about 40 km daily, mostly local. I want to buy a new car with a slightly larger boot (around 600 litres). My requirements are minimal, but essential daily-use features are a must. My budget is under ₹16 lakh on road. Please suggest suitable options.
The Tata Sierra is an excellent option for you, keeping your big boot space requirements in mind. The Sierra boasts a boot up to 622 litres (up to the roof), which should serve your needs well.
Moreover, it is a spacious car, and the Sierra Pure 1.5 Petrol MT variant that'll fit within your budget gets the basics like a touchscreen, electric mirror adjustment, keyless entry, rear AC vents, etc.
Another option that you can consider for its expansive boot space is the MG Hector.

Asked by: Vamshion Dec 18, 2025
I am very confused between the Tata Harrier and the MG Hector diesel. I like the Harrier’s looks but have concerns about service and maintenance costs. On the other hand, the MG offers a very good interior and lower maintenance costs. I currently drive a petrol Honda City. My maximum budget is ₹21 lakh. I am comparing the Harrier Pure X with the Hector Smart Pro. My monthly running is around 1,200km.
MG has updated the Hector recently, but the diesel prices are not out yet. MG has revised the prices of petrol variants downwards, and if it carries out a similar price drop in diesel, that will make Hector a compelling proposition.
We suggest you wait for MG to announce the price of the diesel variants too. Between the two, since you want better service and maintenance cost, we will suggest you go with the MG Hector.

Asked by: Dilip Rajadhyakson Dec 17, 2025
My car delivers very poor fuel efficiency in the city, around 6 kmpl. With steady driving on the highway, it gives about 12 to 13 kmpl. Is this typical of turbo-petrol engines? My car has a CVT transmission.
Yes, turbo petrol engines, especially when paired with an automatic transmission, tend to be quite thirsty in city driving. This is because the turbocharger frequently spools up to provide boost, which increases fuel consumption. Turbo petrols are also very throttle-sensitive.
With gentle driving, your MG Hector can return reasonable mileage, but slightly enthusiastic inputs can quickly pull the figures down. If fuel efficiency is a concern, you could consider a naturally aspirated petrol engine, which is generally more efficient and consistent in everyday driving conditions.

I am planning to buy the MG Hector Plus 7-seater. Is it advisable to buy one?
The MG Hector Plus is a competent three-row SUV, so it's definitely worth considering. It stands out for its comfy ride quality, spacious cabin and lengthy features list.
The Hector Plus can be had with either a 2.0-litre diesel and a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, with the latter also coming with a CVT automatic gearbox option. Prices for the MG Hector Plus 7 seater range from Rs 16.75 lakh to Rs 21.34 lakh (ex-showroom).

Asked by: Bharat Anandon Nov 24, 2025
Looking to buy a vehicle for city use with a daily running of 40-50 km and a budget below 20 lakhs. My top priority is back seat comfort, as it will be chauffeur-driven since my wife doesn’t drive. Vehicle safety is also a top priority. I am open to any body style. Kindly suggest.
The MG Hector is a great pick if rear seat comfort is your top priority. It has a very spacious and airy cabin, and rear seat comfort is good too. What also strengthens Hector's case is that ride comfort at low city speeds is plush. The Hector petrol makes sense given that you aren’t looking for a vehicle for city driving. Do bear in mind that the Hector petrol's fuel economy is poor.
There are also other options that deliver a good rear seat experience. Our top picks include the Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV700, Honda City and Kia Carens Clavis.

Asked by: Abhishek Aggarwaon Nov 21, 2025
I want to purchase the MG Hector Sharp Pro top-model manual petrol, as I require a big luggage space. Please suggest the pros and cons of this car.
The MG Hector is a tech-laden, large and spacious SUV. It has a voluminous 587-litre boot, so luggage space won't be an issue, and what's nice is that it can even be had with a third row of seats in the form of the Hector Plus.
This MG car stands out for its spacious and comfortable cabin, lengthy features list and absorbent low-speed ride. As for cons, it's not engaging to drive, and the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol CVT is thirsty, returning just 8.3kpl in the city and 9.6kpl on the highway in our fuel efficiency tests.

We are a retired couple looking to buy a new SUV that is safe and offers a very comfortable back seat. Our daily commute is around 35 km a day. Our budget is ₹25 lakh. Kindly suggest some choices for us. Thank you.
Given your requirement for good rear seat comfort, you could consider the MG Hector. It is a spacious SUV and scores well on rear seat comfort. However, fuel economy on the petrol version is poor.
Other options worth looking at include the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

Asked by: Parthon Oct 28, 2025
I’m looking for an SUV in which I’ll mostly be chauffeured but will occasionally drive myself. My budget is around ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom). I don’t prefer MPVs, though I can consider the Innova Crysta.
Unfortunately, the Toyota Innova Crysta will exceed your ₹20 lakh budget. However, there are several SUVs you can consider.
The Hyundai Creta is a great option with a spacious and comfortable back seat, great ride quality, and good features. However, if you don't mind settling for fewer features or increasing your budget slightly, the MG Hector is a great option as a chauffeur driven car, and decent to drive too.
