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.

•34w

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.

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?

•30w

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.

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.You could also wait for the Tata Sierra, which could be a comfortable option worth considering.

I'm 6'4" tall. While most budget cars fit me in the driver's seat, none of them are comfortable for long time spent in the seat. The main issue is thigh support. Can you recommend a car that has a good ergonomic design for tall people? My budget is tight and can stretch to 25L. I sat in the Skoda Kodiaq with a seat extension. Loved it. So comfortable. But cannot afford a 50L car and bear the low mileage petrol costs.

•41w

You might consider the Mahindra XUV700 and the MG Hector as potential options. Both vehicles offer broad and supportive front seats, which could enhance comfort during long drives. Opting for a lower variant without a sunroof may provide additional headroom, which could be beneficial given your height.
