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.
