Before writing these review I'm a car enthusiast have driven multiple car around the world and I always try to give an honest review,
Now coming to the MG hector well do not think this is the same company which once had these fancy convertible and u just have the name, this car is a Chinese car owned by SAIC motors.
Now one these car
Pros:
1) looks although is vary person t person still it is good
2) Space is best in class (comparing harrier,compass,seltos,Xuv 500)
Cons:
1) lack of power specially a 2 liter engine car it is shockingly under power with claim 169 bhp where as compass with 171 bhp seems way more powerful and it is surprising even car like ecosport/creta feels way more fun to drive.
2) Ghostly gear change even if you change the gear there is no change rpm for sometimes there is a sound from gearbox I have tested 2 hector and the same thing and these executive from showroom has no idea and they are very arrogent and saying this car has highest booking in india really funny business strategy.
3) Suspension : now that is a scary part, in some large bumps it feels like the parts are moving out similar bumps compass and xuv are running like anything , these is a cluntchy sound in any bump and the executives are saying it is happening is test drive car I really font think any suv with 3000 km should not make such thing.
4) The panoramic sunroof : it is taking long to open and close and especially once open making sound from he top, no way is is even close to compass sunroof.
5) The voice command does not work if there is mild sound outside.
60 The quality of the interior plastic seems cheap compared to the price range
7) The history of Chinese automobiles and their reliability (don't know what that will be in India and how that will go in the future)
Final verdict : If you are spending this much increase 1 lakh more and go with Jeep compass limited plus or Mahindra Xuv500 W11(O), I have not tested seltos so can not comment on that
else go for ecosport or creta you will spend less and these are value for money.
This car is very very over hyped this is at least 8 lakh more than the quality.
