As expected the hector is big,intimidating and feature packed with lots of industry firsts in it and also very promising future tech.MG Hector comes with 2 engine options and they are 1.5 lit turbocharged petrol with 48v mild hybrid tech to enhance and provide some extra torque and also mileage and 2.0 lit multi-jet diesel engine from fiat and also the petrol is offered with a DCT gear box which produces about 143 Ps of power and 250 Nm of torque and also the diesel is the same 170 Ps and 350 Nm of torque available in only manual as of now and we can expect a 6-speed automatic in upcoming year and coming to the car itself we will briefly discuss about it.
1.Design :It's undoubtedly a MG and the proportions are quite striking and also it stands unique from the competition itself.The Big grille at front and the LED headlamps and the tail lamps do look slim yet striking.It's a handsome looking suv with that kinked up back and also the chrome line running till the end and my only gribe is the smaller 17 inch wheels as while they are going to enter a premium segment they could have added a bigger ones as they look good but small.
2.Engine : Engines are same 1.5 lit petrol and 2.0 lit diesel as before and there is no big change in their power and others but the petrol is the one that feels punchy and also offers a DCT and diesel has no auto gearbox.After driving the car only one can say if there is any better driving dynamics or something.
3.Features : I feel like in this particular segment mg has created some wild curiosity like no other car maker because the features such as the big 10.4 inch touch system that offers 100 different functionalities including ac,360 deg camera and many industry firsts like infinity sound system with 4 speakers,4 tweeters,sub-woofer and an amplifier make this car a great purchase.Other than these the huge panoramic sunroof,one touch tail gate and reclining back seats with a single lever for push back and massive 587 lit boot makes it a damn good suv. They also mentioned one important thing and i.e, the all LED package which means the tail lamps,headlamps,drls and also they offer industry first 6 way adjustable driver seat with 4 way adjustable co-passenger seat and also reverse tachometer and that 7 inch cluster unit also looks quite good.There is also mood lighting that can change according to our liking or also automatic.
Even though there are this many things are offered by MG there are some space for improvements like
1.Bigger wheels
2.C pillar design feels like it's an mpv not a suv
The above two are not a deal breakers but merely my thoughts and things like the showrooms and all matter as it's a new brand,don't know how maintenance cost might be and all do create some question but these and all should be taken care of by the company.One more important aspect is that mg should price this suv very carefully because it has created a premium feel in and out and this could scare some customers as this might be very costly like hyundai tuscon but pricing it in the right range will make a huge impact to the company in india for their future offerings to come.
