I own MG Hector CVT since July 21, this car is all good but I feel, many times, frustrated while driving it. Reasons- 1. It's voice recognition system does not understand anything. So voice commands become useless. 2. Software upgradation is herculean task. 3. Interior though looks elegant, has noises coming from Gear Panel, side doors, Seatbelt compartment. 4. Lower mileage is unjustifiably low. 5. Fake engine light crops up now and then. This is not a showroom issue but company issue, any showroom is not able to correct these issues. I am sharing because if you are planning to buy Hector, also consider these issues, before spending premium on the product. Neeraj Joshi.
Gives fuel efficiency of 5-6 kmpl. Buy at your own risk. You will end up spending a lot on fuel. It is same philosophy where printer is cheap but ink is expensive. Better to buy a car that gives better fuel efficiency even if it costs little extra

Are you implying even the diesel manual gives just 5-6 kmpl?

the MG Hector could really do with 4WD . . . and the turbo 1.5 I4 with the CVT needs some serious re-tuning . . . the ADAS could do with a HUD . . . a pair of front & rear lateral strut bars and stiffer anti-roll bars should take care of the wavy handling of the Hector . . . front & rear lateral strut bars will improve the Hector torsional rigidity & structural integrity . . . and add stiffer anti-roll bars to mix and that'll improve it's handling characteristics . . .
Watching Jay review a car reminds me of Jai from Sholay explaining to mausi ji, about his friend having bad habits but still he is very good 😅😅😅
All the features are awesome👌
Kindly make video on diesel powertrain model.
Took a test drive, very easy car to drive given the large size. What concerns me the body roll, even at low speed.

Another easy W for Jay 💪🏻
Hector have it's fan support. I personally never liked it when I drive it ( old hector) Now with Toyota hycross every car company will feel the blunt
This car brand sells is growing in India now because of luxury look's, advance features, safety, it's value for money....... 👌👍
I have been driving MG Hector Sharp Pro Manual Petrol & I couldn’t be happier. Its pure Luxury to drive, Very comfortable & Stylish in looks with impressive after sales service/Support. Fuel Efficiency- 10-12.5KMPL in City & 14-16.5KMPL on Highway. I can give screenshots from App if anyone want
still no automatic gearbox in diesel now days must for every car seeing traffic conditions in all city
Milege? For disel?
Guys tell me the downside of Harrier Facelift, the original Harrier had some complains like the steering has issues, so i need to know bout it ?
That mileage though😂
Hector looks muscular but damn those wheels. Chicken legs 🤣
Dont understand why no diesel automatic yet on offer..???????
I bought Scorpio N top model instead and that's total worth it
Got it delivery today for savy pro❤

Sir what is engine performance in manual sharppro petrol model?
NCAP rating ??
Problem with Adas ..it eats up the break pads very fast ..,
Only reason to buy this car is you get an iPad and a car 😂
Dream car 🥺❤️
I think a car should be car first instead of a gadget. After spending so much money the engine is not punchy, ride and handling far far away from German Cars but it looks good no doubt.
Only german petrol engine can give performance and mileage
😂Who designed that front Big😅Gril😂It seems execution of Idea after overthinking 😂
With Maruti and Toyota offering such great fuel efficiency and solid build quality (expecting at least 4 star GNCAP score), MG will find it difficult to penetrate this segment. If you are driving enthusiast and don't like Maruti or Toyota, VW and Skoda have great cars in this price range with 1.5 DSG gearbox.
High time a diesel automatic is introduced by MG for the Hector.

Mileage in CITY for Automatic Petrol is 6 or 7 km
The redesigned front grill is too polarizing! Not many will like it.

Tata harrier face-lift 2023 ❤️
My god nowadays even Audi Benz and some other luxury brand cars owns more 15 kmpl, but MG ?????. And as one friend said without Diesel Auto MG can't compete in market...
I think Autocar is also showing what my mind are upto after watching, Not a good deal with thi pathetic upgrade ✌️
Everything is Good, Except Mileage.
Front grill less MG, more Lexus.
Body roll and service cost is high
Still xuv 700 is best 😎
Front Grill 🤮 CVT 🤮
I bought a mg hector 2023 last month by spending 25 lakhs.. In the mere 700km covered in vehicle.. I have faced numerous issues.. Everytime i have to travel 40-45 km to ur service centre for issue... I did a big mistake by spending such a huge amount on such an unreliable chinese brand.. I will never recommend this vehicle to anyone.
Worst fuel economy. 5 to 7
2lakhh kab dog eee😆😆😆😆😆
Design too angular. Pretty sure it won't appeal to majority of the buyers.
My friend having lot of maintenance with mg hector diesel after 3 years.. Never invest in MG u will regret..
MG Latur dealership have done fraud with me . They quoted wrong ex showroom price. But the actual ex showroom price is less by 1 lakh. Cheat company MG
Doesn’t even look like SUV. More like MUV
Not upto mark
Both varieties have less than 10kmpl🤦🤦
