MG Hector top 5 reasons to buy — Comfort king!

The MG Hector is a family SUV that established the carmaker in the Indian market while also managing to carve a space in the market as a comfortable and tech-laden family SUV. From its first launch, the Hector has gone under numerous updates, including a mid-lifecycle facelift, further extending its appeal to the premium car buyers. In this article, we share the top 5 reasons to buy the MG Hector. 

Great road presence

The MG Hector commands a striking road presence that only a handful of SUVs manage to offer in its segment. The highlights of its design include split LED headlights, dual-tone and machined alloy wheels measuring 18-inch in size and a connected LED tail light cluster at the back. Speaking of its dimensions, the MG Hector measures 4,699 mm in length, 1,835 mm in width and 1,760 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2,750mm.

Loaded with features

Needless to say, the MG Hector is one of the most tech-laden SUVs in the Indian market. It has brought multiple segment first and segment-first features across the updates that MG introduced. A few of these features include LED headlights and tail lights, a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, powered driver and co-driver seats, multi-colour ambient lighting, a dual-pane panoramic glass roof and more.

Comfortable ride

If you are looking for a comfortable family SUV, the MG Hector should be at the top of your list. It offers a very likeable ride around the city and on the highways thanks to its compliant suspension setup. It deals with road imperfections with absolute grace with minimal body movement and noise. At higher speeds, it also manages to maintain its composure pretty well despite having a soft-sprung suspension.

Smooth petrol-auto powertrain

The MG Hector is the only SUV in its segment to offer a petrol-CVT powertrain combination. We believe its common knowledge that CVT transmissions are the best when it comes to part-throttle response and smoothness, both of which are somewhat missing in the MG Hector rivals. Its 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine puts out 143PS of power and 250Nm of torque. For those who seek better power and efficiency can also take a look at the 2.0-litre turbo diesel that’s on offer with the Hector.
