Our take on this /// Verdict

The MG Hector Smart EX CVT is a compelling package that balances comfort, features, and performance. My experience with this vehicle has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly with its refined CVT transmission, which makes city driving remarkably smooth and relaxed. The interior is luxurious, with premium materials and ample space, including a spacious third row, although its more suited for shorter journeys. The cars safety features, such as the 5-star GNCAP rating and disc brakes on all four wheels, provide peace of mind. However, the CVTs rubber-band effect and the lackluster fuel efficiency are notable drawbacks. Despite these, the Hectors extensive list of smart features, comfortable ride, and strong road presence make it a solid choice for those seeking a feature-packed and comfortable SUV.

Price

The MG Hector Smart EX CVT is priced competitively in the Indian market, with an ex-showroom price of around Rs 18.7 lakh in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around Rs 22-23 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. Given the plethora of features, the spacious and luxurious interior, and the overall driving experience, I find the pricing to be reasonable. The value-for-money proposition is strong, especially considering the extensive feature list and the premium feel of the vehicle.
