General information and overview

The MG Hector Smart DCT is a front-wheel-drive SUV that boasts a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine paired with a dual-clutch automatic transmission. It stands out for its SUV-like road presence, despite lacking all-wheel drive. The vehicle is feature-loaded, with a 10-inch touchscreen that controls everything from the climate system to the infotainment, though it can be laggy at times. The interior is plush, with soft-touch faux leather seats, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof, making it comfortable for both drivers and passengers. The ride quality is generally smooth, though it can get unsettled over larger undulations. With its generous cabin space, good straight-line stability, and numerous convenience features, the Hector is a solid choice for those seeking a comfortable and feature-rich SUV, but it may not satisfy enthusiasts looking for a more engaging drive.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The MG Hector Smart DCT is a mixed bag that caters well to certain needs but falls short in others. On the positive side, it offers a value-for-money proposition with its extensive feature list, including a large 10-inch touchscreen, ambient lighting, and a plethora of connected car features. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with good rear-seat legroom and a large boot space. However, the petrol DCT powertrain, while smooth and refined, lacks the punch needed for enthusiastic driving and suffers from subpar fuel efficiency. The laggy touchscreen and the lack of physical AC controls can be frustrating. If you prioritize comfort, space, and features over driving excitement and fuel efficiency, the Hector Smart DCT could be a good choice, but its not ideal for those seeking a spirited drive or better mileage.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

The MG Hector Smart DCT, equipped with a 1.5L Turbo Petrol engine and a 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), has seen a price hike in August 2024. The prices now start at Rs. 19.73 lakhs for the Shine Pro CVT variant. This increase is part of a broader price adjustment across the Hector lineup. I think this hike might affect its competitiveness in the market.
August 12, 2024
MG Motor India has introduced the 100-Year Limited Edition of the MG Hector, which includes the Smart DCT variant. This special edition celebrates MGs 100-year legacy and comes with unique cosmetic updates and additional features. The Smart DCT variant in this edition is priced at Rs. 24.36 lakhs. I believe this edition will appeal to those looking for a bit of exclusivity.
May 11, 2024
The MG Hector Smart DCT has been praised for its advanced technology, including the 14-inch HD Portrait Infotainment System and the Autonomous Level 2 (ADAS) features. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking, making it one of the safest SUVs in its segment. I think these features are a significant selling point for safety-conscious buyers.
April 16, 2024
In April 2024, MG Motor India launched the Hector Blackstorm Edition, which includes the Smart DCT variant. This edition features a special Starry Black paint and black theme interiors with gunmetal accents, giving it a sleek and premium look. The Blackstorm Sharp Pro CVT is priced at Rs. 24.73 lakhs. I believe the cosmetic updates enhance the SUVs appeal.
April 10, 2024
The MG Hector Smart DCT boasts a 360-degree camera view, which is a segment-first feature. This system, along with other advanced features like a panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats, enhances the driving and passenger experience. I think this feature is particularly useful in tight parking spaces.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The MG Hector Smart DCT is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the Smart trim ranges from approximately Rs. 18.5 lakh to Rs. 20.5 lakh, depending on the region and any additional features. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from Rs. 21 lakh to Rs. 24 lakh. While this places the Hector in a competitive bracket against other SUVs in its segment, the value lies in its extensive feature list and spacious cabin. However, the price may seem steep for some buyers given the fuel efficiency and performance drawbacks.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The fuel efficiency of the MG Hector Smart DCT is a significant concern. In real-world conditions, especially in city traffic, the mileage hovers around 5-7 kmpl, which is quite low. On highways, it can manage around 13-14 kmpl, but this is still below expectations. If you are concerned about running costs and mileage, the diesel variant or other more fuel-efficient options in the market might be more suitable.
