Our take on this /// Verdict

The MG Hector BlackStorm Diesel is a compelling package for those seeking a powerful, feature-rich, and stylish SUV. The 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine, producing 167.67 bhp and 350 Nm of torque, is a standout feature, offering a free-revving nature that makes it exceptional for both city and highway driving. The smooth-shifting 6-speed manual transmission complements the engine well, although the lack of an automatic transmission option might be a drawback for some. The interior is spacious and premium, with a large 14-inch touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, and advanced features like ADAS and a 360-degree camera. However, the soft suspension can be a bit of a letdown, especially for those who prefer sharper handling. Overall, the Hector BlackStorm Diesel is a great choice for those prioritizing comfort, power, and features, but it may not be the best fit for drivers seeking agile handling.

Price

The MG Hector BlackStorm Diesel is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price in New Delhi starts at Rs 22.57 lakh. When you factor in the RTO, insurance, and other costs, the on-road price jumps to around Rs 26.77 lakh. This pricing positions the Hector BlackStorm Diesel well against its competitors like the Mahindra XUV700 AX7L and the Tata Harrier Fearless. Given the extensive list of features, including powered front seats, ventilated seats, automatic climate control, and a robust infotainment system, the price seems justified for the value it offers. However, potential buyers should also consider the long-term costs, including maintenance and fuel efficiency, to make a well-rounded decision.
