MG Hector Detailed Review

• Hector Performance

  The MG Hector has been on sale with as many as three engine options – 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre petrol hybrid and 2.0-litre diesel. Among these, our favourite is the Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre Multijet motor that is found even under the hoods of Jeep Compass and Tata Harrier. For the Hector, this oil-burner outputs 170 PS-350 Nm. The oil-burner offers a strong performance with decent refinement for a diesel engine. The turbo-lag is well-contained and even the in-gear acceleration is pretty strong. The only grouse we have is with the very sharp clutch.

  The petrol engine is also pretty smooth and the NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) levels are quite low. However, in spite of the petrol variant having a lower kerb weight, the 100 Nm difference in the torque output of the micro-hybrid-equipped version and the diesel variant is highly felt. That said, in most conditions, the petrol motor will feel adequately powerful and even impress with the high refinement. The transmission offers a smooth experience and even the clutch action is better. The carmaker claims a 12 percent increase in efficiency through the 48V mild-hybrid setup along with a 11 per cent drop in the CO2 emissions. The 6-speed dual-clutch transmission performs efficiency but won’t feel as sharp as DSG or DCT units from VW Group and Hyundai, respectively. The CVT offers a jerk-free performance and works best for urban use.

  Summary

  Thanks to multiple engine-gearbox combinations on offer, it gets fairly easy for buyers to choose the variant that best suits their usage pattern.

• Hector Exterior

  With the facelift, the MG Hector received a refreshed front bumper, updated grille, new alloy wheels and some minor revisions for the rear profile. However, it’s important to note here that these updates haven’t really changed the basic visual identity of the SUV. The front fascia continues to look bold with the multi-tier lighting setup with the LED DRLs at the hood level and the main beams at a lower position. Giving a bold character to the nose, however, is a chrome grille that makes the SUV look really very butch.

  The side profile has a MPVish look but with the advent of the 18-inch alloy wheels with the facelift, the Hector has started looking a bit less slab-sided. The rear-end will remind you of the older generation of the Audi Q5 but the sleek taillamps, combined with the faux skid plate and a well-sculpted boot, makes this SUV look sufficiently upmarket. Overall, the MG Hector enjoys a strong road presence due to its big dimensions and the loud chrome-laden front-end. Even features like the dynamic turn signals and the sporty spoiler lend this SUV a pretty sporty touch, but we aren’t big fans of those ‘Internet Inside’ badges.

  

  Summary

  The MG Hector looks sufficiently premium due to the butch front-end and the Audi Q5-inspired rear but the side profile is slightly MPVish even after receiving a bigger set of alloy wheels.

• Hector Interior

  One thing that you’re sure to notice as soon as you get into any of the front seats is the huge 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment unit. The touchscreen will offer a range of features such as aircon controls, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation options. The options list includes a 360-degree camera display, iSMART connected apps, rain-sensing wipers, a large panoramic sunroof, cruise control, ambient lighting and an electric tailgate. The facelift that was launched in January 2021 brought with it a handful of additional features in the form of ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone charger, dual-tone beige-black upholstery and leather seats. Moreover, Hector has received support for a set of Hinglish voice commands like “Hello MG, Sunroof khol do.

   

  

  The large dimensions translate into a very spacious cabin, both at the front as well as the rear. The seats are pretty supportive with the right amount of cushioning and will keep you comfortable on long road trips. There’s plenty of storage space with many cubby holes strewn across the cabin. Moreover, the boot space is a massive 587-litre with all the rows up and can carry a lot of luggage.

  The only strange bit here is the carmaker offering tachometer movement in an anti-clockwise movement. What this leads to is the speedo and the tacho needle moving in opposite directions. Thankfully, the 7-inch MID offers attractive graphics with a neat layout. It also offers a host of information including navigation alerts, tyre pressure status and navigational alerts.

  Summary

  MG Hector offers a spacious cabin and a feature-laden cabin that keeps all occupants comfortable even on long road trips.

• Hector Ride and Handling

  The MG Hector isn’t too poised around the corners; and in spite of sufficiently powerful engine options, it’s no driver’s car. The high ride height and the long overhangs, along with the soft suspension setting, have led to a high body roll. The plus side of the softly sprung suspension is that the car keeps everyone comfortable on broken roads. Even the light steering won’t be a delight to the driving enthusiasts but it helps one easily make his way through the crowded city streets.

  The high-speed stability is nothing to write home about. While things never get too unnerving, the Hector doesn’t feel as confident as either the Compass or the Harrier. There’s even a lot of understeer in the corners, which, together with the high body roll, will keep you from going fast on mountain roads. Overall, the ride-handling package comes across as a mixed bag. The soft suspension keeps everyone comfortable at low-to-moderate speeds but the high body-roll and rather ordinary high speed stability will definitely leave the driver wanting for more. Plus, the light steering that acts as a boon in the city plays a huge spoilsport at high speeds.

  Summary

  The MG Hector will keep all occupants fairly comfortable in urban conditions but the driving enthusiasts will be left disappointed with the SUV high-speed handling characteristics.

• Hector Safety

  MG Hector is yet to be tested by Global NCAP but the gamut of passive and active safety features it comes with should work well to offer protection to the occupants in an unfortunate event of a crash. Highlights of the standard safety equipment list includes - Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchors and rear parking sensors. The higher versions even get side and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, hill hold control, 360-degree camera, and fatigue warning.

  Moreover, the connected features suite offers emergency calling facility. Plus, one even benefits from geo-fencing and vehicle collision alarm features. Finally, there’s even an app to track stolen vehicles in case of theft.

  

  Summary

  The MG Hector is yet to be tested by Global NCAP but comes with a handful of active and passive safety features.
