      MG Hector is a good and safe car with many loaded features. The mileage is slightly low, but otherwise, everything is fine. This car seems more suitable for premium buyers and may not fit the typical Indian mindset.

      It’s a good-looking car with an attractive design and a great price. The trusted Tata guarantee adds strong confidence, and the attractive discounts along with the loyalty bonus during exchange make it an even better deal.
