        MG is suitable and comfortable for long drives. It’s stable on the road, and the pickup is excellent. The music system is good, and the seats are very comfortable. The design looks great, and it’s cost-effective as well. Overall, a well-rounded vehicle.

        The MG Hector is a solid choice for those seeking a spacious, feature-rich, and comfortable SUV, especially if they prioritize value and a bold design. However, potential buyers should be aware of the potential for lower fuel economy and be prepared for a less engaging driving experience compared to some other SUVs in the segment.

        Car condition is very good. Comfort level is very good. You can drive this car for 24 hours with small brakes in between. Features are more as compare to other cars.
