  • Has top-class safety standards with 6 airbags and 5-star GLOBAL NCAP ratings.
  • Comes with strong build quality and brilliant driving dynamics
  • It has almost every feature in the segment. These include ventilated seats, wireless charging, and connectivity.
  • Both engines are powerful and have decent fuel economy.
  • The 1.5L TSI EVO motor gets cylinder de-activation technology for enhanced fuel efficiency.
  • The boot space is decent in numbers but has great space and practicality.
  • It gives a proper SUV stance with its big dody and sharp body lines
  • The more blingy design gives it a new look after the facelift
  • It comes loaded with features. For example, it has a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It also has auto-turn indicators and projector LED headlamps. Plus, a panoramic sunroof, wireless connectivity, an electric tailgate, and an 8-speaker Infinity S
  • It offers many safety features. These include level-2 ADAS with a 360-camera, 6 airbags, all-4 disc brakes, front parking sensors, ESP, hill-hold assist, and a traction control system.
  • It is available in multiple seating options. The standard is a 5-seater. The Hector Plus is available in a 6- and 7-seater option.
  • Powerful turbo petrol and diesel engines are available. The diesel motor is torquey and fuel-efficient.
  • The Hector's interior has a premium appeal. It has leatherette seats, door trims, ambient lighting, and comfortable seating.
  • The interior is very spacious and the cabin can easily accommodate 5-adults
  • A smooth CVT gearbox is on offer
  • The 5-seater variant offers humongous boot space of 587 litres
Cons
  • The cabin space could have been improved and seating 3 passengers in the rear can be a tight fit.
  • The plastic quality could have been improved on some panels.
  • The suspension setup is on the stiffer side which filters in potholes and bumps at slow speeds.
  • There is no diesel or hybrid option on offer.
  • It misses on Highline TPMS.
  • The chrome on the front grille is a bit over, and might not appeal to everyone
  • The touchscreen infotainment is smooth and crisp but not driver-friendly
  • The touchscreen integrates the AC controls. It takes a bit of effort to control aircon settings while driving.
  • The diesel engine comes with a manual transmission only. There is no option for a diesel automatic variant.
  • ADAS is available in petrol variants only
  • The turbo petrol motor is not much fuel efficient which can be a bummer in city traffic
  • The substantial size of the body accentuates the body roll within the cabin
  • In the Plus variants, the third row is confined and is best suited for children
