Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Citroen Basalt
  • Looks! Coupe SUV design turns a lot of heads
  • Rear seat space — great kneeroom and foot room. Ample headroom despite sloping roof
  • HUGE 470-litre boot space
  • Will accommodate a whole lot more than just a weekend’s worth of luggage easily.
MG Hector
  • Road presence. A large SUV that will get attention on the roads. Spacious and comfortable cabin. Ample space for six-footers. Loaded with features such as powered seats
  • front seat ventilation
  • 14” Touchscreen and ADAS — feels like money well spent.
Citroen Basalt
  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof
  • cruise control
  • push-button start stop are sorely missed; 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond.
MG Hector
  • No diesel-automatic option. Will put off buyers with high running. Petrol engine is not particularly fuel efficient. Not recommended for heavy city use.
