Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Kia Seltos

  • ADAS 2.0
  • panoramic sunroof and dual zone climate control. New more powerful turbo petrol. Plenty of drivetrain options including a diesel engine.
MG Hector Plus
  • Impressive road presence; this large SUV grabs attention on the road. Spacious and comfortable cabin
  • offering ample room even for six-foot-tall individuals. Abundant features
  • including powered seats
  • front seat ventilation
  • a 14-inch touchscreen
  • and ADAS – feels like a worthwhile investment.
Kia Seltos
  • Prices will go up. Some could feel that the visual changes are not enough.
MG Hector Plus
  • Lack of a diesel-automatic option
  • which might not suit buyers with high running. Petrol engine isn't particularly fuel-efficient
  • making it less suitable for extensive city driving. Third row space is not great. Very cramped for adults.
