Pros and Cons

  • Top-notch safety: Up to 7 airbags, ESC, Level 2 ADAS, live phone surveillance and more!
  • Tech-overload! Triple 12.3-inch screens as standard, 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, panoramic sunroof, front and rear seat ventilation, and more.
  • Smooth power delivery, electric boss button, sunshades, rear chargers make it a good backseat owner experience.
  • Plenty spacious and practical for the family’s use.
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
Mahindra XEV 9S
  • Not much boot space with the third-row in use. You can store small bags in the 150L front trunk though.
  • Third-row space is strictly ok. Suitable for short adults or kids. They will sit in a knees-up position.
  • Ride quality feels soft/notably bouncy. Absorbs bad road shocks well but movement on recovery needs to be controlled quicker.
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
