Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives

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.

Skoda Rapid

  • Build quality. Peppy and efficient turbo-petrol engine. New 6-speed torque converter has no power lag. Ride and handling.

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.

Skoda Rapid

  • Missing modern features. Transmission too eager for slow daily commutes and weak infotainment package.

    Superb engine and feature rich 

    You get a new features in this SUV and it offers a big touchscreen and comes with the massive sunroof. The build quality of this SUV is very solid and the space in both the rows are just amazing and the seats are highly comfortable and the car is wide and great for three passangers. The petrol engine is very smooth and the power is very great and is great for both city and highway but if someone want high performance the diesel engine is outstanding for this. Overall both the engine is great and the driving comfort is effortless.

    Featuristic and comfy car 

    MG Hector is a road crusher with all the latest technology bundled into it. The car’s 360-degree camera view park assist, panoramic sunroof, premium sound system, and 14-inch touchscreen system set it apart in terms of convenience and luxury. The Level 2 ADAS and autopilot take driving to the next level, and thanks to the beautiful interior design and comfortable cabin, you will enjoy it even more. Even with minor negatives such as the touchscreen being laggy and average 360-degree camera quality, the Hector has top-notch technology and luxurious comfort which makes it the best choice.

    Loaded with features 

    My MG Hector is a spacious and feature-packed SUV that's great for my familiy and road trips. It has plenty of room inside for passengers and luggage , making it comfortable for long journeys. The Hector comes with lots of modern features, like a large touchscreen infotainment system and smartphone connectivity, to keep me entertained and connected on the road. It is equipped with safety features like airbags and advanced driver assistance systems to keep me safe on rides.. But it has a higher price which is not for budget conscious riders .
