MG Hector looks good but the screen hangs all the time. Sometimes the AC controls don't respond on the touch panel. Very frustrating during hot days when you want to change temperature quickly. MG needs a serious software fix!

Electronics failing

Comfort is great but fuel efficiency is a nightmare. I am barely getting 7 kmpl in the city with AC. Also the software is very slow to boot up. Sometimes I have to wait for 30 seconds just to use the reverse camera.

Quality not as expected

It's a heavy car so the 1.5L engine feels stressed on hills. The suspension is too soft so it wobbles on highways. Interior is spacious but ergonomics are not great. Too much dependence on the touchscreen for everything.

Lagging experience

Getting 7-8 kmpl in Chennai traffic. Petrol cost is eating my pocket. Car is heavy so it feels underpowered when fully loaded. The 14 inch screen is more of a distraction than a help. Service is okay but expensive parts.

Disappointed with fuel

I bought the Hector for the tech but the screen is very laggy. Apple CarPlay keeps disconnecting. Also the car is too wide for city traffic, making it hard to drive in narrow streets. Mileage is around 8.5 kmpl only.

High maintenance

There are rattles from the sunroof after 3000km. Some plastic bits inside feel cheap for a car of this price. The CVT has a loud whining sound when pushed hard. Not happy with the fit and finish overall. Too much bling.

Average Performance

Multiple electronic glitches since day one. Sensors give false alarms. Service center keeps the car for days for small software updates. Resale value is also not good. Better to stick with Toyota or Mahindra.

Glitchy Infotainment

The voice command is a gimmick, it doesn't understand simple things. Screen is too big and takes too long to start. Difficult to use while driving. Fuel efficiency is very bad, expect 9 max. Not a great highway cruiser at high speeds.
