Pros Cons of MG Hector

Pros

  • The 2023 facelift offers a large, 14-inch infotainment display with advanced features like MG Assistant, wireless Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay, enhancing the user experience.
  • It comes equipped with Level-2 ADAS, including safety features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking, making it one of the safest SUVs in its class.
  • The Hector retains its powerful engine options, including a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine that produces 168 bhp and 350 Nm of torque, providing solid performance on both highways and city roads.

Cons

  • There’s a noticeable turbo lag, especially in the petrol engine variant, which can make acceleration feel delayed at lower speeds.
  • The body roll is significant due to the Hector's large size, affecting high-speed cornering stability and overall driving dynamics.
  • The automated turn indicators can be overly sensitive, reacting to minor steering inputs, which may become annoying during regular driving

Verdict

The 2023 MG Hector brings significant updates in both technology and safety, making it a standout option in the mid-size SUV segment. While it suffers from some issues like turbo lag and body roll, its advanced features, large infotainment system, and ADAS make it a highly appealing choice for tech-savvy buyers who value comfort and safety. The refreshed design and practical pricing further cement its position as a strong contender in the market.

Pros Cons of Mahindra XUV500

Pros

  • Looks better than before. Facelift ups the premium quotient
  • Seats are well bolstered
  • More power available on the diesel

Cons

  • There's a hint of body roll
  • Low on power at lower rpms
  • Understeers when you take a corner

Verdict

Mahindra is offering some new colours on the XUV500 - Crimson Red and Mystic copper, both of which we did not get to see; but the Crimson Red looked promising on the presentation board. Mahindra will hope the refresh brings its customer base back into M&M showrooms and more importantly, back to driving the once popular XUV500.
