          Not Sure, Which car to buy?

          Let us help you find the dream car

          Pros and Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

            Hyundai Kona Electric

            • Claimed range of 452km as per ARAI. Even if the real world range drops by a big margin, there’s enough for a week’s worth of commuting
            • 3 year/unlimited km warranty on the car & 8 year/1,60,000km warranty for the battery pack
            • Feature loaded electric car. Gets goodies like LED projector headlamps, powered driver seat, heated and cooled front seats, sunroof, 8-inch touchscreen, 6 airbags, traction control & a lot more
            • Super smooth drive experience. Immediate acceleration, nearly noise free driving and easy to understand driving behaviour make it a good purchase for first time electric vehicle buyers
            • Multiple charging options - DC fast charge, level 2 AC wallbox charger & level 1 portable charger
            • Low running cost. Hyundai claims overall operational cost, including services, is 1/5th of an equivalent petrol car

            MG Hector Plus

            • Easy-to-drive petrol and diesel engines.
            • Generous cabin space. Puts its wheelbase to good use, offering leg space even for occupants over 6ft tall
            • Segment leading features like a giant touchscreen, connected car features, and 11 Autonomous Level 2 features
            • Good ride comfort over bad roads
            • Impressive cabin quality

            Hyundai Kona Electric

            • Average cabin space. Not comparable to a similarly priced petrol/diesel SUV like the Jeep Compass or Hyundai Tucson
            • Average boot space is on par with sub-10 lakh Rupee hatchbacks
            • Limited traveling charge options. You will depend on availability of fast charge stations or have to use the portable charger that takes several hours for a full charge
            • Lacks the road presence and size of a price rival like the Compass or Tucson

            MG Hector Plus

            • ADAS is limited to the top-spec trim only
            • The lack of a diesel automatic powertrain
            • Design, while distinctive, may not be to everyone’s taste. Styling may be too busy for some
            • Large touchscreen is not ergonomic to use on the move
