Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra XUV500
- In terms of performance, the XUV500 is an all-rounder. It is not only a good highway mile muncher but is also perfect four regular city commute
- 4WD option offered with both manual and automatic transmissions
- Feature Loaded: Even the base variant of the XUV500 is loaded with features such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, all wheel disc brakes, powered wing mirrors, basic music system with 6-inch display, tilt steering, manual AC and all four power windows.
- The XUV500 is the only SUV in its class to offer an automatic transmission with every variant except the base
- The XUV500 has a lot of road presence thanks to its large dimensions and muscular design
MG Hector
- Feels and looks premium inside and out
- Generous cabin space, comfortable for even taller passengers
- Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
- Safety kit boosted by the inclusion of ADAS
- A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality

Mahindra XUV500
- Petrol derivative available only with an automatic transmission
- Quality of some of the switches and the AC vents aren’t up to the mark, especially when you consider the price of the higher-spec variants
- The XUV500 is a can seat seven. However, the third row is not a comfortable place to be in. It is best suited for kids as there is not enough headroom, shoulder room or kneeroom for an adult to sit comfortably
- The 4WD variant is exclusive to the top-spec W11(O) variant, which puts it out of reach for many buyers
- With all seats up, the amount of space left for luggage is very less, barely enough for a laptop bag. Its rival, the Hexa, has enough room for some more bags
MG Hector
- Its styling could seem too blingy to some buyers
- Has lost out on the mild-hybrid tech; still no diesel-auto combo
- Its electronics could have been more responsive
- Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
- Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue
