Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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
Maruti XL6
- The redesigned front face packs more attitude and offers better road presence.
- New safety and premium features are a welcome addition
- Captain seats are large and comfortable
- Spacious 3rd row
- High claimed fuel efficiency of 20.97kmpl (MT) and 20.27kmpl (AT)

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
Maruti XL6
- Some useful features like automatic day/night IRVM, rear window blinds and rear cup holders are still missing.
- No diesel option
- Curtain airbags for rear occupants should have been part of the safety features.
