Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

MG Hector
- Looks: Feels premium inside and out
- Space is great with generous room even for taller passengers
- Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
- Strong safety kit with features like ADAS and 360-degree camera
- A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality
Tata Safari
- Design: Muscular styling is attractive and special Black Editions command great road presence
- Premium interior design: Touch-sensitive AC panel, ambient lighting and different finishes feel rich
- Feature loaded: 14.5” Samsung OLED touchscreen, 10.25” driver’s display, front and rear seat ventilation, 10-speaker JBL sound system
- Second row: Boss mode, slide and recline second row and winged headrests make for a great chauffeur driven car
- Powertrain options: Petrol and diesel engine options with manual and automatic transmissions

MG Hector
- The big grille and chrome elements can be too blingy for some buyers
- No automatic transmission with the diesel engine
- Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
- Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue
Tata Safari
- No all-wheel-drive option available
- Refinement: Diesel engine is loud, needs better insulation
- Quality control: Inconsistent panel gaps and tech package tends to glitch from time to time
