Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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
Mahindra Thar
- Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has stronger road presence than ever before.
- Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
- Design better suited for off-roading than before. Big improvements in departure angle, breakover angle and ground clearance.
- More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 7-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
- Good quality interior with better practicality than before. The Thar is now more family friendly.
- Improved noise vibration and harshness management. Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.
- More configurations: Fixed soft top, fixed hardtop or convertible soft top, available as a 6- or 4- seater

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
Mahindra Thar
- Stiff ride quality. Deals with bad roads well but sharp bumps can unsettle the cabin quite easily
- Old school ladder frame SUV and behaves like one. Loads of body roll even on mild curves
- Some cabin flaws: Rear windows aren’t openable, pedal box leaves no proper space to rest your left foot even in the automatic and thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
- It’s a heavily improved/polished version of a hardcore off-roader but not an alternative to more practical, comfortable, feature rich compact/sub compact SUVs
