Fantastic video!!! Thanks for the detailed explanation! Was also a bit concerned about the 'rubber band effect', however your video has definitely given me clarity! Was confused b/w Tata Safari and Mg Hector CVT...guess will go for Hector Cvt now ! Keep it up !!!!
Recently I bought MG Hector Shine CVT variant - Value for money you will get everything including sunroof amazing spacious & comfort vehicle I did test drive Creata, Seltos, Taigun, Virtus, Slavia when I sit in MG hector I got feeling like I am sitting two segment above Mileage in City 9 and Highway 12 - Drive mode with AC
i have been using this car for 3 months and i am extremely with the performance, features & Comfort. while i have no complaints on FE, there is no mechanism to measure the FE from instrumental cluster which is available in Sharp diesel. As Indian customers are mileage sensitive, and this is not MG's USP, MG had removed the interface intentionally. Also this feature available in all international models of Hector but removed in Petrol versions only. secondly I have noticed gaps in dashboard where black and beige are joined and i have taken this up strongly with MG adn MG said these gaps are allowed as design element which is very weird, idiotic and surprising. i never expected this from MG. Also I have taken up with MG on FE interface and again i got a surprise answer to measure FE by tank to tank measurement or refer to Ismart. at the same time MG team acknowledged that Ismart is not yet fully reliable. i have got all the mail communication from MG with me. barring these two issues i am extremely happy with the vehicle.
@@RealAutoReviews we should take up the issue with MG together on providing FE calculation on instrument panel in Petrol version as provided in diesel version and also on gaps in dashboard. We as user of the car should be able to know the FE from instrument panel and the gaps that i am referring to are prominently appearing in almost all in all Hectors. MG is keeping silent.
A fresh take on reviewing car.!!! And nice one. I own mg hector shine petrol MT (aug 21) Odo - 7000kms My only issue is with AC (not efficient for this big cabin) and ofcourse mileage. If you're interested in long term review. I'm all in.
@@RealAutoReviews thanks for your reply. No I am mostly in the city. 👍🏽 Lovely review though. What would you recommend Alcazar vs Hector(5 seater). So confused. We want more boot space.
@@sskohli79 The Alcazar is THE superior vehicle. Period. The Hector is good, but the Alcazar is definitely better. Keep the last two seats folded, or remove them permanently if you would never need them and it would be the perfect vehicle for you 😃
Hey thank you so much! Honestly, mileage isn't its strongest suit. Since this car was a media unit that came for a short period I can't tell you definite figures, but I won't expect anything more than 12-13 on highways and 9-10 in the city. Hope this helps 😃
Thank you so much! See, you can extract 10 km/l even in the city and a bit more on the highways, but that will take the fun away from driving. But, yes, it can be done. 😃
Very honest review Sir I m confused in harrier dark edition ( disel the only option ) or hector petrol CVT ...I reason of confusion is i m in Delhi ncr where disel life is just 10 years ...and above all I want to go with petrol also ...do u think I should go with hector ...or should I wait for harrier petrol ? ...any idea if tata is planing to bring it in next 3 or 4 months
Thank you so much! I live in Delhi (well, Greater Noida now but the rule applies to the whole NCR) so I can totally understand! Buy the Hector petrol. 😃
I have not tested the manual gearbox Hector, but if it's an option for you (as in some say that "manual is out") then I would recommend it over an automatic of any kind anyday because in the longer run it will be cheaper to maintain/repair. Hope this helps 😃
One of the shortlisted car..can you help me with the following Qs - Build quality, performance (heard from reviews that gaadi ruk jaati hai, spends lot of time at service center, etc), power on taking drives to mountain/steep location and last screen lag - heard its not responsive.
No complaints in build quality and performance. More than enough performance for hills as well. I faced absolutely ZERO issues with screen as well during this drive! Hope this helps 😃
Amazing Review! Looking to buy a proper Suv With mileage upto 15kmpl on highway, You made me to reconsider my decision. Thanks for that. BTW any suggestion for a SUV That gives 15kmpl highway mileage, preferably petrol as Governments policy on diesel in future is unclear. Thanks in advance 😉
Hey thank you so much! That's the best compliment a reviewer can get ❤️🙏 Honestly, a full fledged petrol SUV will never give you 15 km/l. Heck, I just drove the Volvo S60 over 2000 km in the last four days, out of which over 1500 were on empty expressways. It still failed to breach the 15 km/l mark. So you can think how much a big SUV will give. I would suggest that you buy the one that appeals the most to your heart. Don't think about saving money right now; we all would be driving washing machines on wheels (aka EVs) sooner than you would imagine, so let's enjoy the IC engine as much as we can, as long as we can 😃
I.say this to everyone: Avoid all dual clutch gearboxes (DCTs/DSGs) in India as they are just not suited for our driving conditions. Torque Converters are the best for our conditions, followed by CVTs. Also, wait for the Carens prices to be out and then we'll have this chat again. 😃
Any way one thing is for sure. MG HECTOR CVT AT PETROL is a heavy / fully loaded/ huge vehicle which can’t be compared with Creta, Harrier, seltos, Taigun which often the TH-camRS Are doing. Customer is getting next level vehicle with hardly a difference of approx. 3 lacs compared with the above mentioned vehicles for eg. It’s an SUV with a blend of EUROPEAN DNA 🧬 with Chineese Captain ship which is very much needed to sustain today’s competition. I feel It’s is a nice combination to sustain the market in terms of pricing and also further development of electronics/ software, where the Chinese are good in doing with less cost with out throwing much burden on end users unlike European manufacturers. This is the reason where the Once upon a time Automobile Hero’s like Ford , VW , Honda etc are struggling a lot to launch and sustain the price market like in India so this is the reason I say the Chinese collaboration is needed to give tough fight for Korean car makers. I have explained so much about Chinese collaboration here only as my answer to some YOU TUBERS who are mentioning this car as a CHINESE CAR to promote Negative Propaganda but they don’t know how this CHINESE CAR WILL do wonders in the coming price market Wonderful CVT , 18” tyres , 2 nd row ample legroom, 10.4 Infotainment with Internet inside are a very to mention. Huge boot, can be converted into bedroom on long night drives . It’s like getting a LIMOUSINE ! , for the price. Inspite of wonderful mileage.
Well, many do make a hue and cry about it, but sensible people' realise that when it's time to sell/buy a used vehicle both parties would know that it's a December xxxx (year) vehicle and not one whole year older. So, ya, go for it! 😃
Hi. Thank you for the informative video. I have heard there are lot of complaints about spares and service of MG. Is it true? Also heard of some major issues(Vehicle not responsive) in the areas without internet connectivity. Is that true? Your responsive could be really helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much! See, the majority of negativity about MG is spread by those with that reviews "anti-chinese" sentiment or by those who wanted to blackmail MG (such as that Tech Travel Eat guy who wanted MG to exchange his Hector with Gloster!). So don't worry at all. In fact, try to get in touch with a few MG owners around you and ask them about their experience. Also, at least for now, you need battery and fuel to start and run the engine. Internet has no say in it. Hope this helps.
1) Dono. In fact, Hector ke soft suspension ki wajeh se zyadatar logon ko Hector zyada comfortable lagegi. 2) Bilkul bhi underpowered nahi hai bhai, mast bhaati hai! Maine acceleration and braking runs ka video bhi upload Kara hai, dekho 😃

Great and honest Review sir. Just wanted your opinion on buying a new car Should i buy mg hector cvt 2021 or wait for Hyundai creta 2022…my requirement is feature loaded car with looks and decent mileage. 80% of my driving is in city.
Thanks for better clarifications…. I am planning to buy this and my city ride is aprox 70% and once in 3-4 months i travel to highway.. so just want bit more clarity specifically on milage in both conditions (city & highways) for CVT and many of them has sais that on highway it bounces a lot and back seat passengers get that bounce which make uncomfortable for them on back seat.. Little detailed reply will highly appreciated
See, 1) like I have said in my review, the ride quality is sorted for the most part and it will bounce if your speed is higher than it should be on a rough patch. That said, it is not at all bad by any stretch of imagination. So, yes, it will be a comfortable ride. 2) Fuel efficiency is not its forte and you will have to be contend with a single digit figure in city. On the highways, driven with a light foot, the FE should increase to 11-12 but that's about it. Hope this helps!
last fuel bar on instrument cluster gave mileage of approx 60 km after that "blue bars" of fuel indicator was blank. i filled my tank with exact 20 litres and then 3 blue bars were filled. i checked i smart app it shows 45% fuel that is 27 litres. so can i assume that around 6-7 litres was still there in fuel tank or ismart app shows false fuel status. TIA
This was a media unit bro, so I didn't get a chance to use the app. I would recommend doing a tankful to tankful to arrive at the correct fuel efficiency figure. So you would fill her up, drive around until the last bar goes off and then again fill her up. Note the km. Now repeat. Note the km. You will have the correct FE figure 😃
Awesome review, so detailed and clear....need one guidance, I have booked Hector Shine CVT but really confused with the Hector car reviews on the net about Engine n all....please advise...thanks.
Thank you so much! See, the majority of negative reviews are either due to that "anti-chinese" sentiment or by those who wanted to blackmail MG (such as that Tech Travel Eat guy who wanted MG to exchange his Hector by Gloster!). So don't worry at all. Just get it serviced on time and it will soldier on 😃 Hope this helps!
But please note that I haven't reviewed the manual Hector. So I don't know how it behaves as compared to the CVT. I just shared about manual vs auto transmissions in general 😃
Superb Review Sir. I test drove hector CVT, DCT both. Loved CVT acceleration. No rubber band or any sort of lag.
Thank you so much! ❤️
