Class in your budget. MG Hector MT turbo 1.5l review

The vehicle is sturdy and the in city refinement is just unbelievable. Space and seats are very comfortable. The back seats become total flat and makes it boot space double for easy movement of luggage also. I am getting mileage of 10.9 to 12 within city in bumper to bumper traffic. Don't expect xuv700 kind of driving experience in high way but with 250nm torque it does pack quit a punch. Loving it.

mahindra is best

Very nice comfortable, good looking, smooth driving, good mileage. It attracts people giving the best responses. It is very good car. Very powerful and excellent.
