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.

Incredible comfort and value for money

The Sonata Embera is simply a fantastic luxury sedan. It has tasteful interiors without being 'jazzy' and the interior comfort and leg room is umbelievable. It has great performance both in terms of acceleration and high speed stability. I have driven it at 180 Kmph and its smooth as silk. The fuel consumption is obviously on the high side - but with a 2.4 litre engine that is to be expected. Great engineering and styling - that's the EmberaFantastic comfort and leg space; Excellent performance at high speeds. Have driven upto 180"functional" interiors - not jazzy or space age
