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.

Bad experience

I was excited to buy my first brand-new car. The only upgrade required was the electric windows. After having it for a month I took it for a long drive there was a draft coming into the car, window felt like it was open. Not a very fuel-efficient car. Radio no sound after 2 years, apparently the wires are corroded and this is my fault, keep in mind this is a brand new car. Now the car is overheating and this is my fault as well. Rs 16000 they want me to pay. I am so disgusted I wish I never stepped into Mahindra to purchase my first car. They got the money from the bank and everything is just past the buck
