I want to buy a 7-seater car, and I like the MG Hector Plus. I like its build quality, interior and price. Should I go for it or look at the Tata Safari or 7XO?
While there's a lot to like about the MG Hector Plus, like its upmarket interior and plush ride comfort, it isn't a spacious or comfortable seven-seater, due to a cramped third row.
The Tata Safari is certainly a better 7-seater SUV. Passengers will be comfortable in all three rows, and this Tata car feels tough and well-built. It is also well-equipped and has a stronger pair of engines - turbo-petrol and diesel.

Hi Autocar! I submitted my question previously, but havenโt seen it published even after a week, so Iโm asking again. I am planning to upgrade my 2014 Honda City CVT, mainly due to lower petrol mileage caused by ethanol blending and because I can currently get good resale value. I want to move to a mid-size SUV petrol automatic. My usage is mostly city driving, with about 10% highway use. I also make frequent airport trips due to extended family visits, which is why I am considering a mid-size SUV or MPV. My budget is around โน18 lakh, and I do not want to stretch it. I am focused on petrol efficiency and want either a hybrid or an electric vehicle. Are the Toyota Hybrid and MG Windsor the best options? Would it be worth waiting until the end of this year or even 2027 for more hybrid or EV options, especially MPVs? I know the Renault Duster Hybrid is being hyped with a large hybrid battery, so I'm wondering if I should make a purchase now with a better resale value for my old car, or take a hit on the resale value of my old car and wait till 2027 for new hybrids.
Since you're looking at hybrid or EV options only, with a budget of Rs 18 lakh, you could consider the MG Windsor EV. It has a spacious cabin and a large boot, which you are likely to appreciate, particularly during your frequent airport trips. If you opt for the standard range version, you can expect around 230-260km of real-world range, while the 'Pro' version could get you an additional range of over 100km. While it is largely a very practical car, its biggest downside is that even for basic functions, such as mirror adjustment, lights, sunshade, etc., you have to rely on its touchscreen. However, with time, you will get used to this.
If you're not in a hurry, you could wait for the Renault Duster hybrid that'll be launched in the second half of this year. Besides being a hybrid, it is likely to have a noticeably larger boot than the existing hybrid cars on sale, namely the Hyryder, Grand Vitara and Victoris. However, there are high chances that you might have to stretch your budget for its hybrid variant.

I currently have a 2013 Grand i10 petrol top variant, and I am planning to upgrade to the MG Hector Plus Petrol CVT Savvy Pro variant. I find it very comfortable, premium-feeling, and value for money. My yearly driving is around 9,000 km, with 40% in the city and 60% on the highway. I do have a doubt because sales in India are quite low for this car. Is it a good buy for me?
The MG Hector Plus is a great value for money, delivering a lot of bang for your buck, especially when it comes to space and comfort, both of which are excellent. It's also very well-equipped, although its large touchscreen is laggy and has been known to have glitches.
Sales have slowed compared to when the SUV was launched in 2019, as newer or updated competition has entered the segment. Although the Hector has received its own share of updates, including the smoother CVT replacing the old DCT gearbox, they have not been as comprehensive as others.
Another drawback is that there is no diesel automatic option, which buyers in this segment want, and which rivals such as the Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7XO do offer. Additionally, the petrol CVT powertrain has very poor fuel efficiency, which is something you should keep in mind, given your high usage.

I am planning to buy the MG Hector Plus or the Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid. My requirement is comfort and speed when driving on the highway. Please suggest.
You haven't mentioned which variant of the MG Hector Plus you're considering - the turbo-petrol-automatic is refined and smooth, although it isn't efficient, and won't feel effortless on the highway; the diesel, on the other hand, feels much stronger and more suited for highway drives, but it is only available with a manual gearbox. The Hector Plus also impresses when it comes to low-speed ride comfort, but its suspension doesn't feel as settled as the HyCross's at highway speed.
Additionally, the HyCross is the more spacious car, and is easily the better pick if you generally travel with six or seven passengers and luggage. Its hybrid powertrain feels surprisingly peppy, it is quite refined, and it is also likely to return around 16kpl on the highway, which is quite good. Between the two, the Toyota Innova HyCross is a bit pricier, but it comes across as the more sensible pick.

What are my options if I wish to replace my 1.5-year-old Hyundai Exter with an EV? The car will be used sparingly and only in the city.
We're not sure if you are looking to upgrade or have a replacement EV similar in size. If it's the latter, the Tata Punch EV would be a good option for you. The electric Punch will soon be updated, and you can check this out.
If you are looking for something bigger, the MG Windsor would be a good pick, offering you more space inside than your Hyundai Exter.

I have a budget of โน18 lakh and an average daily commute of around 75 km. I am planning to buy an electric car - what are the best EV options available in this price range?
The best sub Rs 20 lakh EV for city use and short distances is the MG Windsor. It has compact dimensions which give it good manouverability in the city but without compromising on cabin space, which is very generous. It is easy-to-drive, well-equipped and has enough range for your daily runs of 75km and more.
A brittle ride and a fair bit of road noise that creeps into the cabin are the only real drawbacks. You can get the Exclusive Pro and Essence Pro, depending on how much you can stretch your budget.

Hello Autocar team. We are a family of five and mostly chauffeur-driven. Our daily running is almost 70 km. We want to buy an EV to save on fuel cost, primarily for city driving and occasional round trips of about 180-200 km to our native place. We have shortlisted the Punch EV Empowered S Long Range, the XUV3XO EV AX5, and the Windsor. Which one should we choose? We prefer comfort, safety, and service reliability. This will be our second car.
While the Tata Punch EV is a good all-rounder, it is perhaps a size too small for a family of 5 or to be chauffeur driven in. The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV and Windsor have far more spacious cabins, but then the Mahindra is low on boot space when it comes to your 180-200km round trip. However, this would still be our pick as it has a spacious cabin for 5, tough chassis and comfortable ride quality.
The Windsor may be more spacious on the whole, but its suspension and ride are quite stiff, and its large touchscreen, which controls the entire car, is full of bugs and glitches. Moreover, in standard guise, it has a very low range, and you would have to move up to the Pro version, which will increase your budget. Also consider the Tata Nexon EV, which, though expensive, feels like a more complete car than any of these.

I am confused between the Kia Carnival and the MG M9. Our daily run would be 100 kms. What would you recommend?
The Kia Carnival has a roomier cabin and is the more practical choice, thanks to its greater luggage flexibility and the freedom to take out-of-town trips without worrying about charging infrastructure. The M9, on the other hand, feels more luxurious and, being an electric car, is far more refined than the diesel-powered Carnival.
With your kind of usage of around 100 km a day, the savings in running costs with the M9 will be significant. If you can install an AC charger at home and most of your driving is within the city, the MG M9 makes more sense.

I am planning to buy the MG Hector Savvy Pro (top model) for around โน21.5 lakh. It has almost all the required features and is very spacious compared to other cars in this price range. However, I am a little sceptical because I have seen many of your replies recommending other cars in this range-you mostly recommend Sierra and Seltos, but never Hector. Can you please let me know the reason? I will make my decision accordingly.
We recommend cars depending on people's specific needs. MG Hector is a spacious car and comes with a lot of features, and if someone is looking for those in a large SUV, we do recommend Hector.
Hector has not received a full, ground-up generational change since its launch in 2019. Mg has updated it many times with facelifts, but to compete in the fast-changing segment, Hector would do better to get a full generation change.
Hector's petrol and diesel engines are found to be thirsty units in the real world compared to their competitors. So if someone's priority is mileage, Hector falls low in their recommendation set.

I am looking for a petrol automatic SUV, as mostly my running is in the city with 3-4 short trips a year. I already drive a Hyundai Verna, so I want to avoid Hyundai and Kia. My main requirements are comfort, reliability and ride quality. Currently, I have been planning to buy the MG Hector Savy Pro 1.5 Turbo. Is it a good buy, and what else should I consider?
MG has recently updated the Hector with minor changes, but the pricing now looks quite attractive. Hector gives you a lot of space and features at an attractive price point. The ride quality is great too, and while MG has improved its service network over the years, it still does not score very high on reliability. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol isnโt the most fuel-efficient in stop-go traffic. If space, comfort and features are your top priorities, the Hector is a strong value-for-money choice.
If youโre open to alternatives, the Tata Sierra is worth keeping an eye on. It is an all-new product that promises a comfortable ride and a roomy cabin. However, being a new model, it may be wise to wait for real-world ownership feedback before deciding.
The other option is the recently launched Mahindra XUV 7XO. It offers strong engines, a new impressive suspension setup and a long feature list, but to get all the creature comforts it offers, you may need to stretch your budget for higher variants.
