Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City

Spacious cabin. Rear seat kneeroom rivals cars from a segment above.
Best in segment interior quality
Comfortable ride quality
Updated exterior makes it more tempting
ADAS standard in multiple variants

MG Hector

Feels and looks premium inside and out
Generous cabin space, comfortable for even taller passengers
Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
Safety kit boosted by the inclusion of ADAS
A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality

Honda City

Lacks some ‘wow’ features like ventilated seats, powered driver seat, branded stereo

Tight rear seat headroom

MG Hector

Its styling could seem too blingy to some buyers
Has lost out on the mild-hybrid tech; still no diesel-auto combo
Its electronics could have been more responsive
Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue
