Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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
Kia Seltos
- Upmarket cabin experience with soft-touch elements and dual 10.25-inch displays.
- Some features from segments above, including panoramic sunroof, ADAS and dual-zone climate control.
- Multiple engine options including a diesel with both manual and automatic options.
- Segment-leading 1-5-litre turbo-petrol engine with 160PS
- Aggressive looks with attractive lighting elements.

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
Kia Seltos
- Crash test is still pending, but is expected to be less than the 5 stars of Kushaq and Taigun.
- Shallow boot limits the practicality of the space.
