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
Mahindra XUV700
- Lot of variants and powertrain options
- Very capable engine options
- AWD with diesel engine
- Ride quality is very comfortable
- Impressive infotainment experience
- Long safety list, with 7 airbags
- ADAS has been tuned for Indian road conditions

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
Mahindra XUV700
- Not a fun to drive SUV
- Petrol engine gives effortless power, but not exciting
