  • The one-touch topple-down second-row seats give easy access to the third-row
  • Availability of automatic transmission in all three powertrain options
  • It gives a proper SUV stance with its big dody and sharp body lines
  • The more blingy design gives it a new look after the facelift

  • It offers many safety features. These include level-2 ADAS with a 360-camera, 6 airbags, all-4 disc brakes, front parking sensors, ESP, hill-hold assist, and a traction control system.
  • It is available in multiple seating options. The standard is a 5-seater. The Hector Plus is available in a 6- and 7-seater option.
  • Powerful turbo petrol and diesel engines are available. The diesel motor is torquey and fuel-efficient.
  • The Hector's interior has a premium appeal. It has leatherette seats, door trims, ambient lighting, and comfortable seating.
  • The interior is very spacious and the cabin can easily accommodate 5-adults
  • A smooth CVT gearbox is on offer
  • The 5-seater variant offers humongous boot space of 587 litres
Cons
  • The pricing of the top-spec variant is too high
  • Six-seater configuration is available in the top-spec variants only
  • The third row feels a little crammed mostly suitable for kids
  • The positioning of the air purifier eats up the kneeroom of the second-row passenger behind the driver
  • The reliability of the DCT gearbox is a question
  • It misses on some features such as a 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, and some others
  • The diesel engine does not offer a proper manual gearbox, it comes with an iMT unit
  • The chrome on the front grille is a bit over, and might not appeal to everyone
  • The touchscreen infotainment is smooth and crisp but not driver-friendly
  • The touchscreen integrates the AC controls. It takes a bit of effort to control aircon settings while driving.
  • The diesel engine comes with a manual transmission only. There is no option for a diesel automatic variant.
  • ADAS is available in petrol variants only
  • The turbo petrol motor is not much fuel efficient which can be a bummer in city traffic
  • The substantial size of the body accentuates the body roll within the cabin
  • In the Plus variants, the third row is confined and is best suited for children
