  • 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 comes loaded with features. For example, it has a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It also has auto-turn indicators and projector LED headlamps. Plus, a panoramic sunroof, wireless connectivity, an electric tailgate, and an 8-speaker Infinity S
  • 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.

  • The interior is very spacious and the cabin can easily accommodate 5-adults
  • A smooth CVT gearbox is on offer

Cons
  • The base variants misses on features such as LED DRL, telescopic steering, keyless entry and some more

  • The mid-variants lacks some features such as LED headlamp, electrically adjustable ORVMs and more
  • No automatic transmission in first three variants i.e. HTE, HTK, & HTK+
  • The top-spec GTX+ variant goes over Rs 20 lakh on-road price tag

  • The rivals offer more value for money
  • 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
