Verdict
The MG Hector Plus competes with the Hyundai Alcazar, Mahindra XUV700, and Tata Safari. However, it doesn't really stand up to the competition with these cars, as it has the weakest third row in the segment. It is only suitable for kids, not adults, as there is literally no legroom. Also, the MG Hector has faced reliability issues, with several instances reported where the Hector has caught fire on the road or broken down in the middle of nowhere.
