Same money, which car?
Take ₹20.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the BE 6 Pack One at ₹18.90L or the Hector Plus Savvy Pro at ₹20.00L, the BE 6 leaving ₹1.10L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.10L more for the Hector Plus Savvy Pro: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and tyre pressure monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (14" against 12.3") and 6-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the MG Hector Plus seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The BE 6 is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- The BE 6 Pack One is the strongest of the two at 231 PS
- Also on the Hector Plus Savvy Pro: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos, panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Mahindra BE 6 Pack One if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.10L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the MG Hector Plus Savvy Pro if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
