MG Hector vs Tata Harrier: which should you buy?
The MG Hector starts at ₹11.99L against the Tata Harrier's ₹12.89L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.90L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.50L, where the Hector tops out. Past that only the Harrier has anything left to sell you, up to ₹25.95L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Hector comes in petrol, the Harrier in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.50L to both showrooms and you come out with the Hector Savvy Pro at ₹19.50L or the Harrier Adventure X at ₹18.35L, the Harrier leaving ₹1.15L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.15L more for the Hector Savvy Pro: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call) and JBL system with Dolby Atmos. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (14" against 10.25") and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Hector Savvy Pro: ventilated front seats, 6-way powered driver seat, front parking sensors and speakers (8 against 4), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Hector Savvy Pro, you give up dual-zone climate control, headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Harrier Adventure X keeps
- Choose the Tata Harrier Adventure X if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.15L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the MG Hector Savvy Pro if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
