MG Hector vs Tata Sierra: which should you buy?
The Tata Sierra starts at ₹11.49L against the MG Hector's ₹11.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.50L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.50L, where the Hector tops out. Past that only the Sierra has anything left to sell you, up to ₹21.29L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Hector comes in petrol, the Sierra 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 Sierra Accomplished at ₹18.99L, the Sierra leaving ₹0.51L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.51L more for the Hector Savvy Pro: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: touchscreen (14" against 12.3") and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Hector Savvy Pro: drive modes and air purifier, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Hector Savvy Pro, you give up blind spot monitor, head-up display and hill descent control, which the Sierra Accomplished keeps
- Choose the Tata Sierra Accomplished if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.51L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the MG Hector Savvy Pro if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
