Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.26L more for the Hector Savvy Pro: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: touchscreen (14" against 9") and 6-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Hector Savvy Pro: JBL system with Dolby Atmos, front parking sensors, speakers (8 against 6) and electronic parking brake + auto hold, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Hector Savvy Pro, you give up wired CarPlay / Android Auto and regenerative braking, which the Urban Cruiser Hyryder G(O) Hybrid keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder G(O) Hybrid if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.26L 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
