As Carroll Shelby once said, “I’ve always been asked, ‘What is my favourite car?’ And I’ve always said, the next one.” It is a nod to the natural human tendency of keeping oneself upgraded with the latest technology. When it comes to automobiles, upgrading is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ for car enthusiasts. 

If you’re looking for signs that you need a new car, don’t look too far; check the issues you face with your existing one. Or better yet, have a look at the technological upgrades and futuristic features modern automobiles have to offer, and soon your car will seem too retro for your liking. 

Be it because of the issues or the timing once you decide to switch to a new car, the choices are endless. Let’s look at how choosing a modern SUV like the MG Hector 2021 could be the right move for you.

Stop worrying about constant repairs: Maintaining a car that constantly demands repair can be a hassle for any car owner. Apart from the regular and time-consuming visits to the garage, your car may throw up undesired surprises in the most uncomfortable situations. This tends to happen as a car gets older, and especially if it is not serviced at regular intervals. A modern SUV, on the other hand, would be more reliable and could run without any issues for years. And the Hector makes it all easier with the i-SMART app, as it lets you track every detail of your car at all times.

From vehicle settings to the status of your car’s health, you can catch and fix any problem almost immediately, and ensure your car always remains in top condition.       

Reduce your running costs: The MG Hector comes with several free routine services and is, therefore, far more economical than other vehicles in the same category. Services done after 1000km, 5000km, 15,000 km, 30,000 km, and 45,000 km, are free of labour costs. After considering the fourth (60,000 km) and the fifth (75,000 km) services (both paid), the estimated five-year maintenance cost is around Rs. 30,000. 

MG Hector was found to be the most economical among executive SUVs, with only Rs 0.4 per kilometre for petrol and 0.55 per km for diesel as maintenance cost, in an SUV Maintenance Cost Comparison by AutoCar.

Get better on-road safety: Car safety is a dynamic area in auto technology and is being innovated every day. If a sense of security while cruising is vital for you or simply knowing that you have the best-in-class safety features for every drive, then it’s probably time to switch to a modern SUV. The Hector 2021 offers you all that and more. 

Apart from the staples like multiple airbags, ABS, EBD, and rear parking sensor, this internet SUV also features advanced versions of the Traction Control System, 3-point seatbelts, Speed Warning Alert, Hill Hold Control, Brake Assist, ISOFIX Anchors for child seats, and thick door panels. 

Benefit from technological upgrades: Advanced versions and variations of automobile technology are introduced every day to improve your everyday driving experience. And it is likely that your old car may not boast of many modern features that a futuristic SUV like MG Hector offers.

For instance, each time there is a technology update, Hector’s system can be updated OTA (Over-The-Air) wherever you are, without needing to drive to a showroom. It also gives you detailed reports of the driver’s analytics, making ownership less stressful.  

Apart from this, Hector’s system can automatically connect to emergency services in the event of an accident. The fatigue reminder system uses sensors to measure the level of tiredness of the driver and sends out a fatigue warning if required. Hector also comes with front parking sensors, which are helpful while parking in tricky spaces.

It offers a 10.4-inch Touchscreen Infotainment system that is updated with features such as navigation, weather updates. It also has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. 

Do something different!: Sure, you may be comfortable driving a hatchback or a sedan as always. But being predictable can sometimes be boring. It’s why we like to switch things up once in a while, so we can enjoy the thrill of something different. And if you are looking for a car that gives you something special, something extra, the Hector 2021 is definitely worth more than a thought. 

The first internet car in India features 5G-ready machine-to-machine SIM, sophisticated geo-fence and vehicle theft tracking, Accuweather check, tailgate open/close function via mobile app, and of course, WiFi connectivity. Its i-SMART specifications and outstanding features, such as a 360-degree parking camera, heated wing mirrors, multi-info display, ambient lighting, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and much more make it a complete package.

Beyond these fabulous features, it is the drive for innovation that enables MG Hector to rule the automobile market even after two years of its launch. Its ultra-modern design philosophy and future-ready features and technology easily make this smart SUV your next companion for every drive.
