MG HECTOR
Left: 17-inch wheels do not fill up the
arches and makes the Hector look
undertyred
there is a first-in-class 360-degree camera.
The stereo with Infinity speakers is very good
with solid bass and depth. There is Android
Auto and Apple Car Play, the latter being the
only give away to the origin of the Hector with
the icon to take you back to the home screen
having SAIC printed under the MG logo. And
the sunroof is as massive as the screen itself,
stretching almost the entire length of the car.
On the way back after driving the Hector
I met a friend who works for Volvo and I told
him the vertically-oriented screen reminds
me of Volvos. He pointed out their screens are
nine inches. The Hector, then, has the biggest
(single) screen you will find in any car, at any
price, at least until Tesla comes to India! For
sure that will be a big selling point, though I am
curious to see what the base-spec Hector has
in place of this screen.
Tacho swings anti-clockwise
I didn’t think I have OCD but the speedo and
tachometer needles swinging in opposite
ways drove me a little crazy. The speedo
swings clockwise while the tacho swings anti-
clockwise, the first time I’ve seen that in any
car. Okay, BMW’s new virtual cockpit also has
