MG Hector Mileage
₹11.99 Lakh to ₹19.19 Lakhex-showroom
The Hector is not built for frugality, and the figures show that. The 6 speed manual is rated at 13.79 kmpl, while the CVT automatic reads 12.34 kmpl. A turbo petrol this size trades some economy for pulling power. City traffic, a full load and the air conditioning will drop your real numbers below these ARAI ratings. Match each Hector trim to its gearbox first if economy guides your choice.

Mileage is how far the Hector travels on one litre of fuel (or one kg of CNG). A bigger number means you spend less on fuel. Carmakers quote an ARAI lab figure; in real driving you get a bit less, so both are shown below.

MG Hector mileage: common questions
What mileage does the Hector return?
The manual is rated at 13.79 kmpl and the CVT at 12.34 kmpl. These are ARAI figures, so daily driving usually lands a little lower.
Is the Hector manual more efficient than the CVT?
Yes, by a small margin. The manual's 13.79 kmpl beats the CVT's 12.34 kmpl, the usual trade for the convenience of an automatic.
Why is the Hector's mileage on the low side?
It carries a large body and a 1.5 litre turbo tuned for strong pull. That focus on torque costs some fuel economy in return.
