But, Tata AIG, United India are saying that they have cashless tie ups with MG. So, really confused with this.

I will appreciate any help on this insurance situation.

Speak to your SA. I just arranged for best quote possible from 3rd party broker. Used that to negotiate and get it matched. Doesn't matter if they match it and insurer is different, as cashless and other aspects with dealership's headache in case of claim. Hence, better to get it from dealer as well at the right price.

Apart from the steep 6.2 lakh price hike on Gloster base variant, MG also hiked prices of Hector and Hector-Plus up to 61,000.

Got this mailer from MG on their 100 years celebration.

Kind of curious on the 100 Year MG Car Badge, however couldn’t find any other information online. If anyone knows do please share.

I have got the delivery of my vehicle (Hector plus savvy Pro) last week. There are plenty of features provided in this vehicle and also it's the first time that I am driving automatic so I have been literally overwhelmed by the buttons on the steering wheel or all these features.

1) I will like to know that what are top essential/safety/good to have features that you like the most and using in daily drive?

2) I have not much used its ADAS features yet as I tried traffic jam assist once and the braking was abrupt and way to early that increase the chances of rear collision. I will be really interested in knowing what ADAS features are you guys using on frequent basis?

3) I have not tried sports mode yet. Drive mode is pretty fine for daily city drive for me and even eco mode was okayish but I found it bit jerky. Which drive mode is preferred by you in city?

Works fine for me. Interestingly it appears to be smoother than before.

I wanted to know feedback about the MG Protect plan for Service/Warranty.

Thanks.

Hi,
I am too evaluating the same model in Hector. Did you find any red flags so far?

Hi

I did not opt for the service package. Did not make much sense for me. Though I went ahead with the extended warranty.

Let me know if you have any other queries.

I booked a Hector Plus Savy PRO at The MG Jogeshwari dealership on Sunday.

The delivery will be by the end of the month once the finances are sorted.

I was wondering if a PDI would be necessary. The stock yard is on the outskirts of the City and will need a whole day. The sales rep also told me that the PDI would be possible only after full payment. Is this true?

Installed it yesterday. Facing some major issues:
1. Apple Car Play when connected gives a blank black screen
2. Android Auto not connect
3. 'Hello MG' command detect has become inconsistent
4. 'Direct Commands' are not working. Switched on and off the options multiple times. Not working.
5. Overall, the touch response has become much slower. The earlier update had resolved this issue completely

Anyone else facing the above issues?
