All it needed was a diesel AT and it would've set the sales charts on fire. The petrol AT is a fuel guzzler and a 7 seat family SUV needs diesel.

It's been five and a half years since the Hector is launched, but still they haven't launched the Diesel Automatic, whereas its chief rival Harrier is having AT since 2020!

Absolutely true. I had taken the TD of Hector Petrol AT and did not like the driving dynamics. Chose Harrier AT over Hector.
The situation might have been different if they has Diesel AT. Cant comprehend why they cannot launch an AT in Diesel considering it is the same Fiat sourced engine shared by Tata twins.

My cousin has a petrol Hector Plus. Apart from the poor fuel economy,he is very satisfied with his car.A diesel AT would have made it a near perfect long distance tourer.

I think Hector gets classified as a fuel guzzler a bit unfairly. All other petrol ATs of this class have near about same efficiency. But the car is a gem when it comes to comfort and yes it does need a diesel AT, may be a strong petrol hybrid.
