Overview
- JSW MG, which set the launch for Friday, August 28, 2026, confirmed it will initially offer the new SUV in battery‑electric and plug‑in hybrid forms.
- The electric version is reported to use a 69.2 kWh battery with a 201 hp motor that claims 310 Nm and a CLTC range of about 530 km, a testing cycle that typically yields higher figures than real‑world results.
- The plug‑in hybrid is said to combine a 1.5‑litre petrol engine with a 20.5 kWh battery for roughly 195 hp and about 125 km of electric‑only range, with a combined range above 1,000 km when tank and battery are full.
- Published reports list a feature set that includes an 8.8‑inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.8‑inch touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, powered and ventilated front seats, a Level‑2 ADAS suite, and six airbags.
- Based on the Wuling Starlight 560 with an approximate 4.7 m length and 2,810 mm wheelbase, the Hector Hawk is expected to sit above the current Hector with early price estimates near Rs 18 lakh and final specs and pricing to be confirmed at the launch.
