JSW MG Launches Hector Tomahawk Three‑Row SUV in EV and PHEV Forms

Built on MG’s ADAPT multi‑energy platform, the Tomahawk pairs EV/PHEV powertrains with Battery‑as‑a‑Service pricing and bidirectional charging to cut upfront cost for family buyers.

Overview

  • JSW MG Motor India formally launched the Hector Tomahawk on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, offering both a fully electric version and a plug‑in hybrid and opening bookings for limited introductory units.
  • MG lists the Tomahawk EV variants from Rs 19.49 lakh to Rs 23.49 lakh ex‑showroom and a BaaS entry price from Rs 13.99 lakh with a reported battery rental of Rs 4.90 per km, while the PHEV has introductory ex‑showroom pricing around Rs 25.70 lakh and a BaaS rental cited at Rs 3.20 per km.
  • The company states the Tomahawk EV uses a 69.2 kWh LFP battery, a 150 kW (204 hp) front motor, a claimed 517 km MIDC range and CCS2 90 kW DC charging that can take 30–80% in about 35 minutes, though one outlet reported a 55.2 kWh figure that conflicts with MG’s specifications.
  • MG has equipped the SUV with a 15.6‑inch infotainment screen, an 8.8‑inch driver display, Level‑2 ADAS, six airbags and bidirectional charging functions including V2L, V2V and a claimed V2H feature that can supply power to a compatible home setup.
  • Built on the ADAPT architecture, the Tomahawk’s EV and PHEV options aim to expand MG’s family SUV lineup into the three‑row electric segment and could change buyer economics by trading lower upfront cost for recurring battery rental and by offering home‑power backup where compatible infrastructure exists.
