MG Launches Hector Tomahawk Seven‑Seat EV for India

The model is MG’s first India product on the ADAPT electric platform and aims to attract buyers seeking long‑range, feature‑rich seven‑seat SUVs.

Overview

  • MG unveiled the Hector Tomahawk on Wednesday, August 26, as a multi‑variant SUV offered in both seven‑seat and five‑seat layouts with deliveries slated to begin in September.
  • The company offers a roughly 69–69.2 kWh battery pack with a manufacturer‑claimed CLTC range reported between about 517 km and 530 km and a single electric motor rated near 150 kW (about 204 PS) and 310 Nm of torque.
  • MG is selling the car with both battery‑included and battery‑as‑a‑service (BaaS) options, with reported ex‑showroom prices starting at ₹13.99 lakh for the BaaS model and full‑battery EV variants priced from about ₹19.49 lakh to ₹23.49 lakh across trim levels.
  • The Tomahawk arrives with a long feature list that includes a large infotainment screen, connected‑car tech, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated memory seats, a 10‑speaker sound system, vehicle‑to‑home capability and a Level‑2 ADAS package with a 360‑degree camera.
  • Built on MG’s ADAPT platform and based on the Wuling Starlight 560 architecture, the launch tightens competition in India’s emerging three‑row EV market and raises two near‑term questions for buyers: real‑world range and the vehicle’s public charging speeds, which MG has not fully detailed.
