MG Hector Tomahawk EV Launched With 517 Km Range, 69.2 kWh Battery and Level 2 ADAS

MG Motor India has launched the Hector Tomahawk EV, its new electric SUV offered in both five seat and seven seat configurations. The model combines a 69.2 kWh battery with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, delivering 150 kW of maximum power and 310 Nm of peak torque.

The Hector Tomahawk EV claims a range of 517 km on a single charge under the MIDC test cycle and is available in three variants: Excite, Exclusive and Essence. The seven seat version is offered across all three variants, while the five seat configuration is available in the Essence trim.

MG Hector Tomahawk EV price and variants

The Hector Tomahawk EV is priced from ₹19.49 lakh and goes up to ₹23.49 lakh, ex-showroom.

MG is also offering the Hector Tomahawk EV under a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership programme. Under this arrangement, the vehicle and battery are financed separately through two loans. The seven-seat Excite is priced at ₹13.99 lakh, the seven-seat Exclusive at ₹15.99 lakh and the seven-seat Essence at ₹17.49 lakh, while the five-seat Essence is priced at ₹16.99 lakh.

The BaaS structure carries a battery finance component equivalent to ₹4.90 per km, based on the assumed monthly running used for the calculation. This should not be treated as a per-kilometre running charge, as the battery component is repaid through a separate loan and the customer remains liable for the applicable EMI irrespective of actual monthly usage.

The exact loan amount, down payment, interest rate, tenure, taxes and other applicable charges will depend on the financing arrangement and lender terms.

69.2 kWh battery delivers 517 km claimed range

Powering the Hector Tomahawk EV is a 69.2 kWh high voltage battery pack paired with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor.

The electric motor produces 150 kW of maximum power and 310 Nm of maximum torque. The SUV uses an automatic transmission and gets a CCS2 charging connector. Its claimed range stands at 517 km on a single charge under the MIDC test cycle.
