On a hot September afternoon, 50 MG Hector Tomahawk SUVs rolled out of the Surat assembly line and into the hands of buyers, a single‑day delivery that the company called a milestone.
Under the hood sits a 69.2‑kWh MAGIC battery and a 150‑kW permanent‑magnet motor that throws 310 Nm of torque. The ARAI‑certified 517‑km range feels like a full‑day road trip without a stop, and a 90‑kW DC charger can top it up to 80% in roughly 35 minutes.
The plug‑in version swears by a 1.5‑liter petrol engine teamed with a 20.5‑kWh pack, giving 115 km of pure electric drive and a 148‑kW motor that takes it from zero to 100 in about nine seconds. With a full charge and tank, the combined range tops 1,100 km, a benchmark for this class.
The EV starts at ₹19.49 lakh ex‑showroom, while the BaaS model dips to ₹13.99 lakh plus ₹4.90 per km for battery rental. The 7‑seater Excite 7S, Exclusive 7S and 5‑seater Essence 5S sit between ₹19.5 lakh and ₹23 lakh. The PHEV begins at ₹25.70 lakh for the Exclusive 7S.
MG’s 150,000‑plus EV sales and the addition of V2H capability make the Tomahawk a serious contender against Tata StarZ, Hyundai Ioniq 6, and the upcoming Mahindra eSupro SUV. The 28‑September launch opened the door for cities across India; next month, the model will hit Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, with a 3‑year, unlimited‑km warranty and a lifetime battery guarantee.
