MG Hector Hawk India Launch Set for August 26
A car company called MG is getting ready to show people a brand-new SUV.
The SUV is called the Hector Hawk.
It will be launched in India on August 26.
This car is special because it is built on a new platform called ADAPT.
The ADAPT platform can hold many different kinds of engines.
That includes pure electric, plug-in hybrid, strong hybrid, and range-extender versions.
A hybrid car uses both a battery and fuel to move.
At first, the Hector Hawk will come as an electric car and as a plug-in hybrid.
The car is based on another vehicle called the Wuling Starlight 560 that is sold in other countries.
This shows that MG wants to make cars that can use several kinds of power.
JSW MG will launch the Hector Hawk SUV in India on August 26.
It is the first model built on MG's new ADAPT platform.
The ADAPT platform supports EV, plug-in hybrid, strong-hybrid, and range-extender powertrains.
The Hector Hawk is based on the Wuling Starlight 560 sold overseas.
The SUV will launch with EV and PHEV versions to start.
