MG Hector Tomahawk EV Balances Space, Comfort and Price
The MG Hector Tomahawk EV is a large electric SUV that can carry up to seven people.
The review tested it on roads in Kerala.
It has room for passengers, and the middle seats can slide to make space.
The car felt quick, but its power came on smoothly rather than dramatically.
Its ride was comfortable on most rough patches, and its high ground clearance may help on Indian roads.
Many features are controlled through a large touchscreen, which the reviewer found inconvenient at times.
Buyers can choose a regular price or a battery-as-a-service plan with a per-kilometre charge.
Overall, the reviewer thought it offered a lot of space and features for its price.
The seven-seat MG Hector Tomahawk EV is built on MG’s ADAPT platform for new energy vehicles.
The SUV is offered in five- and seven-seat versions, priced from ₹19.49 lakh to ₹23.49 lakh; a BaaS option starts at ₹13.99 lakh plus ₹4.90 per kilometre.
Its 2,810mm wheelbase and sliding middle-row seats help provide room for seven, including usable third-row seating for average-sized adults.
The review praised its brisk performance, composed ride and 230mm ground clearance, while noting its large size and touchscreen-heavy controls.
The vehicle has a claimed 0–100kmph time of 8.2 seconds, Level 2 driver assistance and connected features including over-the-air updates.
