JSW MG Hector Tomahawk: Price, Range, Features, EV & PHEV Explained

JSW MG Motor India has introduced the new MG Hector Tomahawk in India with two electrified powertrain options – an all-electric EV and a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The Hector Tomahawk is based on MG’s new ADAPT platform and brings together a spacious SUV layout, premium cabin features, advanced safety technology and multiple ways of using electric power.
With the Hector Tomahawk, buyers can choose between a fully electric SUV and a PHEV that combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and battery.

MG Hector Tomahawk Price in India
The MG Hector Tomahawk is available in both EV and PHEV versions.

MG may introduce a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option for a limited number of bookings. Under this scheme, the Hector Tomahawk EV starts at ₹13.99 lakh + ₹4.90/km battery rental(speculative figures only not yet have any official confirmation on company website), while the PHEV starts at ₹21.79 lakh + ₹3.20/km battery rental(speculative figures only).
The prices mentioned above are introductory ex-showroom prices and buyers should check the latest price applicable in their city before making a purchase.

MG Hector Tomahawk Expected BaaS Offer: Buy the Car at a Lower Upfront Price “This feature could be introduced by the company in the near future, although it has not been officially confirmed yet.”
One of the biggest talking points of the new Hector Tomahawk is JSW MG Motor India's Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership option which may be available in nearby future.Under BaaS, the customer pays a lower upfront price for the vehicle and pays a separate per-kilometre battery rental based on usage.JSW MG Motor India may introduce this offer for a limited number of bookings, the expected introductory BaaS prices are:
Model                                         Expected BaaS Starting Price        Expected Battery Rental
Hector Tomahawk EV                 ₹13.99 lakh                                     ₹4.90/km
Hector Tomahawk PHEV             ₹21.79 lakh                                    ₹3.20/km
These are expected introductory ex-showroom prices, and the BaaS offer is expected available for a limited number of bookings.


How Does BaaS Work?
For example, if a Hector Tomahawk EV owner drives 1,000 km, the battery rental at ₹4.90/km would work out to:
1,000 × ₹4.90 = ₹4,900

For 1,500 km:
1,500 × ₹4.90 = ₹7,350

Similarly, for the Hector Tomahawk PHEV, 1,000 km would mean a battery rental of:
1,000 × ₹3.20 = ₹3,200

The important point for buyers is that BaaS reduces the initial purchase price, but the per-kilometre battery rental needs to be included when calculating the overall running and ownership cost.


BaaS vs Full Battery Ownership
Buyers who don't want a per-kilometre battery rental can also purchase the Hector Tomahawk with the battery included whenever offered by the company.
The introductory full-ownership prices start at:
Hector Tomahawk EV: ₹19.49 lakh
Hector Tomahawk PHEV: ₹25.69 lakh
Therefore, buyers should compare upfront cost + expected kilometres driven + battery rental before deciding which ownership model makes more sense for them. 


Which BaaS Option Makes More Sense?
For someone who wants to minimise the initial purchase cost, BaaS can make the Hector Tomahawk significantly more accessible.However, someone who drives very high kilometres every year may want to compare the BaaS model against the full battery ownership price, because the per-kilometre rental accumulates with usage.The BaaS offer is therefore particularly important to consider alongside the SUV's 517 km claimed EV range, 115+ km pure-electric PHEV range, and different usage patterns. 

MG Hector Tomahawk: Design and Dimensions
The Hector Tomahawk gets a bold and futuristic SUV design with a large stance and distinctive lighting elements.It measures 4,745 mm in length, 1,850 mm in width and 1,770 mm in height, with a 2,810 mm wheelbase. MG claims the SUV offers segment-leading proportions and a spacious cabin.
The exterior gets features such as:

  • Signature Beacon Lights
  • Illuminated MG logo
  • Sculpted bumpers
  • Rotor-style alloy wheels
  • Strong character lines
  • Automatic power tailgate
  • Dual-tone exterior colour options

The Hector Tomahawk EV is available in both 5-seat and 7-seat configurations, while the PHEV is offered as a 7-seater.

MG Hector Tomahawk EV: Battery and Range
The Hector Tomahawk EV uses a 69.2 kWh MAGIC battery pack paired with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor.
The electric motor produces:

  • Power: 150 kW
  • Torque: 310 Nm
  • Claimed range: 517 km
  • DC fast charging: Up to 90 kW

This makes the Hector Tomahawk EV particularly interesting for buyers looking for a large family SUV without a conventional petrol or diesel engine.MG is also offering a lifetime battery warranty for the first owner of the Hector Tomahawk EV.

MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV: Petrol + Electric Power
The PHEV version takes a different approach.It combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine, a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) and a 20.5 kWh battery pack.
The PHEV offers:

  • Pure-electric range: 115+ km
  • Electric motor power: 148 kW
  • 0-100 km/h: Approximately 9 seconds
  • Combined driving range: Over 1,100 km

The system can operate in different modes, including Pure Electric (Silent,smooth and responsive electric driving,designed for effortless everyday city journeys with zero-emmission mobility), Series Hybrid (Ideal for stop and go traffic,with the motor driving the wheels while the engine generates electricity in the backround), Parallel Hybrid (When overtaking or accelerating,the engine and motor work together for an extra surge of performance) and Engine Direct Drive (Smooth,confident power for effortless everday drives,delivering a refined and responsive experience on every journey).
This could make the PHEV an interesting option for buyers who want to drive electrically for daily usage but still want the flexibility of a petrol engine for longer journeys.

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) Technology
One of the most interesting features of the Hector Tomahawk is its Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) capability.MG says the vehicle can be used as a mobile power source, allowing its battery to power compatible household appliances and other equipment.This technology could become increasingly useful as electric vehicles become more integrated with home energy system's.

MG Hector Tomahawk: 5-Seater or 7-Seater?

The Hector Tomahawk EV is available in both 5-seat and 7-seat configurations, giving buyers more flexibility.The 5-seater version is likely to appeal to buyers who prioritise luggage space, while the 7-seater could be more suitable for larger families.The PHEV, however, is available exclusively in the 7-seat configuration.

MG Hector Tomahawk EV vs PHEV: Which One Should You Choose?

The choice between the two versions depends mainly on how you use your car.

Choose the Hector Tomahawk EV if:

  • Your daily driving is mostly within the city.
  • You have convenient access to charging.
  • You want a completely electric driving experience.
  • You prefer lower dependence on petrol.
  • You want a large electric family SUV.

Choose the Hector Tomahawk PHEV if:

  • You frequently travel long distances.
  • Charging availability is a concern.
  • You want electric driving for daily commutes.
  • You don't want range anxiety on highway trips.
  • You want the flexibility of both petrol and electric power.

MG Hector Tomahawk: Launch and Deliveries

Bookings for both the Hector Tomahawk EV and PHEV are open in India.MG says EV deliveries will begin in September 2026, while PHEV test drives and deliveries are scheduled to begin in November 2026.

CarKemaalik Verdict

The JSW MG Hector Tomahawk is an interesting addition to India's SUV market because MG is not offering buyers just one electrified solution.

The EV version targets customers ready to make the switch to full electric mobility, while the PHEV version attempts to combine electric driving with the convenience of a petrol engine for long-distance travel.

Its large dimensions, 5- and 7-seat options, 517 km claimed EV range, 115+ km electric PHEV range, Level 2 ADAS, large infotainment display and connected-car technology make it a feature-rich SUV.

However, buyers should look beyond the headline price and calculate the BaaS battery rental, charging requirements, running costs, usage pattern and ownership period before choosing between the EV and PHEV.

For buyers considering a new family SUV, the Hector Tomahawk is definitely a model worth putting on the comparison list.

CarKemaalik tip exclusively for Bass: Don't compare the Hector Tomahawk's ₹13.99 lakh BaaS price directly with another SUV's normal ex-showroom price. The BaaS price excludes the battery ownership component, so the battery rental must be considered separately.
