MG Hector Tomahawk EV: Variants Explained

MG Motor India has rolled out the Hector Tomahawk, the brand's new electric SUV, in three trims — Excite, Exclusive and Essence — priced from ₹19,49,800 to ₹23,49,800 (ex-showroom, All India). The company has also brought back its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership plan, under which the Tomahawk can be bought for as little as ₹13.99 lakh plus a battery rental of ₹4.9 per km, making the EV more accessible to first-time buyers.

Underpinning all three trims is the same powertrain: a 69.2 kWh battery pack driving a 150 kW, 310 Nm permanent magnet synchronous motor, good for a claimed range of 517 km on a single charge and a 0-100 kmph sprint in 8.2 seconds. The SUV measures 4,745 mm in length with a 2,810 mm wheelbase, and can be had with either five or seven seats, depending on variant.

Excite: the base variant

The entry-level Excite is offered only as a seven-seater, priced at ₹19,49,800 (₹13,99,000 under BaaS). It comes with the essentials: LED projector headlamps, LED tail lamps and DRLs, six airbags, ABS with EBD, hill hold control, electronic stability control, a reverse parking camera and rear parking sensors. Inside, buyers get a 32.5 cm touchscreen, a six-speaker audio system, leather (man-made) seat upholstery, and MG's i-Smart connected car suite with voice assistant and remote lock/unlock functionality.

Exclusive: the mid-spec option

Priced at ₹21,99,800 (₹15,99,000 under BaaS), the Exclusive is also a seven-seater-only variant and builds on the Excite with cosmetic and comfort upgrades. These include R18 dual-tone "Rotor" alloy wheels, chrome exterior accents, a chrome-finished window beltline, side body cladding, roof rails and a rear spoiler. The cabin gains the Desert Squadron interior theme in Almond Brown and Carbon Black.

Essence: the range-topping variant

The Essence sits at the top of the line-up and is the only variant offered with a choice of five or seven seats, priced at ₹22,99,800 and ₹23,49,800 respectively (₹16,99,000 and ₹17,49,000 under BaaS). It is the most feature-rich Tomahawk, adding the 39.6 cm "Grand View" touchscreen with India's first Gen AI-powered karaoke feature, a 10-speaker Infinity sound system with subwoofer, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, an automatic powered tailgate, and 256-colour ambient lighting. 

Crucially, the Essence is also the only variant to get MG's Level 2 ADAS suite — comprising adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking — along with Vehicle-to-Load, Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Home functionality, the latter billed as an India-first for a mass-market EV, allowing the car's battery to power a home during outages.
