MG has launched the Hector Tomahawk in two powertrains, with the plug-in hybrid version claiming 40 kmpl efficiency and a range of 1,100 km on a full tank. The PHEV starts at Rs 25.7 lakh, competing directly with the Toyota Innova Hycross hybrid, which offers 22.16 kmpl and starts at Rs 26 lakh.
The electric version, the Tomahawk EV, has a 69.2 kWh battery pack with a claimed range of 517 km and a starting price of Rs 19.5 lakh without BAAS, or Rs 13.9 lakh with BAAS. It is cheaper than the Mahindra XEV 9S, which starts at Rs 20.6 lakh, but the top-end XEV 9S offers a longer range of 679 km and higher power at 286 bhp compared to the Tomahawk EV's 204 bhp.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Hector Tomahawk PHEV's 40 kmpl claim, if certified, would put it ahead of every hybrid MPV in the Indian market, but plug-in hybrids depend heavily on charging access: the 40 kmpl figure requires regular battery charging. The EV's BAAS pricing at Rs 13.9 lakh is aggressive, but the per-kilometre rental adds a running cost that customers must calculate against their monthly usage. The real comparison will be settled by real-world testing and certification, not spec sheets. Buyers should watch for the official ARAI efficiency figures and the final BAAS rental terms before deciding.
