The wait is over for MG’s new three-row SUV. MG Hector Tomahawk has officially arrived in India, bringing a spacious seven-seat layout, electric power, premium cabin technology and a long list of features. The new SUV is also important for MG because it introduces the company’s new ADAPT platform to the Indian market.
The Tomahawk is available in both EV and ICE/PHEV versions, with the electric model becoming the biggest talking point. The EV starts at ₹19.49 lakh ex-showroom, while MG is offering multiple variants and a Battery-as-a-Service option.
MG Hector Tomahawk 2026: Price at a Glance
The Tomahawk EV is available in different variants, with prices starting at:
| Variant | Price* |
|---|---|
| Tomahawk EV Excite | ₹19.49 lakh |
| Tomahawk EV Exclusive | ₹21.99 lakh |
| Tomahawk EV Essence 5-Seater | ₹22.99 lakh |
| Tomahawk EV Essence 7-Seater | ₹23.49 lakh |
*Ex-showroom, pan-India. The entry-level EV can also be purchased through MG’s Battery-as-a-Service plan, bringing the upfront vehicle price to ₹13.99 lakh, according to launch reports.
That makes the Tomahawk particularly interesting for buyers who want a large electric SUV without moving straight into the much more expensive premium EV segment.
69.2kWh Battery and 517km Claimed Range
The MG Hector Tomahawk EV gets a 69.2kWh LFP battery pack paired with a single electric motor.
The reported specifications include:
- Battery: 69.2kWh LFP
- Power: 201bhp
- Torque: 310Nm
- Claimed range: 517km
- 0-100km/h: 8.2 seconds
The range figure is based on the manufacturer’s claimed test-cycle figure, so real-world range will depend on traffic, temperature, driving style, passengers and air-conditioning use.
For a three-row SUV, a claimed range of more than 500km makes the Tomahawk an interesting option for family road trips as well as regular city driving.
Bold and Boxy SUV Design
The Tomahawk doesn’t look like a conventional crossover. MG has gone for a tall, upright and boxy shape that gives the SUV a strong road presence.
The exterior gets:
- Split-style LED DRLs
- LED headlamps
- Dynamic turn indicators
- Black grille with chrome detailing
- 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels
- LED rear lamps
- Rear fog lamps
- Roof rails
- Shark-fin antenna
- Strong SUV-style body cladding
The tall body also helps create a more spacious-looking cabin, particularly around the second and third rows.
A Spacious 7-Seater Interior
One of the biggest reasons to consider the MG Hector Tomahawk is its three-row layout.
The SUV is available in five- and seven-seat configurations, depending on the variant. The second row gets sliding and reclining functions, while the overall cabin design focuses on space and comfort.
For large families, this could be more important than outright performance. The upright seating position and large windows should also make the cabin feel airy.
Huge 15.6-Inch Touchscreen
Inside, the Tomahawk gets one of the largest infotainment screens in its segment.
The SUV features a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, along with a digital driver’s display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available.
Other technology highlights include:
- Wireless smartphone connectivity
- Wireless charging
- Connected-car technology
- 10-speaker Infinity audio system
- 256-colour ambient lighting
- Panoramic sunroof
- Powered tailgate
- Ventilated front seats
- Powered driver’s seat
- Rear sunshades
MG Adds Some Unusual Features
MG has packed the Tomahawk with more than just the usual touchscreen and sunroof features.
The SUV gets 80+ connected-car features and more than 30 Hinglish voice commands. It also offers several lifestyle-oriented cabin modes, including:
- Nap Mode
- Camp Mode
- Pro Pet Mode
- Energise Mode
- Valet Mode
- Quiet Mode
The vehicle also supports V2L, allowing the battery to power external electrical equipment. More notably, MG is offering V2H technology, which the company positions as an India-first feature.
These features could make the Tomahawk particularly interesting for owners who use their SUV for weekend trips and outdoor activities.
360-Degree Camera and ADAS
Safety is another major area where MG has loaded up the Tomahawk.
The SUV gets features such as:
- Electronic Stability Programme
- Traction Control
- Hill Hold Control
- ABS with EBD
- Electronic Parking Brake
- 360-degree camera
- Transparent chassis view
- Wheel-view camera
- Level 2 ADAS
The Level 2 driver-assistance package adds another layer of technology to the SUV, although these systems are designed to assist the driver rather than replace the driver.
New ADAPT Platform
The Hector Tomahawk is more than just another new MG SUV. It is the first MG model in India to use the company’s ADAPT architecture.
The platform has been designed to support different types of powertrains, which is important as manufacturers increasingly move between petrol, hybrid and electric technology.
This means the Tomahawk could be the beginning of a broader product strategy for MG rather than a one-off model.
MG Hector Tomahawk vs Traditional SUVs
The biggest difference is the powertrain choice.
A conventional SUV relies on petrol or diesel, while the Tomahawk EV offers:
Electric motor → instant torque → quiet driving → no conventional engine → home/fast charging
For urban users, the smooth and quiet nature of an EV could be a major advantage.
For highway users, however, charging infrastructure and actual highway range will remain important considerations.
Who Should Consider the MG Hector Tomahawk?
The Tomahawk makes the most sense for buyers who want:
- A spacious family SUV
- Seven seats
- Electric power
- More than 500km claimed range
- Premium interior features
- Advanced connected technology
- A large infotainment screen
- ADAS
- A distinctive SUV design
It could be especially appealing to families looking for a single vehicle that can handle daily commuting and weekend travel.
What Could Be the Biggest Challenge?
Despite its long feature list, buyers should look beyond the equipment list.
The most important questions will be the real-world EV range, charging time, third-row comfort, luggage space with all seats occupied and long-term battery performance.
These are areas where real ownership experience will tell us more than specifications alone.
Final Verdict
The MG Hector Tomahawk 2026 gives the Indian market a fresh take on the three-row electric SUV.
Its combination of a 69.2kWh battery, claimed 517km range, 201bhp motor, seven-seat practicality, 15.6-inch touchscreen, Level 2 ADAS and V2L/V2H technology makes it one of MG’s most ambitious launches yet.
The starting EV price of ₹19.49 lakh ex-showroom also puts it into an interesting position for buyers considering a large electric family SUV.
The real test, however, will come once customers begin driving the Tomahawk in everyday Indian conditions. Real-world range, charging convenience and third-row usability will ultimately determine how strong a family SUV it becomes.
