The MG Hector Tomahawk EV is a three-row SUV available in Excite, Exclusive and Essence trims. All three use the same battery pack and electric motor, with the main differences being the features and seating layouts on offer. If you’re considering the Hector Tomahawk EV, here’s a detailed look at which variant makes the most sense.

*Battery rental fee.
The Hector Tomahawk EV, like all other mass-market MG EVs sold in India, is available with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) scheme that lowers the upfront cost. Notably, buyers opting for BaaS have to pay a battery rental fee of Rs 4.9 per kilometre. For the Hector Tomahawk EV, the scheme reduces the upfront price by up to Rs 6.01 lakh.
All trims feature a 69.2kWh battery pack, which powers a 204hp, 310Nm electric motor mounted on the front axle. The 0-100kph sprint takes 8.2 seconds (claimed). On the Modified Indian Driving Cycle (MIDC), the SUV can go up to 517km on a single charge. As per MG, it takes about 35 minutes to charge the battery from 30 percent to 80 percent with a 90kW DC fast charger. With a 7.4kW AC unit, the carmaker claims a charging time of about 12.5 hours for a 10 percent to 100 percent top-up.

Which variant of the MG Hector Tomahawk EV should you buy?
The mid-spec Exclusive trim, priced at Rs 22 lakh (ex-showroom), is the one we recommend for the MG Hector Tomahawk EV. Compared to the base Excite, it adds ventilated seats at the front, a 50W wireless charger with cooling and a powered tailgate – features that should appeal to buyers of such an EV. With the BaaS option, the upfront cost can be reduced by Rs 6.01 lakh (as on August 26, 2026), making for a significant initial saving. Buyers who want the five-seat version will have to choose the top-spec Essence trim, as it is the only one available with this seating configuration.
What’s good is that there is no difference in performance or range across the line-up. All trims use the same 69.2kWh battery pack and 204hp electric motor, while the MIDC-rated range remains identical at 517km.
