The MG Hector Tomahawk EV has been launched at a very attractive price. Although we haven't tested the Hector Tomahawk EV to comment on its performance, range or comfort, first impressions seem positive, and it seems very competent on paper. The Safari EV, on the other hand, hasn't been launched yet, and it's likely to be more expensive in comparison. So waiting for that might only delay your purchase.If you want a competent, proven seven-seater electric car, you could consider the Mahindra XEV 9S and the Kia Clavis EV. The former is more powerful and nicer to drive, while the latter is a lot more spacious in the third row and will be relatively more affordable.

With a daily running of around 70km, the financial case for an EV becomes very strong, provided you have access to home charging. The MG Hector Tomahawk EV is a large, comfortable SUV with a spacious cabin and a long range, making it well suited to your usage pattern. It will also deliver significantly lower running costs compared to a hybrid or petrol car.The Kia Sorento HTE (O) Hybrid is a very appealing product, but the fuel savings are not as dramatic as those of a well-used EV. Selling a one-year-old Carens Clavis will also involve a depreciation hit that is difficult to justify unless the Sorento offers something you genuinely need.The Clavis DCT is already a very capable family car, and there is no compelling reason to replace it after just one year. The smarter move is to retain the Clavis and add the Hector Tomahawk EV as your primary daily driver. This way, you get the best of both worlds: an efficient, low-cost commuter and a practical family car for longer trips.

The MG Hector Tomahawk EV is a well-priced EV that's equipped with a 69.2 kWh battery and has a claimed range of 517km. On paper, it certainly looks promising; however, we're yet to test it extensively to pass a definitive judgement on its dynamics, comfort and real-world performance and range.Since your Rs 20-30 lakh budget permits, we'd still recommend you opt for the 70kWh or 79kWh battery version of the Mahindra XEV 9S. It has been on the market, and Mahindra EVs have been around for a while now. The Mahindra XEV 9S offers more tech and features; its motor is more powerful; and in our tests, it has consistently managed around 480km of real-world range.
