MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV FAQs

We recommend the entry-spec Exclusive trim, as it is offered with a lot of modern-day features like a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate and a 360-degree camera. It also costs much less than the top-spec Essence trim, making it a more value-for-money buy.

The Hector Tomahawk is completely unrelated to the existing Hector. Also, the MG Hector Tomahawk is based on the brand's new ADAPT platform.

Available in a 7-seater configuration, the Hector Tomahawk PHEV finds itself in the company of the Mahindra XUV 7XO and Tata Safari.

There are four drive modes: EV (electric motor drives the wheels), series hybrid (engine recharges the battery, while electric motor drives the wheels), parallel hybrid (both engine and electric motor together drive the wheels for maximum performance) and engine direct drive (engine directly powers the wheels to minimise conversion losses for efficient highway driving). The powertrain automatically shuffles between all the modes, requiring no manual input from the driver.

Compared to the EV, the PHEV version gets a large functional grille with chrome elements, gloss black garnishes below the rectangular headlamps and a chunky bull bar-like silver trim piece on the bumper. The design for the 18-inch wheels also differs in comparison to the EV.
