MG Hector Tomahawk EV Variants

MG Hector Tomahawk EV Excite

The Excite is far from a bare-bones base model. For a start, it gets six airbags, ESP, traction control, hill hold and an electronic parking brake. Inside, a 12.8-inch touchscreen supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and both front seats are power-adjustable. Outside, LED projector headlamps, 18-inch alloys and roof rails come standard. Therefore, it suits families who want space and range on a tighter budget.

MG Hector Tomahawk EV Exclusive

For about Rs 2.5 lakh more, the Exclusive adds the comfort features most buyers want. Most notably, it brings a dual-pane panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats. In addition, a 360-degree camera makes parking this large SUV far easier, while a powered tailgate helps with loading. Auto headlamps and extra chrome trim also feature.

MG Hector Tomahawk EV Essence

The Essence sits at the top and costs about Rs 1.5 lakh more than the Exclusive in 7-seat form. For that, it adds a lot. First, the 15.6-inch touchscreen replaces the 12.8-inch unit, and a 10-speaker Infinity system upgrades the audio. Next, Level 2 ADAS brings adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. Moreover, V2L, V2V and V2H let you share the battery’s power with gadgets, other EVs or even your home. A memory driver seat, rear sunshades and 256-colour ambient lighting complete the package.

5-Seater or 7-Seater?

The choice depends on how you use the car. The 5-seat Essence offers a huge 610-litre boot, which suits families who travel with lots of luggage. By contrast, the 7-seat versions leave just 192 litres with all rows up, although that grows to 528 litres with the third row folded. So, pick the 7-seater only if you regularly carry more than five people.

Which Variant Should You Buy?

For most families, the Exclusive hits the sweet spot, thanks to its sunroof, cooled seats and 360-degree camera. However, the Essence offers strong value too, since Rs 1.5 lakh buys ADAS, a bigger screen, premium audio and V2H. Meanwhile, the Excite still makes sense if you want the Tomahawk’s space and range at the lowest price. For city-wise on-road prices, see the MG Hector Tomahawk EV price page.
