Hector Tomahawk PHEV offers a range of over 1100km XUV 7XO gets an optional AWD capabiltiies
While 10-year diesel bans continue to hamper sunb-4 metre and midsize SUV sales, larger 3-row SUVs in India still see strong demand for diesel powertrains.However, automobile manufacturers believe that hybrids are the perfect replacement for the diesels. The 3-row family SUV segment in our market is witnessing a clash between classic diesel muscle and next-gen green mobility as JSW MG has launched the Tomahawk PHEV to rival the Mahindra XUV 7XO Diesel.
While Mahindra XUV 7XO offers raw low-end torque and optional All-Wheel Drive (AWD) capabilities, the MG Hector Tomahawk is India’s first mainstream plug-in hybrid to deliver zero-emission city driving and long-distance highway flexibility.
