1.5-Litre Petrol Engine and 20.5kWh Battery

The Hector Tomahawk PHEV uses a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle petrol engine paired with a 20.5kWh battery and permanent-magnet electric motor.

The petrol engine produces 102hp and 125Nm, while the electric motor develops 201hp and 237Nm. MG has not revealed a combined system output figure.

The powertrain is paired with a dedicated hybrid transmission featuring an e-clutch. The petrol engine also has a claimed thermal efficiency of 43.2 percent.

Over 115km Electric Range

The plug-in hybrid SUV can travel more than 115km using electric power alone, according to MG. This means daily city commutes could potentially be completed without using the petrol engine, provided the battery is charged.

MG also claims a combined fuel efficiency figure of over 40kpl. With the battery fully charged and the fuel tank full, the SUV can cover more than 1,100km, making it suitable for longer journeys as well.

Four Hybrid Driving Modes

The Hector Tomahawk PHEV gets four operating modes: Pure EV, Series Hybrid, Parallel Hybrid and Engine Direct Drive.

In Pure EV mode, the electric motor drives the wheels using battery power. Series Hybrid mode uses the petrol engine to recharge the battery while the electric motor drives the wheels.

Parallel Hybrid mode allows both the engine and electric motor to drive the wheels, while Engine Direct Drive lets the petrol engine power the wheels directly.

The system can automatically switch between these modes depending on vehicle speed, throttle input, battery charge and road conditions. MG claims the transitions can happen in as little as 0.1 seconds.

Charging Details

The 20.5kWh battery can be charged using a 3.3kW AC charger, which takes around 7.5 hours to charge from 10 to 100 percent. A 25kW DC charger can charge the battery from 30 to 80 percent in around 35 minutes.
