## Undisguised Test Mule Reveals Hector Tomahawk's Design A test mule of the upcoming MG Hector Tomahawk has been spotted on Indian roads, giving us a clear look at the car's design. The undisguised test mule hints at the Hector Tomahawk's final design, which features LED headlamps with dual LED DRLs connected by a black trim. The front end also features a blanked-off grille, with a rectangular air inlet lower down. The front bumper has a dual-tone design, with vertical air curtains on its sides. The bonnet has subtle ridges, and the car is finished in an olive green shade with a black roof and rails. In profile, the sides look clean with chrome door handles, and the window line, finished in chrome, gets an upward kink at the back. The car also features plenty of black cladding for the squared-off wheel arches and door sills extending toward the rear bumper. The large alloy wheels were spotted with a dual-tone design. ## What to Expect from the Hector Tomahawk EV The MG Hector Tomahawk is based on the Wuling Eksion, which is sold in the Indonesian market. The Hector Tomahawk is expected to retain the Eksion's dimensions, including a length of 4,745mm, a width of 1,850mm, a height of 1,755mm, and a wheelbase of 2,810mm. A previous teaser of the model confirmed a beige colour theme for the Hector Tomahawk's cabin. The dashboard is expected to retain the Eksion's minimalistic layout, which includes screens for the driver's display and infotainment system, a two-spoke steering wheel, and a centre console with cupholders and storage spaces. The Hector Tomahawk EV is expected to come with a range of features, including a powered tailgate, leatherette upholstery, powered and ventilated front seats, a 12.8-inch touch-infotainment head unit, an 8.8-inch digital driver's display, a 50-watt wireless charger, automatic climate control with AC vents for the second and third rows, a 360-degree camera system, an electronic parking brake, six airbags, and an ADAS suite. While exact powertrain specs of the Hector Tomahawk EV remain under wraps, the Eksion, for reference, is powered by a 69.2kWh LFP battery pack with a CLTC range of up to 530km. The battery is paired with a front-mounted motor delivering 201hp and 310Nm, and has a 160kph top speed. The MG Hector Tomahawk EV is expected to be priced between Rs 18 lakh and Rs 25 lakh, making it a competitor to the Mahindra XEV 9S and the Kia Carens Clavis EV.
