Maruti Suzuki has long been associated with fuel-efficient cars in India, particularly through its strong-hybrid and CNG offerings. However, a new plug-in hybrid SUV highlighted by MotorOctane is challenging that reputation with a claimed driving range of 1,110 kilometres on a full tank and battery charge. The vehicle in question is the MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV, which combines a petrol engine with an electric powertrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV: What Makes It Different?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to MotorOctane, the MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV uses a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 101 bhp and 125 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 20.5 kWh battery, with the combined powertrain reportedly delivering 198 bhp and 237 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SUV is said to feature a dedicated hybrid transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. Its powertrain can operate in four modes: electric-only, series hybrid, parallel hybrid and engine-direct mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This setup allows the vehicle to rely on battery power for shorter journeys while using the petrol engine and electric motor together when additional range or performance is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to 115 km of Electric-Only Driving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most notable claims is an electric-only driving range of up to 115 kilometres. For people whose daily commutes are relatively short, this could potentially reduce petrol consumption considerably if the battery is charged regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MotorOctane also reports a claimed fuel efficiency of 25 km\/l and a total driving range of approximately 1,100 kilometres. The publication mentions that a higher figure of 50 km\/l was claimed during the vehicle’s launch, but says this number has not been confirmed through MG’s official channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These figures should therefore be treated cautiously. Real-world efficiency will depend on driving conditions, battery charge levels, traffic, speed and how frequently the vehicle is plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features and Expected Positioning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reported equipment list includes a 15.6-inch infotainment screen, an 8.8-inch digital driver’s display, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems, six airbags and a 360-degree camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SUV is also reported to offer seven-seat accommodation, putting it in competition with larger family vehicles such as the Mahindra XUV 7XO and Tata Safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MotorOctane lists prices between \u20b930.70 lakh and \u20b933.28 lakh on-road in Mumbai, while a battery-as-a-service arrangement reportedly lowers the initial ex-showroom price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can It Beat Maruti on Mileage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer depends on what is being measured. A plug-in hybrid can achieve impressive overall efficiency when it is charged frequently and many journeys are completed using electricity. Its petrol efficiency may be substantially different once the battery is depleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maruti’s strong-hybrid SUVs, including the Victoris and Grand Vitara, have established ARAI-certified fuel-efficiency figures. Any direct comparison with the MG model requires verified specifications and consistent testing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, the reported claims surrounding the Hector Tomahawk PHEV require independent confirmation before it can confidently be described as India’s most fuel-efficient SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV is reported to combine a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 20.5 kWh battery, delivering a claimed 1,110 km total range and up to 115 km of electric-only driving. MotorOctane also cites 25 km\/l efficiency and a feature-rich seven-seat cabin. However, the headline mileage claims and specifications require official confirmation before comparisons with Maruti’s established hybrid SUVs can be considered conclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
