The MG Hector Tomahawk EV now costs Rs 75,000 more in every variant. JSW MG India has ended the introductory prices it launched the electric SUV with in August 2026. The range now runs from Rs 20.25 lakh to Rs 24.25 lakh. The equipment and specifications are unchanged, so the extra money buys nothing new.
The hike adds Rs 75,000 to every variant
The increase is flat, at Rs 75,000 for every variant. MG has not changed the equipment list or the specifications, so this is a straight price correction rather than an update.
Prices by variant after the hike
The entry point is now the Excite seven-seater at Rs 20.25 lakh. The table lists the ex-showroom price of each variant after the increase.
| Variant | Seats | Ex-showroom price after hike |
|---|---|---|
| Excite | 7 | Rs 20.25 lakh |
| Exclusive | 7 | Rs 22.75 lakh |
| Essence | 5 | Rs 23.75 lakh |
| Essence | 7 | Rs 24,25,000 |
Battery-as-a-Service price is unchanged
If you buy under Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), the hike does not touch you. The BaaS price stays at Rs 13.99 lakh, with a running charge of Rs 4.9 per km.
The trade-off is the per-km charge, which you pay for as long as you drive the car, so your choice between BaaS and an outright purchase depends on how far you drive, not only on the upfront price.
Estimated on-road prices and rival electric SUVs
IndiCar estimates the Excite seven-seater at about Rs 21,88,000 on the road in Mumbai and the Essence seven-seater at about Rs 26,11,000, going by eight similarly priced electric variants on its price list. These are estimates, not quotes, and IndiCar confirms the exact on-road price in writing before you book.
The rivals below are listed at their starting variants, from price lists dated 12 and 24 October 2026.
| Model and variant | Ex-showroom | On-road |
|---|---|---|
| MG Hector Tomahawk EV Excite 7-seater | Rs 20,25,000 | about Rs 21,88,000 (estimate) |
| Mahindra XEV 9s One Above | Rs 20,65,000 | Rs 22,28,459 |
| Mahindra XEV 9e One | Rs 21,90,001 | Rs 23,61,492 |
| Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella High | Rs 23,60,000 | Rs 25,96,585 |
| MG Hector Tomahawk EV Essence 7-seater | Rs 24,25,000 | about Rs 26,11,000 (estimate) |
Even after the hike, the entry Tomahawk EV is estimated to cost less on the road than the starting on-road price of the Mahindra XEV 9s and the on-road price of the Mahindra XEV 9e. The top Essence seven-seater is estimated above the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella's on-road price. This compares purchase prices only. It does not cover equipment differences between these cars or their running costs.
You can see listed figures for the wider range on the MG Hector on-road price page.
Battery, range and motor
MG quotes a claimed range of 517 km on a single charge from a 69.2 kWh battery it calls MAGIC. None of this changes with the new prices.
- Motor: front-mounted, with output reported at between 201 bhp and 204 hp, and 310 Nm of torque
- Seating: five-seat and seven-seat configurations
- Driver assistance: Level 2 ADAS
- Screens: a 15.6-inch touchscreen and an 8.8-inch digital driver's display
Registrations so far
Registrations rose to 1,545 units in October 2026, against 443 in September. MG opened bookings at launch and said EV deliveries would start in September 2026.
The Essence seven-seater alone accounted for 1,000 registrations, nearly 65% of Tomahawk sales.
Which variant suits whom
The Rs 75,000 increase is the same across the range, so it does not change the gaps between variants. Your choice still comes down to seats and budget.
- Excite 7-seater, Rs 20.25 lakh: the cheapest way into a seven-seat Tomahawk EV, and on the estimates above it undercuts the starting Mahindra XEV 9s and XEV 9e on purchase price.
- Exclusive 7-seater, Rs 22.75 lakh: the middle step if you want a seven-seater above the entry trim.
- Essence 5-seater, Rs 23.75 lakh: for buyers who want the Essence trim but do not need a third row.
- Essence 7-seater, Rs 24.25 lakh: the top of the range and the variant that accounted for nearly 65% of sales.
Our view: the hike removes a launch discount rather than changing the car, and on purchase price the entry seven-seater still sits below the Mahindra rivals listed above. Running costs, charging and equipment are not part of that comparison, so weigh them before you decide.
