MG Hector Tomahawk EV: Design and Dimensions
Based on the Wuling Eksion/Starlight 560 sold in international markets, the MG Hector Tomahawk EV looks nearly identical to its global counterpart, featuring an upright fascia with LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs, connected by a black applique with an illuminated MG logo positioned between them. The black applique can also be seen lower on the bumper.
From the sides, the SUV has a traditional boxy silhouette. It rides on 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and features chunky wheel arches and lower body cladding for a muscular appeal. It also gets roof rails and door-mounted side mirrors.
Towards the rear, the Tomahawk EV features wraparound LED tail lamps and a sculpted dual-tone bumper with a black-&-silver finish.
Speaking of the dimensions, the SUV is 4,745mm long, 1,850mm wide and 1,770mm tall, with a 2,810mm wheelbase and 230mm ground clearance. Its 7-seater trim offers 192 litres of boot space with all three rows up, which can be extended to 528 litres with the third row folded, whereas the 5-seat version gets a 610-litre boot space.
