The cabin gets a dual-tone colour scheme with dark grey and off-white shades. Key features include a 15.6-inch touchscreen, an 8.8-inch driver display, wireless charging and a two-spoke steering wheel. The SUV also gets ventilated seats, gesture-based AC and music controls, 256-colour ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, a 10-speaker Infinity audio system, an electric tailgate, connected car features and rear window sunshades.
The powertrain combines a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 20.5kWh battery pack and an electric motor. The motor develops 201 hp and 237 Nm, while the petrol engine produces 102 hp and 125 Nm.
MG claims an electric-only driving range of 115 km for the Hector Tomahawk PHEV. When the petrol engine and electric system are combined, the SUV is claimed to deliver up to 1,100 km of range on a full tank.
