JSW MG Motor India will launch its new SUV on August 28. Expected to be called the Hector Hawk, it will be the first model based on the company's new ADAPT platform and will be offered with both battery electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains.
The Hector Hawk is based on the Wuling Starlight 560 sold in international markets. It measures 4.7m in length, 1.85m in width and 1.7m in height. Spy shots reveal rectangular LED headlamps with LED DRLs, a blanked-off grille (likely for the EV), wraparound LED tail-lamps, a roof-mounted spoiler and a charging port on the left rear fender.
Inside, the SUV is expected to feature a minimalist dashboard with an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Other expected features include a panoramic sunroof, powered and ventilated front seats, a 50W wireless phone charger, a 6-speaker sound system and automatic climate control with rear AC vents.
The EV version is expected to get a 69.2kWh battery pack paired with a 201hp, 310Nm front-mounted electric motor, offering a CLTC-claimed range of 530km. The PHEV version is expected to combine a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 20.5kWh battery pack and an electric motor, offering a total output of 195hp and 230Nm and an all-electric range of 125km.
In MG's India lineup, the Hector Hawk is expected to be positioned above the current Hector. The EV version is likely to rival the Mahindra XEV 9S, while the PHEV is expected to take on the Mahindra XUV 7XO and Tata Safari.
