The MG Hector Hawk: New PHEV SUV with 1,100km Range is expected to debut in India soon. According to recent reports, JSW MG Motor plans to launch two new SUVs by Diwali this year, likely a plug-in hybrid and an electric vehicle based on the China-spec Wuling Starlight 560. While the company hasn’t confirmed names, a media report suggests the PHEV will be called the MG Hector Hawk, with an official debut scheduled for July 16, 2026.
The upcoming MG Hector Hawk: New PHEV SUV will share its plug-in hybrid powertrain with the Wuling Starlight 560. In China, this drivetrain combines a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine with an electric motor and a 20.5kWh battery pack, producing 197bhp and 230Nm. It offers an electric-only range of 100km and an impressive combined range of up to 1,100km. The electric variant of the MG Hector Hawk is expected to use a 56.7kWh battery and a 236bhp motor, providing a 500km CLTC range and fast charging from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes.
The MG Hector Hawk: New PHEV SUV with 1,100km Range will measure 4,745mm in length, 1,850mm in width, and 1,770mm in height, with a 2,810mm wheelbase. Features likely include a 12.8-inch touchscreen, 8.8-inch digital driver display, Level 2 ADAS, and all-LED lighting. These details suggest a premium yet practical package.
In summary, the MG Hector Hawk PHEV aims to address range anxiety with its 1,100km combined range, while offering modern features and competitive dimensions for the Indian SUV market. The upcoming launches could strengthen JSW MG Motor’s green vehicle lineup significantly.
