MG Hector Tomahawk EV vs the Rs 55 to 70 Lakh Electric SUVs in Nepal
The MG Hector Tomahawk EV has launched in Nepal through G.O. Automobiles, the authorized JSW MG distributor, at an introductory price of Rs. 57,99,000 for the first 50 buyers, with a regular price of Rs 61.99 lakh. It is a seven-seat electric SUV with a 69.2 kWh battery and a claimed 517 km range on the MIDC cycle, which is about 403 km in WLTP-equivalent terms. That places it in the busiest part of Nepal's EV market, where most rivals seat only five.

Price and specs at a glance
| Model | Price | Seats | Battery | Motor | Claimed range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MG Hector Tomahawk EV | Rs. 57,99,000 | 7 | 69.2 kWh | 150 kW | 517 km (MIDC) |
| Wuling Eksion | Rs. 57,99,000 | 7 | 69.2 kWh | 150 kW | 530 km (CLTC) |
| Wuling Darion | Rs. 55,99,000 | 7 | 69.2 kWh | 150 kW | 540 km (CLTC) |
| BYD M6 | Rs. 58,90,000 | 7 | 71.8 kWh | 100 kW | 440 km (WLTP) |
| Mahindra XEV 9S | Rs. 60,00,000 | 7 | 59 kWh | 170 kW | 350 km |
The twin: Tomahawk vs Wuling Eksion
The Tomahawk is a rebadged Wuling Eksion, so the two share the same platform, the same 69.2 kWh battery, the same 150 kW motor and the same seven-seat cabin. The practical difference is the MG badge, the MG dealer and service network, and the trim detailing. The Eksion sits a little lower on price, so the question is whether MG's wider service footprint in Nepal is worth the small premium over the newer Wuling brand. The Wuling Darion is the same running gear in a slightly different body and is the value pick of the three.
The seven-seat rivals: BYD M6 and Mahindra XEV 9S
The BYD M6 is the established seven-seat electric option at this price and carries the largest battery of the group at 71.8 kWh. It is more of an MPV than an SUV, so it trades ground clearance and road presence for a roomy, flat-floor cabin. The Mahindra XEV 9S brings the most powerful motor here at 170 kW and the appeal of an Indian brand with a growing service base, though its claimed range is the lowest of the five. Against both, the Tomahawk's strengths are its 517 km claimed range and its 230 mm ground clearance, which suits Nepal's broken and flooded roads.
If you do not need seven seats
Buyers who only need five seats have more to choose from in this band. The GAC Aion Y (Rs. 58,50,000) offers strong real-world range in a compact electric SUV at a similar price. Five-seat crossovers like the Deepal S05 Plus and the BYD Atto 3 also compete here, so the honest question is how often that third row will earn its place.
Pros of the MG Hector Tomahawk EV
- Seven seats at a price where most EVs seat five
- 69.2 kWh battery, 517 km claimed range (about 403 km WLTP est.)
- 230 mm ground clearance for rough and flooded roads
- 15.6-inch touchscreen, 10-speaker Infinity audio, ventilated front seats
- Level 2 ADAS on the top variant, 360 camera and six airbags
- Introductory Rs. 57,99,000 pricing for early buyers
Things to keep in mind
- With all three rows up, boot space drops to 192 litres
- 90 kW peak DC charging is adequate rather than class leading
- The full driver-assistance suite is limited to the top variant
- Nepal-market warranty terms are still to be confirmed
Verdict
The MG Hector Tomahawk EV answers a real gap in Nepal: a seven-seat electric SUV with usable range and ground clearance at a mainstream price. If you need three rows and want to go electric, it is one of the few ways to do it near Rs 58 lakh, and the MG service network is a point in its favour over its Wuling twin. Buyers who only need five seats can also look at its platform siblings and the other crossovers in this band, which may offer a slightly lower price or a different feature mix. The right pick comes down to how often that third row earns its place.
