CarDekho Says….
As the Hector Tomahawk EV is being offered with a 69.2 kWh battery pack only, it should be good for your daily drives, and with a claimed range of 517 km, you can do interstate journeys as well without worrying about range anxiety.
With the Hector Tomahawk EV now being launched, it is going to the second family electric SUV in this segment, where most nuclear families would appreciate the flexibility of seven seats and are looking for such SUV that has an usable range of 400-450 km. Whereas the Mahindra XEV 9S, which was the only option previously in this category, alternatively offers more battery options.
