The MG Hector Hawk EV is set to debut ahead of the PHEV model.

JSW MG Motors India has officially released the first teaser of its upcoming New Energy Vehicle (NEV), which is all set to be introduced on August 26, 2026. The teaser also revealed that the company will first launch the all-electric model of the SUV, which will be branded as MG Hector Hawk. 

The new model is the heavily rebadged version of the Wuling Starlight 560, which is currently on sale in the Chinese markets. The MG Hector Hawk 7-seater electric SUV will be the first SUV to be underpinned by the brand's all-new ADAPT (Advanced Drive Architecture Platform). 

This can also accommodate multiple powertrains including electric, strong hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and range extender hybrid models.

It includes rectangular-shaped LED headlamps and LED daytime running lights, a sporty bumper housing a thick cladding present at the lower section and a faux skid plate.
