The SUV gets a side profile of a typical seven-seater with a proportionally smaller third-quarter glass panel. Additionally, the SUV gets plastic cladding on the wheel arches complementing the 18-inch alloy wheels. All of it makes the SUV appear taller with pull-style door handles.

Talking of the front fascia, the major part of attention is grabbed by the presence of rectangular LED headlights with LED DRL strips. This is complemented by the presence of gloss-black panels with illuminated elements, including the brand's logo replacing the Wuling logo on the Chinese iteration. All of it contributes to providing an upright stance synonymous with the Hector nameplate.

The MG Hector Tomahawk test mules have been spotted multiple times in India. Based on the pictures, the design does not deviate far from the Wuling Starlight 560 sold in the Chinese market. It continues with the same elements, while it is also expected to get India-specific changes like a new badge for the nameplate, among other things.

The MG Hector Tomahawk will be the renamed version of the Wuling Starlight already on sale in China. This is in sync with the automaker's strategy of renaming Chinese models for India. It is worth mentioning that MG Comet and the MG Windsor are also products of the same formula.

The ADAPT platform used for the Hector Tomahawk will be used to spawn EVs, range-extended EVs, plug-in hybrids, and hybrid SUVs. With the range of options on the cards, it is a big upgrade for the Hector nameplate. The platform was earlier unveiled by the automaker and is already in use in the international market.
