MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV vs Honda Amaze Comparison 2026: Price, Mileage, Features

Comparison overview: The MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV starts at ₹25.69 L and the Honda Amaze at ₹7.65 L, a difference of ₹18.04 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹20.02 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV uses a 1,498cc Petrol making 100.57bhp@5800rpm and listed torque with Automatic. The Honda Amaze uses a 1,199cc Petrol making 89bhp@6000rpm and listed torque with Automatic/Manual.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV number is for the Petrol Automatic and the Honda Amaze number is for the Petrol Automatic/Manual, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

Space and practicality: The Honda Amaze takes 416 litres against 192, about 224 litres more. That is roughly one extra cabin-size bag of extra room.

What one gives that the other does not: The MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV adds Battery Capacity, Motor Type, Turbo Charger, Range and Charging Time (A.C). The Honda Amaze adds Driver Airbag, Passenger Airbag, Side Airbag, Curtain Airbag and Seat Belt Warning. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Honda Amaze if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹18.04 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Engine Type without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV offers Battery Capacity.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
