MG Windsor EV: Rear Seat Experience

Based on an all-EV platform, the Windsor EV’s wheels are placed around the car’s corners and there is no transmission tunnel as well in the middle which generates a good amount of space in the second row. 

The Windsor EV provides more than sufficient headroom, knee room and legroom, especially for the price it's offered at and in comparison with the space offered in rival cars. To strengthen its case further, you also get a recline function where you can recline the seats by up to 135 degrees (best-in-segment). 

The seat cushioning is also top-notch and gives you a feeling of being sinked into the seats. It is ideal for those who are usually chauffeured around and want to take a quick nap before reaching their destination. The recline feature along with the soft cushioning gives you a lounge-like experience. 

You get fully adjustable headrests and an armrest with built-in cup holders. The practicality and convenience factor is further increased by a reading light in the cabin. The rear door pockets are large and spacious and can easily fit in soft drinks, coffee cups and water bottles. Adding to a sense of room and airiness are the large windows and a panoramic glass roof which is not offered on any other car in the segment. 

You also get a charging option and a single AC vent. The downside with the single AC vent is that the airflow can only be directed in a single direction which could lead to arguments with the passenger sitting next to you. 

MG has really focused on providing a comfortable back seat experience. While the Comet EV’s rear seat is better suited for kids and the ZS EV is not well-known for the rear seat experience. With the Windsor, MG has nailed it with the back seat experience. It is a car that can be and in fact should be considered if you are looking for a comfortable and spacious rear seat experience.
