MG Windsor EV: Here’s What You Get With Each Of Its Three Variants

MG has introduced a new EV on our shores, the Windsor EV. It is the brand’s third electric vehicle in India after the ZS EV and Comet EV. The Windsor EV is unlike other electric vehicles in India in terms of exterior styling. It offers some segment-first features to set it apart from its rivals. It is available in three different variants: Excite, Exclusive and Essence. In this article, we will be taking you through the features which you get with each of these variants:

While the base-spec variant comes with all the essentials, the mid-spec variant brings in some of the premium features. The top-spec variant only adds four features on paper, but they are niceties that uplift the cabin and make the experience feel more upmarket. 

Price And Rivals 

The MG Windsor EV is priced aggressively, starting from Rs 9.9 lakh (ex-showroom). However, there’s a catch here and the price mentioned above doesn’t include the price of the battery. Rather, you will have to pay for the battery usage at Rs 3.5 per km and this means that you are essentially renting the battery. At the price it's offered at, it is a larger alternative to the Tata Punch EV and it rivals the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400.
