MG Windsor EV

The MG Windsor EV is a roomy five seat electric crossover for city and suburb. Its flat electric floor opens up unusually generous rear legroom. Two battery packs are offered, a 38 kWh unit and a larger 52.9 kWh Pro. Both drive the front wheels through a 134 bhp motor and single speed automatic.

Five trims make up the range, from ₹14.84 Lakh to ₹19.14 Lakh ex-showroom. The three standard trims use the 38 kWh battery for a claimed 332 km. The two Pro trims fit the 52.9 kWh pack for a claimed 449 km. To match a pack to your commute, see how far each Windsor battery goes.

The Windsor suits home charging drivers who value cabin space above all. It measures 4295 mm long yet feels far bigger inside. The boot holds 604 litres on the Excite and Exclusive, and 579 litres on the other three trims, which is large for an electric crossover this size. Its 186 mm ground clearance clears most city speed breakers. For the full picture, read the Windsor equipment by trim.

MG also sells the Windsor under a Battery as a Service plan. The sticker price drops because you rent the battery instead of owning it. You then pay a small charge for every kilometre you drive. Once a trim appeals, pick from the Windsor colour palette to finish.

For a first electric crossover with real cabin space and two range options, the Windsor is an easy recommendation. Home charging keeps its running cost low. Regenerative braking tops the battery back up as you slow in traffic. An electric motor needs very little routine service over the years.
