The recent launch of the MG Windsor Pro has expanded the Windsor EV lineup to four variants. Priced between ₹14 lakh and ₹17.5 lakh (ex-showroom), the Windsor goes up against established rivals like the Tata Nexon EV, Mahindra XUV400, and the newer Tata Curvv EV. Here’s a detailed comparison of how these electric vehicles stack up in terms of dimensions, performance, battery range, and pricing.
Dimensions: MG Windsor is the Most Spacious
| Model | Length (mm) | Width (mm) | Height (mm) | Wheelbase (mm) | Ground Clearance (mm) | Boot Space (L) | Tyre Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MG Windsor | 4295 | 1850 | 1677 | 2700 | 186 | 579–604 | 215/55 R18 |
| Tata Curvv EV | 4310 | 1810 | 1637 | 2560 | 186–190 | 500 | 215/55 R18 |
| Tata Nexon EV | 3994 | 1811 | 1616 | 2498 | 190–205 | 350 | 215/60 R16 |
| Mahindra XUV400 | 4200 | 1821 | 1634 | 2600 | – | 378 | 205/65 R16 |
Despite the Tata Curvv EV being the longest, the MG Windsor offers superior cabin space with the widest body, tallest height, and the longest wheelbase. It also has the biggest boot, though the Pro variant sacrifices 25 litres of luggage space to accommodate a larger battery. While the Nexon EV leads in ground clearance, it offers the smallest boot.
Powertrain, Battery, and Range: Curvv EV Leads in Power, XUV400 in Speed
| Model | Battery (kWh) | Range (MIDC, km) | Power (hp) | Torque (Nm) | 0-100 km/h (s) | AC Charger (kW) | Charging Time (hrs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MG Windsor | 38 / 52.9 | 331–449 | 136 | 200 | – | 3.3–7.4 | 6.5–9.5 |
| Tata Curvv EV | 45 / 55 | 430–502 | 150–167 | 215 | 8.6–9 | 7.2 | 6.5–7.9 |
| Tata Nexon EV | 30.2 / 45 | 275–489 | 129–144 | 215 | 8.9–9.2 | 3.3–7.2 | 4.3–6 |
| Mahindra XUV400 | 34.5 / 39.4 | TBA* | 150 | 310 | 8.3 | 3.3–7.2 | 6.5 |
*Note: XUV400 range based on the latest MIDC test cycle is yet to be disclosed.
The Tata Curvv EV stands out for its class-leading power output, while the XUV400 delivers the highest torque and is the quickest from 0-100 km/h. In terms of range, the Curvv EV 55 variant is the most capable, offering up to 502 km. The Windsor Pro sits between the Nexon EV 45 (489 km) and Curvv EV 45 (430 km). However, the Windsor Pro takes the longest to charge fully via AC fast charging.
Pricing: Windsor Pro Tops Rivals in Cost
| Model | Price (₹ lakh, ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| MG Windsor | 14.00 – 17.50* |
| Tata Curvv EV | 17.49 – 22.24 |
| Tata Nexon EV | 12.49 – 17.19 |
| Mahindra XUV400 | 15.49 – 17.49 |
*Introductory pricing; Windsor Excite variant starts at ₹10 lakh with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS).
The Windsor Pro is currently priced higher than the top-end Nexon EV 45 and even the XUV400’s larger battery variant. The Curvv EV 45’s base model comes in just under the Windsor Pro’s introductory price but offers higher power and range.
Verdict
MG’s Windsor stands out for its interior space, large boot, and design that blends hatchback and MPV styling. While it doesn’t top the charts in performance or range, it does offer a compelling mix of practicality and refinement. The Curvv EV is ideal for those seeking power and premium features, while the Nexon EV provides strong value and the quickest charging. The XUV400 continues to appeal to those looking for strong performance on a budget.
