2024 MG Windsor EV: Variants explained. Which variant to go for

3 months ago | 36 Views

MG has announced the price list for the Windsor EV. While the MG Windsor EV was earlier launched at 9.99 lakh with battery as a service (BaaS) option, now the company announced the outright purchase prices for the electric vehicle. Meanwhile, without the BaaS option, the MG Windsor EV starts at 13.50 lakh. 

With the BaaS option consumers would have to pay a usage charge of 3.5 per km, in effect renting the battery. This presents an interesting balance between lower initial ownership costs and ongoing battery usage expenses.

The base-spec Windsor EV lays a good foundation for what's essentially expected, while the middle-spec brings in a whole bunch of niceties that bring considerable joy to the drive. The top-spec variant adds only four features on paper, but these additions make a fair deal of difference by way of dialling up the cabin's ambiance and overall refinement.

MG Windsor EV: Excite

The MG Windsor EV's base-spec variant, Excite, is priced at 13.50 lakh, ex-showroom. Meanwhile if customers are willing for BaaS, the price of the base variant comes down to 9.99 lakh. Even at that price point, the Excite variant offers a comprehensive range of features. 

The Windsor EV from the base spec itself gets LED projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and 17-inch wheels. However, these are steel wheels with covers. The exterior design is further enhanced by flush door handles. Inside, the cabin features fabric seats and a 60:40 split rear seat. The infotainment system is a 10.1-inch touchscreen unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Steering-mounted audio controls, multiple USB ports and a 12V power outlet are also available.

It further gets rear AC vents for rear passengers. The rear seat can be reclined for added comfort. A 7-inch digital driver display provides essential information. Keyless entry and automatic climate control add to the convenience. Safety features include cruise control, hill-start and hill-descent assist, six airbags, all-disc brakes, an electronic parking brake, electronic stability control, auto headlamps, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and rain-sensing wipers.

MG Windsor EV: Exclusive

The Exclusive variant of the MG Windsor EV builds upon the Excite variant and its prices at 14.50 lakh. It comes with an array of premium features. The MG Windsor EV Exclusive boasts 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, smart flush door handles, leather seats and soft-touch finish on the dashboard and door pads. 

The cabin further gets a larger 15.6 inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8.8 inch digital driver display, six way adjustable power driver seats as well along with a wireless phone charger. The MG Windsor EV Exclusive variant also gets auto-folding ORVMs, a rear centre armrest with cup holders, a 360-degree camera, LED cornering lights, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an auto-dimming IRVM, a rear defogger and connected car technology.

MG Windsor EV: Essence

The top of the line MG Windsor EV Essence is priced at 15.50 lakh and offers several enhancements over the Exclusive trim. It features multi-color ambient lighting to create a customizable interior atmosphere, a premium nine speaker Infinity audio system, a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats and an air purifier for improved air quality within the cabin.
