Which EV To Buy?

The Mahindra XUV400 EV is a strong player in the electric vehicle market, offering a good mix of features and practicality. Its design is attractive and relevant, with a cabin focused on comfort and space. It also has a more powerful electric motor than the Windsor EV and a better claimed range, so you won't need to charge as often. Plus, Mahindra has more after-sales service centres than MG, ensuring better customer support.

The MG Windsor EV is an affordable alternative to the Mahindra XUV400 EV, starting at Rs 9.99 lakh. It offers a battery rental option for Rs 5.8 per km, with a minimum billing charge for 1,500 km. Costs may vary based on your driving habits, excluding additional charging expenses. MG provides an unlimited km warranty on the battery, which is only for the first owner. If you prefer not to rent the battery, you can buy the car outright, and its price is still lower than the XUV400. The Windsor EV is larger, providing a more spacious cabin, complete with a 15.6-inch touchscreen and 135-degree reclining rear seats, perfect for those prioritising comfort and features.
