Features

• The MG Windsor EV has larger 18-inch alloy wheels and flush-type door handles, while the Tata Nexon EV has 16-inch alloy wheels.

• Both the electric offerings here have leatherette upholstery, but the Windsor EV features a black interior theme, while the Nexon EV's interior colour varies depending on the variant selected.

• The Windsor EV includes a panoramic glass roof, while the Nexon EV has a single-pane sunroof.

• The Windsor EV features a 15.6-inch touchscreen, while the Nexon EV has a slightly smaller 12.3-inch touchscreen. Both models get a digital display for instrumentation, but it’s the Nexon here that has the bigger unit between the two. That said, both MG and Tata are offering their EVs with a 9-speaker audio system.

• The safety suite of both EVs is similar with 6 airbags (as standard), all-four disc brakes, a 360-degree camera and an electronic parking brake. 

Which EV To Buy?

The MG Windsor EV is a new competitor in the market, priced attractively compared to the Tata Nexon EV, which is one of its prime rivals. However, it comes with a battery rental fee of Rs 3.5 per km, requiring a minimum charge for 1,500 km. This cost can vary based on your driving habits and does not include additional charging expenses.

On the upside, MG offers an unlimited km/year warranty on the battery, making the Windsor EV worth a consideration. In contrast, the Nexon EV provides an 8-year or 1.6 lakh km warranty. Note that the lifetime battery warranty for the Windsor is only valid for the first owner, while the second owner gets a standard 8-year or 1.6 lakh km warranty. 

The Windsor EV is also a larger car and hence offers a more spacious cabin than the Nexon EV, with a well-appointed interior. It features a 15.6-inch touchscreen and 135-degree reclining rear seats, making it a great choice for those seeking a feature-rich and a comfort-driven EV on a budget.

On the other hand, the Tata Nexon EV’s strengths are its well-rounded features and the choice of two battery packs to suit different customer needs. If you're looking for an EV having compact dimensions, packs a lot of premium features, offers a smoother ride experience, and has a claimed range of over 300 km, the Nexon EV does fit the bill well.
