AN ELECTRIC CAR MADE FOR CITY AND HIGHWAYS, WITH OVER 400 KM ON SINGLE CHARGE, BUT FEELS TECH-CESSIVE

- VIKRAM CHAUDHARY

THE MG WINDSOR is a great city car, but its 38-kWh battery (with 250-300 km range) means you cannot drive it for long distances without having range anxiety.

Enter the Windsor Pro. With a 52.9-kWh battery (449 km), it feels like all the car you ever need. I tested it on mountain roads (Guwahati to Shillong), which can take the juice out of any EV. How did this EV fare?

How's the design?

Barring the ADAS badge, new shades of blue, silver and red, and a different wheel design, it looks similar to the 38-kWh battery variant.

MG calls it CUV (crossover utility vehicle), which combines features of a hatchback, a sedan, and an SUV.

How's the cabin?

It has a wheelbase of 2,700 mm, and a huge cabin. The glass roof further enhances the feeling of space.
