Best fits include: Buyers who want the cheapest way into India's best-selling electric car — the Excite opens the Windsor range at about ₹14.70 lakh ex-showroom, against ₹19 lakh for the 52.9 kWh Essence Pro, City and suburban families — a 38 kWh battery claimed at 332 km, a 604-litre boot, 186 mm of ground clearance and the same 4,295 mm body as the rest of the range, and Buyers who care about safety kit more than luxuries — six airbags, ESC, TPMS, hill assist and hill descent control are standard on the base trim.
The main caveats are these: CarDekho publishes two different DC figures on the same page — 45 kW for 0-80% in 45 minutes in the powertrain block, and 50 kW for 0-80% in 55 minutes in the charging block, with a 55 kW charger listed among the charging options. Confirm the charging speed at the dealer; This is the base trim: a 10.1-inch screen with four speakers, fabric seats, 17-inch wheels with covers rather than alloys, a rear camera and rear sensors only, and no sunroof, ventilated seats, wireless charger or powered driver's seat; There is no ADAS at any price on the Windsor and no vehicle-to-load — V2L and V2V are fitted only to the top Essence Pro; and No Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP result has been published for the Windsor EV, and neither CarDekho nor MG's India site states the battery warranty terms for this variant, so both are left out here rather than guessed.
