MG Motors is about to launch the Windsor EV in the Indian market where it will rival the mega-popular Tata Nexon EV.
In this post, we shall compare the MG Windsor EV and Tata Nexon EV with the available details. The EV industry is gaining momentum in India rapidly. We know that Tata Motors is the uncontested market leader in this space. Tata Nexon EV is the highest-selling EV in the country. People have really taken a liking to electric cars from Tata Motors. The Indian auto giant leveraged the popularity of its ICE cars and launched electric iterations of the same. Hence, the sales skyrocketed and it went ahead of every other car company. Everyone else is playing catch-up. On the other hand, MG also has two EVs in our market – ZS EV and Comet EV. Now, it plans to launch the Windsor EV. Let us take a look at the details of this comparison.
MG Windsor EV vs Tata Nexon EV – Specs
While there are no official reports confirming the specifications of the upcoming MG Windsor EV, we know that it is the same car as the Wuling Cloud EV sold in international markets. In India, it will be on sale under the MG banner. But the design and specs will most likely be the same. Hence, we can expect two battery pack options – 37.9 kWh or 50.6 kWh offering a range of around 360 km and 460 km, respectively. It will get a 7 kW AC charger as standard. More details will emerge at a later stage.
On the other hand, even the Tata Nexon EV comes in two variants – 30.2 kWh (MR) and 40.5 kWh (LR). The range figures for these are 325 km and 465 km, respectively. The power and torque figures range from 127 hp / 215 Nm to 143 hp / 215 Nm, respectively. Charging the Nexon EV from 10% to 100% takes 56 minutes and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in just 8.9 seconds. With a 350-litre boot compartment, the buyers will have enough space to carry a family around.
