The full story
The Windsor EV base model is the Excite, from ₹14.85L ex-showroom; the top model is the Essence Pro, from ₹19.15L. That is ₹4.30L more.
The Essence Pro adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera, Infinity by Harman premium sound system and single-pane sunroof, and 16 more over the Excite.
4 trims sit between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
The best value for money on this ladder is the step into the Exclusive, not the jump to the top; above it the Essence Pro adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, speakers (9 against 6) and Infinity by Harman premium sound system, and 4 more for the rest of the money.
