What the Essence Electric AT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Essence Electric AT comes to ₹17,42,655 on the road in Aizawl and ₹19,55,155 in Patna.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,12,500 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 21 states we can price this variant in, 13 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar comes out highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹17.00L ex-showroom Delhi this is the third of 5 Windsor EV variants by price, ₹1.00L above the Exclusive Electric AT. Essence is sold this one way, as the Electric single-speed automatic. Stepping up to Exclusive Pro from here starts at ₹90,000 more and adds no equipment we track and gives up single-pane sunroof, so it is really about the 52.9 kWh Electric it opens up. Worth knowing that the Exclusive Pro is not sold with the Electric with the single-speed automatic, so the move changes the powertrain too.

The comfort crown of the 38 kWh car: fixed glass roof, ventilated front seats, 256-colour ambient light and the 9-speaker Infinity system.
MG Windsor EV Essence: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the MG Windsor EV Essence Electric AT?
- ₹17.00L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 3rd of 5 by price, ₹1.00L above the Exclusive Electric AT.
- What is the on-road price of the MG Windsor EV Essence Electric AT?
- Expect ₹17,42,655 in Aizawl and ₹19,55,155 in Patna. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,12,500 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 21 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the MG Windsor EV Essence Electric AT have?
- The Electric, 136 PS, with the single-speed automatic. The maker's figure for it is 8.7 km/kWh.
- What mileage does the MG Windsor EV Essence Electric AT really return?
- 2 independent publishers have measured it at around 6 to 8.5 km/kWh. The certified figure is 8.7 km/kWh, so plan your running costs on the measured range rather than on that. It swings a long way with how and where you drive, so treat the bottom of that range as the honest planning figure.
- What features does the MG Windsor EV Essence Electric AT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Sunroof (Single-pane), Ventilated front seats, Premium sound system (Infinity by Harman), 360° camera, Rear parking camera and Ambient lighting.
- Is the Essence the right Windsor EV to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our MG Windsor EV which-variant page. The short version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
