What the Essence Electric AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Essence Electric AT comes to ₹17,57,805 on the road in Aizawl and ₹19,72,180 in Patna.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,14,375 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price this variant in, 8 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 ₹17.15L ex-showroom this is the third of 6 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 Indulge Edition from here costs ₹74,000 more and changes none of the equipment we track, and opens up no engine the Essence cannot already be had with, so whatever separates them is something to see in person.

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?
- ₹17.15L, ex-showroom. That makes it 3rd of 6 by price, ₹1.00L above the Exclusive Electric AT.
- What is the on-road price of the MG Windsor EV Essence Electric AT?
- Expect ₹17,57,805 in Aizawl and ₹19,72,180 in Patna. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,14,375 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 17 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 maker's 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 features worth naming on this trim: Sunroof (Single-pane), Ventilated front seats, Premium sound system (Infinity by Harman), 360° camera, Ambient lighting and Connected car tech.
- 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 answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
