Hyundai Alcazar vs MG Windsor EV: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Alcazar starts at ₹14.51L against the MG Windsor EV's ₹14.70L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.19L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.00L, where the Windsor EV tops out. Past that only the Alcazar has anything left to sell you, up to ₹21.10L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Alcazar seats 7, the Windsor EV 5.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Alcazar comes in petrol and diesel, the Windsor EV in electric.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the Alcazar Platinum (Diesel) at ₹18.96L or the Windsor EV Essence Pro at ₹19.00L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.04L more for the Windsor EV Essence Pro: tyre pressure monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call) and JBL system with Dolby Atmos. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (15.6" against 10.25") and vehicle-to-load (V2L). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Hyundai Alcazar seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Windsor EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Windsor EV Essence Pro: single-pane sunroof, ventilated front seats, speakers (9 against 8) and regenerative braking, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Windsor EV Essence Pro, you give up ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), blind spot monitor and dual-zone climate control, which the Alcazar Platinum (Diesel) keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Alcazar Platinum (Diesel) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.04L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the MG Windsor EV Essence Pro if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
