They run together up to ₹19.00L, where the Windsor EV tops out. Past that only the Scorpio-N has anything left to sell you, up to ₹24.95L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Scorpio-N seats 7, the Windsor EV 5.

Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the Scorpio-N Z8 Select at ₹18.69L or the Windsor EV Essence Pro at ₹19.00L, the Scorpio-N leaving ₹0.31L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.31L more for the Windsor EV Essence Pro: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and all-wheel disc brakes. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (15.6" against 8") and vehicle-to-load (V2L). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Mahindra Scorpio-N seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Windsor EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- The Scorpio-N Z8 Select is the strongest of the two at 203 PS
- Also on the Windsor EV Essence Pro: tyre pressure monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos and ventilated front seats, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8 Select if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.31L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the MG Windsor EV Essence Pro if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
