Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.71L more for the Windsor EV Essence Pro: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and tyre pressure monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (15.6" against 12.3") and vehicle-to-load (V2L). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Mahindra XUV 7XO 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 XUV 7XO AX5 is the strongest of the two at 185 PS
- Also on the Windsor EV Essence Pro: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos, ventilated front seats and 6-way powered driver seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX5 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.71L 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
