Maruti Suzuki e Vitara vs MG Windsor EV: which should you buy?
The MG Windsor EV starts at ₹14.70L against the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara's ₹15.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.29L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.00L, where the Windsor EV tops out. Past that only the e Vitara has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.79L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the e Vitara Zeta at ₹17.49L or the Windsor EV Essence Pro at ₹19.00L, the e Vitara leaving ₹1.51L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.51L more for the Windsor EV Essence Pro: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and all-wheel disc brakes. The useful extras on top: hill descent control and touchscreen (15.6" against 10.1"). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The e Vitara Zeta is the strongest of the two at 174 PS
- Also on the Windsor EV Essence Pro: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos, single-pane sunroof and ventilated front seats, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Windsor EV Essence Pro, you give up airbags (7 against 6), front parking sensors and driver display (10.25" digital against 7" digital), which the e Vitara Zeta keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Zeta if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.51L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the MG Windsor EV Essence Pro if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
