MG Windsor EV vs Tata Safari: which should you buy?
The Tata Safari starts at ₹13.40L against the MG Windsor EV's ₹14.70L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.30L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.00L, where the Windsor EV tops out. Past that only the Safari has anything left to sell you, up to ₹26.76L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Safari seats 7, the Windsor EV 5.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Windsor EV comes in electric, the Safari in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the Windsor EV Essence Pro at ₹19.00L or the Safari Pure X at ₹17.91L, the Safari leaving ₹1.09L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.09L more for the Windsor EV Essence Pro: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: hill descent control and touchscreen (15.6" against 10.25"). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Tata Safari 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 Safari Pure X is the strongest of the two at 170 PS
- Also on the Windsor EV Essence Pro: JBL system with Dolby Atmos, single-pane sunroof, ventilated front seats and connected car tech, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Tata Safari Pure X if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.09L 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
