Design: Premium Looks at a Budget.
If you park the MG Windsor Exclusive Pro Base Variant side-by-side with the Essence Pro, it will be very difficult for you to spot the differences. Both get flush door handles, stylish 18-inch alloys, all-LED lighting, illuminated MG logo, glass antenna, chrome accents, and even cornering lights, which means there is no compromise on the exterior styling.
MG Windsor Exclusive Pro Base Variant Interior.
Inside the cabin, too, premium gold highlights can be seen along with dual-tone Ivory interiors, which give a rich feel.
In this you will get:
- Leatherette upholstery and leatherette pack
- Bad 15.6-inch infotainment screen with 9 speakers
- Premium Aero-Lounge rear seats
- 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster
- 6-way electric driver seat adjustment
- Wireless charger, keyless go, auto up/down windows (all 4)
- 6 airbags, 360° camera, TPMS, auto-dimming IRVM, and electronic parking brake
Despite being a base variant, the features are quite premium, justifying its “Pro” tag.
Feature Difference: What’s Missing?
But now let’s talk about what is missing in the MG Windsor Exclusive Pro Base Variant that is offered in the Essence Pro.
In this, you do not get Infinity View glass roof, ventilated front seats, PM 2.5 filter, 256-color ambient lighting, powered tailgate, and game-changing V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) functionalities.
And yes, the biggest difference is the 12 ADAS features, which are available only in the Essence Pro. Talking about the price, the Essence Pro is priced at ₹ 18.31 lakh, while the Exclusive Pro is available for just ₹ 17.25 lakh – that is, a difference of almost ₹ 1.06 lakh!
MG Windsor Exclusive Pro Base Variant Performance.
Talking about the powertrain, MG has not made any cuts here. The Windsor Exclusive Pro Variant also gets the same 52.9 kWh battery pack that offers a claimed range of 449 km.
The motor output is also the same – 136 PS power and 200 Nm torque, which drives the front wheels. This means performance-wise, you will not see any compromise; only a few features are different.
Best Balance of Price & Features?
So, is the MG Windsor Exclusive Pro Base Variant the perfect value-for-money EV for you? If you don’t need features like ADAS or a glass roof, then you are getting almost the same luxury feel and the same performance by saving ₹1.06 lakh.
With this Exclusive Pro variant of Windsor, MG has impressed everyone by launching another affordable premium offering in the Indian EV market. Will you consider it?
