The new MG Windsor EV is the third electric vehicle from the global automotive brand. It has all the things you might want. Here is how our drive went

An almost 4.3-metre-long electric car from MG for under Rs 10 lakh? Well, that was definitely not on the cards when I opened my mobile phone that day. The new MG Windsor is the latest entrant in the electric space which is being bolstered by JSW MG Motor India with the Comet EV's success.

The Windsor EV is a badge-engineered Wuling Cloud EV, one that is old a broad, and it is a mix of a lot of things to look at from the outside. It has a soft, easy-on-the-eye type of styling, with a front end that slightly mimics the infamous Fiat Multipla with the rest of the portion resembling the first-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

The car gets a stubby bonnet up front, like its cousin, the Comet EV, and it opens up to reveal fluid holding tanks for the windscreen washer, the battery's coolant, and the brake fluid, apart from a bunch of wiring harnesses. A peek further down will reveal the 100-kW (136-hp) permanent magnet motor that powers the front wheels.
