The MG's agenda with the Windsor has been clear from the start, disruption. Not just in the way it carries its unconventional design, not even in the way the interiors push our understanding of what the C-segment looks like but also in how we buy and own our cars. JSW MG Motor India management outlined the 'A-B-Cs' of the Windsor in the run-up to the drive saying that it has the price tag from an A-segment car, the footprint of a Bsegment car, and the comfort and space of a C-segment car, the utility of an SUV and the comfort of a sedan. And in that vote of confidence gave their newest contender some tremendous boots to fill. Naturally, we had to find out if this envelope-pushing electric Crossover Utility Vehicle lived up.
Like it or hate it, the MG Windsor will not be ignored. It's hard to get a sense of the proportions of the MG Windsor in pictures, but this otherwise unobjectionable design does a tremendous job of masking the sheer size of the Windsor. Even we only really got a sense of it when we lined up alongside our MG Hector tracking car to see that the Windsor were almost identical in terms of their footprint.
It's not a conventional shape either, it's something between a mini-van and crossover but that too serves a purpose in making the MG Windsor cut through the air smoothly with aerodynamics governing the flow of the pillars. The front is centred by an illuminated MG badge, which instantly declares the premium intent of the Windsor. There's an LED DRL that runs along the front and the headlights are inset in the bulbous pedestrian-safe bumpers.
