Now, MG has branded this vehicle as a CUV, though I'm still not entirely certain what the ‘C’ stands for. However, from what I’ve gathered, MG is aiming to carve out a new niche for itself, calling this model a ‘Crossover Utility Vehicle.’ It's an interesting label, but when you take a look at the Windsor, the crossover elements are clear in its design and stance. The vehicle profile, with its sleek lines and subtle ruggedness, gives it that halfway point between an SUV and a hatchback — a true crossover in every sense.
From the moment I saw the car, it became apparent that they was aiming for a bold new direction. The vehicle’s styling is more of an urban terrain with the practicality of a larger utility vehicle. It’s clearly trying to stand apart from the crowded crossover market, offering something fresh. Whether it succeeds in establishing its own category remains to be seen, but it certainly makes a compelling first impression.
Starting with the drive. We ventured out to the outskirts of Gurgaon, a rapidly evolving cyber city with glass towers and futuristic infrastructure. In this setting, the car feels right at home. In fact, if you were to ask someone to sketch a car of the future, there’s a good chance they’d come up with something resembling the car’s design. It’s the sort of vehicle that looks like it could be self-driving, with just one thing missing — a steering wheel.
Take that away, and you’ve got a car straight out of a sci-fi movie. But for now, behind the wheel, you get to enjoy the drive.
