MENTAL PEACE WITH DIFFICULT MATHEMATICS

It is rare when you are called for a car event, and you are more interested in the ownership attributes of the car than the car itself.

MENTAL PEACE WITH DIFFICULT MATHEMATICS

MG WINDSOR 13.5 Lakh - 15.5 Lakh (ex-showroom)

I mean yes, you are interested in what it is like to drive, but what made us anticipate the vehicle a lot more was a very unique feature of running the vehicle. Honestly, I thought that they were trying to ease the value of the vehicle to the masses. Brands do this to hide the real value of the vehicle and get the headlines. But honestly, once I got to know the real prices I was really not that offended—kind of unnecessary. Nonetheless, the BaaS system does make sense in more ways than I thought, this might just be the ingenious solution that lets people tip over or access the EV lifestyle.

This is the story of the MG Windsor, that came down from the “Cloud” and wants to take on India!

OVERVIEW

The MG Windsor EV is called a CUV or Crossover Utility Vehicle. Well, it doesn’t look very Crossover… Rather it reminds me of those ‘Soccer Mom’ cars we see in old US movies. It is big, a lot bigger than you think it shows itself in photos. The front end looks pretty good and regardless of what you say, it has the ability to stand out in the crowd. A lot of space inside for you to make a little home out for yourself, and overcompensate with tech so that you know that you are driving the latest car. However, if you do overlook the overcompensation, you will see that the car is pretty good to drive and it will answer the question or even create the argument that, do you really need an EV SUV?

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE

Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
