The MG Windsor EV is one of the most talked about electric car in the market, thanks to the company’s one-of-its-kind battery rental scheme that made its debut along with the car. Apart from that, the Windsor is also being praised for its features & affordability. The same goes for Tata Curvv EV as well. The SUV coupe from Tata Motors is popular among auto enthusiasts for its unique styling. With the excitement around the Curvv EV still going strong, MG entering the arena with the Windsor EV has given buyers another option to consider. If you’re thinking about these two models and are feeling a bit unsure about which one to choose, you’ve come to the right place. Here, EVJoints brings you an in-depth comparison between the Curvv & the Windsor EV.
Battery & Range:
The MG Windsor EV comes with a 38 kWh battery pack. The Windsor EV’s range of 332 km is slightly on the lower side.
Tata Curvv EV comes in 2 battery options: 45 kWh & 55 kWh. The Curvv EV’s 45 kWh variant offers a range of 430 km. The 55 kWh variant has a range of 502 km. The Curvv EV’s range is sufficient for city & highway driving.
Battery Warranty Coverage:
The MG Windsor EV provides a lifetime warranty on the battery for the first owner and an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty for the second owner. For example, Raj buys a new MG Windsor EV and enjoys a lifetime battery warranty. When he sells the car to Priya after five years, she gets an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty on the battery from the purchase date.
The Tata Curvv EV matches this with an 8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty. Both models ensure peace of mind for EV owners, making them excellent choices in terms of battery reliability and support.
However, MG provides more extensive warranty coverage compared to Tata, making it a better option for battery reliability.
EV Charging:
The Windsor EV’s battery can be charged from 0-80% in 55 minutes using a 50 kW charger. With a 7 kW AC home charger, the battery can be fully charged in 6.5 hours.
The Curvv EV, with its 1.2C charging rate, can achieve a range of 150 km in just 15 minutes of charging.
With a 7 kW AC charger, the Curvv 45 kWh battery variant can go from 10-100% in 6.5 hours and the 55 kWh variant can do the same in 7.9 hours. Using a 60 kW EV CCS2 fast charger, the Curvv 45 kWh variant can go from 10-80% in 40 minutes. Using a 70 kW EV charger, the 55 kWh variant can do the same in 40 minutes.

Both the MG Windsor EV and Tata Curvv EV can be fast charged using CCS1 and CCS2 connectors, and slow charged using type 2 connectors at public charging stations. So, when you visit public charging stations to charge these cars, make sure the station has these connectors or plugs.
Interiors & Exteriors:
MG Windsor EV wins when it comes to interiors. Its rear seats are especially comfortable with plenty of legroom & headroom. Other positives include ventilated front seats, 135-degree lounge-like reclining rear seats, a panoramic glass roof & a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen.
When it comes to the exteriors, the Curvv EV wins (rather easily). The Curvv’s coupe-like sloping design has been highly appreciated. On the other hand, the Windsor EV’s design hasn’t found many admirers.
Pricing:
MG Windsor EV has been very competitively priced. BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) option is also available if you want to lower the acquisition cost from Rs 13.50 lakh to Rs 10 lakh. The Curvv EV is notably pricier than the Windsor EV. It starts from Rs 17.49 lakh (45 kWh) & Rs 19.25 lakh (55 kWh).
At a glance:
Conclusion:
While Tata Motors holds the lion’s share in India’s electric car market, MG has also grabbed a lot of attention in this space. After Tata Motors launched India’s first coupe design car, the Tata Curvv EV, MG surprised everyone with the Windsor EV.
The Curvv EV stands out with its design and higher battery capacity & range. However, it does come with a higher price tag. On the other hand, the Windsor EV offers impressive features and comes with a battery rental scheme which lowers its upfront price.
If you’re looking for a good-looking all-rounder, the Curvv is definitely worth considering. But if you’re on a budget, the Windsor is also a solid option that provides good value for money.
