BHPian astro_adi7 recently shared this with other enthusiasts: My family and I visited the Lavelle Road showroom over the weekend to check out the Windsor EV. We’ve been in the market to replace our Honda Jazz, which we sold last week, with an EV commuter. Since both my wife and I work from home, our primary need is a chauffeur-driven car for school runs-about 40 kilometers per day with a minimum of 2 hours of travel time. We also need it for the occasional trip into central Bangalore. Our top priorities are operating costs and rear passenger comfort. The Windsor EV seems to check both boxes perfectly. We liked the car on paper, booked it last week, and this showroom visit confirmed our decision. The only thing left is a test drive to assess the ride comfort. Here are our initial thoughts on the car:It’s larger in person than it appears in pictures.There’s ample space in both the front and rear seats.The seats are extremely comfortable, with a plush, premium feel.Three adults can fit comfortably in the back. While it’s not as spacious as the XUV700 in terms of width, it offers more room than any other mini SUV on the market.The lack of buttons doesn’t bother me since most settings are “set and forget,” but I hope MG provides a robust remote app for controlling settings from the back seat.The glass roof is a big selling point for my wife, and it’s heavily tinted, which should help with the summer heat. We don’t mind a bit of Bangalore sun and usually drive with the shade off most of the time.The car looks premium in pearl white, even without any added external accessories.The Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option seems gimmicky to me. The price of the car is reasonable enough to consider purchasing it outright rather than dealing with battery rental.I’m a bit concerned about home charging equipment, power loads, and BESCOM approvals since this is my first EV experience, and I’m new to all of this.Some pictures to close out the post.
