India’s EV segment continues to expand with new and exciting launches. Two major contenders in 2025 are the MG Windsor EV Pro, a premium urban EV with updated tech and comfort, and the Mahindra BE 6, a bold, performance-oriented electric SUV with a futuristic design. Here’s a detailed comparison across pricing, design, features, and performance to help you decide which one suits you best.
Pricing and variants
The MG Windsor EV Pro (Essence Pro variant) is priced at ₹17.50 lakh (ex-showroom) with the battery included, and ₹12.50 lakh under the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, where users pay ₹4.5 per km as a battery subscription. It is the most premium trim in the Windsor lineup.
In contrast, the Mahindra BE 6 starts at ₹18.90 lakh and goes up to ₹26.90 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it firmly in the mid-to-high EV SUV segment. It offers multiple trims and configurations, with the top-end model packing advanced performance and technology.
Battery and range
The MG Windsor EV Pro gets a significant upgrade with a 52.9 kWh battery, offering a claimed range of 449 km. While it retains the same 136 PS power output and 200 Nm of torque, the enhanced battery makes it ideal for longer city commutes and occasional highway trips.
The Mahindra BE 6 steps things up with 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options, delivering an impressive MIDC-claimed range of up to 682 km. It also supports ultra-fast charging (20–80% in 20 minutes via a 175 kW charger), making it a clear winner for long-distance driving and road trip potential.
Design and styling
The Windsor EV Pro builds on its existing design with subtle exterior updates. It now offers three new paint shades—Celadon Blue, Glaze Red, and Aurora Silver—and new dual-tone 18-inch alloy wheels. While overall styling remains minimalistic, it exudes a modern EV charm. The cabin now features an Ivory leatherette interior, offering a brighter and more premium ambiance.
The BE 6, however, takes a bolder approach. It boasts C-shaped LED DRLs, a sloping coupe-like roofline, and a futuristic, almost concept-like aesthetic. Inside, it features a dual-screen setup, a backlit twin-spoke steering wheel, and a well-crafted cabin with premium textures and ambient lighting.
Features and technology
MG has packed the Windsor EV Pro with updates, including:
- 15.6-inch floating infotainment system
- ADAS Level-2 features like lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging capability
- Ventilated front seats, 360-degree camera, wireless charging, and 9-speaker Infinity audio system
The Mahindra BE 6 offers a tech-forward cabin as well, with:
- Large dual digital displays
- 16-speaker Harman Kardon system
- OTA updates, panoramic sunroof, drive modes
- Level-2 ADAS suite, including auto park assist, 7 airbags, and 360-degree camera
While both are well-equipped, the BE 6 edges ahead with more immersive multimedia and powertrain-focused features.
Performance and driving experience
- The MG Windsor EV Pro is powered by a single front-mounted motor delivering 136 PS and 200 Nm, tuned for city-friendly, refined driving. It’s smooth and efficient but not built for aggressive acceleration.
- The BE 6, on the other hand, offers up to 281 bhp, and can sprint from 0–100 kmph in just 6.7 seconds. Its rear-wheel drive setup enhances handling dynamics, especially on open roads.
Conclusion
- Choose the MG Windsor EV Pro if you want a feature-rich, urban-friendly electric SUV with solid range, comfort upgrades, and a competitive price under ₹18 lakh.
- Choose the Mahindra BE 6 if you’re looking for powerful performance, striking design, longer range, and you don’t mind spending a bit more for a bold EV statement.
Both models reflect how India’s EV space is evolving quickly, giving buyers plenty of premium, future-ready choices.
