As electric vehicles continue to dominate the Indian auto landscape, MG Motor has positioned itself strongly with two distinct EV offerings — the newly launched MG Windsor EV Pro and the popular MG ZS EV. But how do these two electric SUVs stack up against each other? Here’s a side-by-side comparison based on pricing, battery, range, features, and design.
The MG Windsor EV Pro is aggressively priced at ₹12.49 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable electric SUVs in its category. It offers high-end features while staying below ₹15 lakh.
On the other hand, the MG ZS EV starts from ₹16.48 lakh and goes up to ₹23.70 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant. It targets a more premium buyer base and competes with ICE SUVs like the Jeep Compass and Tata Harrier.
If you're budget-conscious and want value for money, the Windsor EV Pro is your go-to. If premium feel and higher specs are your priority, the ZS EV is worth a look.
Battery, range, and performance
The Windsor EV Pro gets a new 52.9 kWh battery pack, offering a claimed range of 449 km. It’s powered by a single motor producing 136 PS and 200 Nm of torque. While it’s tuned more for efficiency than performance, it delivers more than enough punch for daily drives.
In comparison, the MG ZS EV comes with a 50.3 kWh battery, a slightly smaller unit but manages to deliver a higher claimed range of 461 km. It’s more performance-focused, offering 173 bhp and 280 Nm of torque, making it more responsive and quick off the line.
ZS EV wins on power and slightly better range. But Windsor EV Pro offers a larger battery and better efficiency for the price.

The MG Windsor EV Pro packs in big features at a relatively low price:
- 15.6-inch floating infotainment touchscreen

- Windsor looks funkier and more youthful, ZS EV has a mature, premium appeal.
Safety features
Both EVs come well-equipped in terms of safety. However, ADAS features are standard on the Windsor EV Pro, while only top ZS EV trims offer them.
Windsor EV Pro safety:
- ADAS Level 2 (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, etc.)
- 6 airbags

ZS EV safety:

The Windsor EV Pro offers more safety tech across all variants, but the ZS EV brings global crash-test credibility.
