As India’s electric vehicle market continues to evolve rapidly, buyers now have the luxury of choosing between several compelling EVs under ₹20 lakh. Two major contenders in this space in 2025 are the MG Windsor EV Pro and the Tata Curvv EV. While MG’s offering is a value-rich, tech-laden SUV with a premium lounge feel, Tata’s Curvv EV takes a sportier and more futuristic design approach with a coupe-like silhouette and long range capabilities.
Let’s dive into their differences to help you decide which one is the right electric SUV for you.
Price & positioning
The MG Windsor EV Pro starts at an introductory price of ₹12.49 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable long-range EVs with ADAS and premium creature comforts. It aims to democratize high-end EV features for the mass market.
In contrast, the Tata Curvv EV, while not officially priced yet, is expected to sit in the ₹15-20 lakh bracket. It’s positioned as a more futuristic, style-focused SUV and is based on Tata’s Gen 2 EV architecture.
So, if price is your top consideration and you want maximum features for your budget, the Windsor EV Pro offers incredible value.
Battery, power & range
The Windsor EV Pro features a 52.9 kWh battery with a claimed range of 449 km. It is powered by a single electric motor generating 136 PS and 200 Nm of torque. While it focuses more on efficiency and everyday usability, the real-world range is expected to be quite reliable due to its moderate output.
Meanwhile, the Tata Curvv EV comes with two battery pack options — a 45 kWh version offering a claimed 430 km range, and a 55 kWh model with a claimed 502 km range. It delivers 165 bhp (123 kW) and 215 Nm of torque, making it more powerful and quicker in comparison. The Curvv EV also gets multiple charging options including a 7.2 kW wall box and 70 kW DC fast charging.
So, for longer highway drives and better performance, the Tata Curvv takes the lead. However, Windsor’s efficiency-oriented setup offers great range for city dwellers and daily commuters.
Design & road presence
Design-wise, the Tata Curvv EV breaks away from the typical SUV mold with a sloping coupe roofline, animated lighting signatures, aerodynamic alloy wheels, and flush door handles with backlighting. It’s a bold and futuristic approach aimed at younger buyers who value style and presence.
The MG Windsor EV Pro, on the other hand, follows a more practical and premium SUV design language. Updates in this Pro version include three new colour options (Celadon Blue, Glaze Red, Aurora Silver), new dual-tone alloy wheels, and a sleek LED light bar with illuminated MG logo. It retains a clean and classy silhouette, with added flair in the interior colour palette — now featuring an Ivory leatherette theme for a more luxurious cabin experience.
Choose the Curvv EV if you want to stand out with a coupe-like shape; opt for Windsor EV Pro for elegance and functionality.
Features & tech
Both vehicles come loaded with next-gen features, but with slight variations in execution.
The MG Windsor EV Pro offers:
- A 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 8.8-inch digital driver’s display
- Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) tech
- 360-degree camera, wireless charging, ventilated seats
- ADAS Level-2 with multiple safety assists
- Panoramic glass roof and ambient lighting
The Tata Curvv EV, too, brings a high-tech cabin experience:
- 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster
- Panoramic sunroof
- Multi-colour ambient lighting
- Level-2 ADAS features including lane assist, collision avoidance
- Illuminated Tata logo on a unique four-spoke steering wheel
While both EVs are feature-packed, MG edges out Tata with additional creature comforts like V2L/V2V, powered tailgate, and reclining rear seats — especially considering the price point.
Safety & build
In terms of safety, both EVs include ADAS Level-2 tech, multiple airbags, ESC, TPMS, and 360-degree cameras. However, Tata has a proven track record for strong safety ratings in crash tests — which could translate to the Curvv EV as well.
The Windsor EV Pro, meanwhile, includes comprehensive safety hardware and a tech-rich suite, although it lacks official crash test ratings as of now.
To sum up,
If you’re looking for a stylish and futuristic SUV with strong power delivery and up to 502 km of range, the Tata Curvv EV offers unmatched road presence and electric performance. It’s the ideal choice for highway users, premium EV seekers, and early adopters who want a statement-making design.
But if your priorities include value for money, comfort-focused interiors, practicality, and cutting-edge features under ₹13 lakh, the MG Windsor EV Pro delivers big on every front. It’s perfect for city usage, family needs, and those entering the EV space for the first time.
