As India’s electric vehicle (EV) market accelerates, two models are generating buzz: the Tata Punch EV and the MG Windsor EV (note: the MG Windsor EV isn’t currently available; this comparison focuses on MG’s existing Windsor EV). Both cater to urban buyers seeking stylish, eco-friendly rides, but they target different niches. Let’s dive into how these EVs stack up.
Design & Dimensions: City Car vs Micro SUV
Tata Punch EV
Built on Tata’s Gen 2 EV architecture, the Punch EV inherits the rugged, SUV-like design of its ICE sibling. It boasts a high ground clearance (187 mm), muscular cladding, and a bold front grille with EV-specific tweaks like blue accents. Its 3,827 mm length and 1,742 mm width make it a compact yet practical micro SUV.
MG Windsor EV
The Windsor EV is a quirky, futuristic city car with a tiny footprint (2,974 mm length). Its boxy design, split headlights, and dual-tone colors scream urban chic. However, its 2+2 seating and narrow body prioritize maneuverability over space, ideal for crowded streets.
Verdict: The Punch EV suits those wanting SUV versatility; the Windsor is for minimalist city commuters.
Interior & Features: Tech Showdown
Tata Punch EV
The Punch EV’s cabin mirrors the Nexon EV with a 7-inch digital cluster, 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto/Apple Car Play, and ventilated seats (in higher trims). It also packs premium features like wireless charging, air purifier, and a 7-speaker JBL system. Rear seats and 366L boot add practicality.
MG Windsor EV
The Windsor’s minimalist interior features dual 10.25-inch screens (digital console + infotainment), quirky toggle switches, and sustainable materials. While tech-savvy, its tiny back seats and limited storage (just 92L) prioritize solo or duo riders.
Verdict: Punch EV wins on space and family-friendliness; Windsor appeals to tech-first urbanites.
Performance & Range: MG Windsor EV vs Tata Punch EV
Tata Punch EV
The Punch EV offers two battery options:
Standard: 25 kWh (~315 km range)
Long Range: 35 kWh (~421 km range)
Power ranges from 80–120 BHP, with fast charging (0–80% in 56 mins) and multiple drive modes.
MG Windsor EV
Equipped with a 17.3 kWh battery, the Windsor delivers 230 km (MIDC) and 42 BHP. It’s strictly a city commuter with a top speed of 100 km/h and 7-hour charging (0–100% via AC).
Verdict: Punch EV dominates with longer range and versatility; Windsor is a niche city runabout.
Safety & Warranty
Tata Punch EV: 5-star GNCAP-rated (ICE version), with 6 airbags, ESP, and hill-hold assist.
MG Windsor EV: 2 airbags (base variant), ABS, and rear parking sensors.
Warranty: Both offer 8-year battery warranties.
Price
- Tata Punch EV: ₹10.99 lakh – ₹15.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
MG Windsor EV: ₹7.98 lakh – ₹9.98 lakh (ex-showroom)
