Nexon EV 45 vs. Windsor EV Pro:
Drivetrain, Comfort & Space.
We are comparing the top models because we wanna focus mainly on the drivertrain, comfort and space on both.
Design & Space
Both are handsome looking cars in my opinion but the Nexon is more conventional with its compact SUV stance while the Windsor with the Monovolume shape can be odd looking to some. It of course looks like a MPV but manages to stand out and look classy on the road.
The Nexon Reality
The Nexon is built on a heavily modified ICE chassis (the X1) so carries over its limitation as well. While Tata will call it a completely different platform underneath, the space and hard points for the suspension and tires are almost the same. The Nexon EV’s floor is higher than the regular Nexon ICE meaning that taller occupants will have some problem at the back, though the seats themselves are better contoured on the Nexon.
The Windsor Advantage
The Windsor is a much bigger car than the Nexon (over 300mm longer) and the wheelbase is also longer meaning that there is loads of space inside. The rear headroom and kneeroom are significantly better, and the bigger glasshouse means that you get a fantastic sense of space inside. The boot is also significantly bigger in the Windsor. However, while the Windsor seats do look cool, they can create pressure points when you sit for longer durations.
Features & Ergonomics
Both the Windsor and Nexon come packed with features - ADAS, big touchscreen, V2L, V2V, ventilated front seats etc. The Windsor gets flush door handles as well as reclining rear seats which do add to the comfort a lot while the Nexon gets a spare wheel which the Windsor does not.
The problem with the Nexon is that the interior is too similar to the Nexon ICE (save the bigger screen) meaning that it doesn’t justify the price fully. That coupled with the fit and finish issue sometimes with Tata cars can put some people off.
The Windsor Touchscreen Issue
Personally, the lack of any physical buttons on the Windsor is very infuriating. Everything is done through the large touchscreen which is very slow at the first place. Changing regen, controlling side mirrors—minor things like this are done through the touchscreen which are not intuitive to use as well. Giving anyone the key would have to involve a 1 hour tutorial on the touchscreen. This is a major turn off for the Windsor as tech handicapped people will give up using some features rather than try to learn them.
HVAC Reality: The MG while does enjoy the bigger glasshouse but the HVAC on it is not very effective working much harder to keep the cabin cool which might be an issue if you are in regions with high heat.
Powertrain & Ride
The Nexon delivers 143 PS of power and 215 NM of torque while it tops at a 45kwh battery pack with a MIDC range of 489km. The Windsor EV Pro with a 52.9 kwh battery delivers 130PS and 200NM of torque with a claimed MIDC range of 449km.
The Nexon will be very slightly quicker but the performance will be more or less the same. The Nexon does have higher claimed range but real world range will be again +- 20km in both. The Windsor being the bigger car does provide less efficiency as compared to the Nexon per Kwh.
Suspension & Handling
Both the cars drive well but the suspension on the Nexon is better than the Windsor. It handles potholes better and does not have that bouncy effect as the MG which seems to be springy.
Service Reality
Tata cars are not as bad as reddit would suggest but are not perfect as well. I would find out about the quality of service centers near you and let you explore. I have been happy with my 2 Tata cars but know of some people who have had some frustrations when dealing with service. Tata is notorious with issues and while the cars might be well engineered the service centers are more than capable of ruining your day while fixing even minor issues.
Note: The MG had a problem with the charging gun not being compatible of some chargers but recent updates have fixed that as well. I would argue that the parent company of MG have more experience building EVs so I would be more comfortable owning an MG but Tata now has more than 2 lakh electric cars on road in India so you should be fine.
Value Judgment
The MG Windsor Pro arguably provides more value for the amount of money it asks. The top model comes with a 7.2kw charger as standard fitment making them on par on pricing. It is bigger as well.
The Nexon though is not without its strength. Tata service network is bigger. Their interior ergonomics are a lot lot better. The Nexon looks more conventional to many. Slightly more enthusiastic to drive in power and handling as well.
The Windsor also comes with a BaaS option which you can explore on their website if you dont wanna commit the money upfront and can better utilise it somewhere else. This can be a big advantage to many. Though please do note the resale and long term economics of it. However, even without BaaS, as a standard purchase, the Windsor offers immense feature value.
The "Stretch" Strategy: Tata Curvv EV 55
If your budget allows for a slight stretch above the ₹20 Lakh mark—or if you negotiate aggressively—the Tata Curvv EV 55 emerges as the "Goldilocks" contender. It bridges the gap between the Nexon's dynamics and the Windsor's utility. Though taller occupants should still avoid the Curvv due to limited headroom at the rear.
Due to the polarization of its coupe design and the impending launch of the Tata Sierra EV, the Curvv EV has seen significant market correction. Reports from late 2024 indicate dealer-level discounts of up to ₹1.30 Lakh on select variants. If you can secure the 'Accomplished' variant near ₹19.5L, it is objectively superior.

How this connects to other pages
Depreciation is only one piece of the puzzle:
- •Running cost calculator – see how fuel + electricity + km/year change the story.
- •Battery life & degradation – whether you should even worry about a 50k km or 1 lakh km EV.
- •Fire & crash data – if you're nervous about safety.
Idea is to see the full picture: what you pay upfront, what you save to run it, how long the battery lasts, and what you can sell it for at the end.
