If you’re looking for a family-friendly electric MPV in the mid-size segment, the MG Windsor EV is likely already on your shortlist. With a roomy cabin, modern design, and two battery options, it ticks many right boxes. But the real confusion begins when choosing between its two popular variants — Essence and Exclusive Pro.

Both variants cater to different kinds of buyers. So instead of asking which one is better, the smarter question is: which one suits your usage better? Let’s break it down clearly.

Key Difference at a Glance

The biggest distinction between the two variants lies in battery size and feature prioritisation.

• Essence: Smaller battery, more premium features

• Exclusive Pro: Bigger battery, fewer luxury features

Battery & Driving Range

This is where the difference becomes most obvious.

• Essence variant

  • Battery: 38 kWh

  • Claimed range: up to 332 km

• Exclusive Pro variant

  • Battery: 52.9 kWh

  • Claimed range: up to 449 km

If your daily driving is mostly city-based and you charge frequently, the Essence’s range is more than adequate. But if you plan long highway trips or want fewer charging stops, the Exclusive Pro clearly has the upper hand.

Design & Interior Experience

Both variants look similar at first glance, but there are some meaningful differences.

• Essence highlights

  • 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels

  • Infinity View glass roof

  • Ambient lighting

  • PM2.5 air purifier

  • Night Black interior theme

• Exclusive Pro highlights

  • 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels

  • New Ivory White dual-tone interior

  • Misses out on glass roof, ambient lighting, and air purifier

In simple terms, Essence feels more premium inside, while Exclusive Pro keeps things functional and clean.

Price Comparison

• Essence: ₹16.52 lakh (ex-showroom)

• Exclusive Pro: ₹17.37 lakh (ex-showroom)

For an extra ₹85,000, the Exclusive Pro gives you a much larger battery, but you sacrifice some comfort and luxury features.

Which One Should You Buy?

Here’s the easy way to decide:

• Go for Essence if

  • You mostly drive within the city

  • You want premium features and a richer cabin feel

  • This is your second or third car

  • You value comfort over maximum range

• Go for Exclusive Pro if

  • Long range and fewer charging stops matter most

  • You take frequent highway trips

  • You want better long-term practicality

  • You’re okay skipping luxury features for range

Final Verdict

There’s no wrong choice here — just different priorities.
The Essence is ideal for comfort-focused urban buyers, while the Exclusive Pro is the smarter pick for range-conscious users who want maximum usability from their EV.
