[@kapy407]

No issues with the design and interiors at all. Yes, a few more switches would have helped but that is manageable once the user gets a hang of it. What is not acceptable is the range which is quite low. Should have been 400+ kms for a dent in the EV market.

[@metricstormtrooper]

If enough people complain and state that they won't buy one unless it gets the bigger battery and MG india might just have to offer it. I wouldn't be wanting the glass roof though, I'd rather it the same as the Wuling offered in Indonesia.

[@kannapps]

90/100: Good product, albeit with TWO FLAWS: Good looks, spacious & taller. It ticks 90% of all expectations of Indians. Two problems: 1st problem is the smaller battery pack which can generate only a 230 km run. A larger battery pack (high range) is ESSENTIALLY required to CATER to long journey commuters. MG must RETHINK soon. Absence of provision of a long range battery will not be good for a family MPV. 2nd is No provision of spare wheel. When Tata Sierra 2025 & KIA Siros get launched, it will be retirement time for MG Windsor unless and otherwise they come up with a long-range battery. Let's see. The sooner MG provides a larger battery pack....the good for MG. Otherwise, it would be approaching the "retirement" stage i.e- Competition will eat up.

Prices hiked ? I don’t see a model at 9 .99lakhs ? Can some explain

Without a bigger battery and being such a huge car it does not qualify for family car or highway car... Better they could have brought a small car with this battery pack..... It might be a good choice for corporate executives travel within city or to bring expats from Airport to the office within city... They would love it....

But aren't EVs supposed to be RWD in order to handle their extra weight? This car particularly would have benefitted hugely from a RWD layout. There would have been a larger frunk freeing up space at the rear for a 3rd row of seats.

[@ScootScoot125]

Thats a first for me. How exactly would RWD benefit it? Genuine question. For a car that's aimed at a commuter audience, it's better to give them an understeery car than an oversteering one. It's just easier to deal with.

[@GbMuthu]

​@@ScootScoot125 hi, it doesn't have to be only a commuter car. Overstreer/understeer aside, there is a huge weight transfer to the rear of the car during acceleration, only from where it needs to be pushed. Then there is the e-axle which will not leave a hump on the rear deck like a rear mounted ICE would. ICE cars became FWDs because of the packaging convenience. EVs however offer an opportunity to set things right. When a RWD car drifts it's Paradise but even otherwise torsen returning from the rear of the car while engine braking (regen mode in an EV) and turning a RWD car can be breathtaking.
