Tata Nexon EV vs MG Windsor EV: what owners and experts say

Audio system

Nexon EV: Strongly positiveWindsor EV: Generally negative

Nexon EV: “If you tweak the equalizer properly according to your settings, I don't think this car need anything... eight speaker... the sound system from the Harman”

Windsor EV: “It feels like the sound is louder on left side and weaker on the right side, no matter what settings you adjust, it's going to remain the same... The calibration feels slightly off.”

Dashboard layout

Nexon EV: Mixed reviewsWindsor EV: Strongly negative

Nexon EV: “the gear selection dial however isn't intuitive to use when it's in the Sun you can't really tell what mode you're in... that highlighted bit just doesn't show up in the sunshine so you have to look at the instrument [cluster]”

Windsor EV: “there are situations where I've to search the screen for options. And on the road, I sometimes feel confused and distracted. Especially in traffic, the situation becomes tense... the chances of making a mistake increase. That's dangerous.”

Highway stability

Nexon EV: Strongly positiveWindsor EV: Mixed reviews

Nexon EV: “The Nexon's slightly firmer suspension does give it a slight edge out on the highway, where it feels nice and planted and confidence inspiring”

Ride comfort

Nexon EV: Generally positiveWindsor EV: Generally negative

Nexon EV: “There is a slight firm edge to this car's ride, but overall it gives you a feeling of toughness and confidence. And if you thump through a big pothole at speed, it will just shake it off without flinching”

Windsor EV: “this comfortable experience is limited only to good roads. As soon as you go over broken patches of road, potholes, or undulations, the cabin feels unsettled - because the Windsor's suspension has been tuned stiffer.”

Rear seat space

Windsor EV: Strongly positiveNexon EV: Generally negative

Windsor EV: “it's got a nice long generous 2,700mm wheelbase and that's translated into loads and loads of legroom... I have huge amounts of space to stretch out... plenty of leeway for more movement even for taller passengers”

Nexon EV: “the raised floor in the next One Max results in rear passengers sitting knees up and the shorter wheelbase means you won't be able to stretch as much as in the most spacious [MG] ZS EV”

Front seat space

Windsor EV: Strongly positiveNexon EV: Mixed reviews

Windsor EV: “headroom is very good - even on bumpy roads, my head has never touched.”

Electrical reliability

Windsor EV: Generally negativeNexon EV: Strongly negative

Windsor EV: “this car's fast charging has a major issue - you could get stranded anywhere on the highway - it stops accepting fast charging at any time, for any reason, and I don't think the brand has fully identified why.”

Nexon EV: “our test car seemed to be plagued with multiple software glitches, most of these glitches disappeared on restarting the vehicle, however these electrical gremlins should have been sorted out to begin with”

Visibility and blind spots

Windsor EV: Mixed reviewsNexon EV: Strongly negative

Windsor EV: “This car doesn't have a rear wiper, and that's a big problem... A lot of dirt accumulates at the rear. It becomes almost impossible to see through the rear glass.”

Nexon EV: “it does create a blank spot on the A-pillar. This has happened many times, scooters and other bikes suddenly come out of the street like this. I don't know when it comes right in front of me”
