Conclusion
The MG Windsor was India’s most selling electric SUV of CY25, and this huge demand can be attributed to its attractive pricing, spacious & feature-rich cabin and huge road presence. However, the newly launched Maruti eVitara gives it a tough fight, especially with its more practical cabin, better powertrain options and more range. On the other hand, the Creta Electric is again a very sorted offering, with great emphasis on overall practicality and performance. However, it feels very overpriced, especially after the arrival of the eVitara.
