The electric vehicle space in India is getting traction gradually, and more buyers are ready to take a look at the available choices apart from the ICE powertrain. As you are already aware that a more appealing MG Windsor Pro variant has been launched as the top-spec trim in its range with a slew of modern features, it takes on the Hyundai Creta EV head-on in the space. In this section, we take a look at the features that the Hyundai Creta Electric offers over the Windsor Pro.

Panoramic Sunroof
The Hyundai Creta Electric comes with a panoramic sunroof, which is a big unit, and although the MG Windsor EV also comes with a big glass unit above, it is just an Infinity glass roof that does not open up.
8-way Electric Seat Adjustment
Another area where the Hyundai Creta really shines is the availability of an 8-way powered electric seat adjustment. The MG Windsor EV also comes with electrically adjustable seats, but it's restricted to 6-way support, whereas the Hyundai Creta Electric, in addition to the MG Windsor EV, also offers lumbar support adjustment. Not just this, the co-driver's seat is also electrically adjustable.
Dual-Zone AC
The Hyundai Creta EV adds another layer of convenience to the mix with a dual-zone automatic climate control that makes sure that the driver and the co-driver can set the temperatures of their respective areas as per their convenience and comfort level. This is something that the occupants in the MG Windsor EB will miss out on
More Comprehensive ADAS Suite
While the MG Windsor EV gets the ADAS just now with the Pro variant, it is the Hyundai Creta electric that offers a more polished experience, along with extra features. While both movers include a level-2 ADAS suite, the Creta's system uses a more refined system with extra features like rear cross-traffic crash avoidance and rear traffic alert, with a suite tailored specifically for Indian road conditions.
Cooled Glove Box
MG Windsor Pro misses out on a cooled glove box that the Hyundai Creta EV offers, keeping your drinks and water cooled on those hot summer days. Although this might look like a small addition, it makes quite a difference on the scorching city or intercity runs.
Bigger Instrument Cluster
Both the Windsor and the electric Creta come with a fully digital instrument cluster, but it is the size that differs. While the MG model offers an 8.8-inch cluster, the Hyundai Creta offers a bigger 10.25-inch unit, offering space for some additional info with a cleaner look. Also, I like the expansive single-unit design of the dual screens of the Creta electric.
Rear Window Sunshades
With the kind of summer sun that India gets, you can never go wrong with rear window sunshades that come as a factory fitment. This nifty not so not-so-not-so-expensive addition makes the cabin cooler and restricts the sun rays from entering the cabin to a greater extent. While you can have it as an aftermarket accessory for your cars, the ease and functionality of a factory fitment is unmatched.

Front Parking Sensors
The Hyundai Creta electric adds another layer of security with the availability of front parking sensors that make it easy to navigate through tight spaces or bumper-to-bumper traffic. This is yet another thing that you will miss out on with the Windsor EV.
Verdict
Looking at the portfolio of both MG and Hyundai, the models from both the houses come with a lot of bells and whistles. While the Windsor EV comes with a range of modern tech, the Hyundai Creta has some exclusive features when both are compared. On the flipside, the Windsor EV also offers some extras over the Hyundao Creta, but thats for a different section which we will cover very soon.
