MG Windsor or Windsor Pro: Which EV is better for the chauffeur-driven?

My 60-year-old aunt is looking to purchase an EV, which will be driven by a chauffeur at all times and only within the city. With a budget of Rs 20 lakh, which car do you suggest – the MG Windsor Pro, MG ZS EV or any other electric car?

Autocar India says: Since your aunt will be mainly chauffeur-driven, the standard MG Windsor EV is a good option. In her case, it is worth considering the Excite variant, which not only covers the basics but also has reclining rear seats that enhance comfort for the occupants. Furthermore, keeping ease of entry/exit and overall space and comfort in mind, the Windsor is worthy of serious consideration. The only reason to stretch for the Pro version is the bright-coloured interior; however, do keep in mind that the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features in this version work erratically and aren’t calibrated well for our conditions. Hence, it is best to opt for an MG Windsor variant without ADAS.
