The Creta EV, pack for pack: its certified ranges are 420 km and 510 km, against 332 km and 449 km for the Windsor EV. The Windsor's 52.9 kWh pack goes 29 km further than the Creta EV's 42 kWh, which costs ₹2,000 less in the closest pair.
Does Creta EV have a BaaS?
Yes. Since 2 July 2026 Hyundai sells the Creta Electric under battery-as-a-service from ₹10,99,000 ex-showroom, with battery EMI from ₹3.9 a km on top. That ₹3.9 is a loan instalment worked out for 90% of the 42 kWh battery's cost financed at 8.75% for 8 years and 2,330 km a month; other loan terms or distances give a different figure a km. MG's Windsor EV under BaaS starts at ₹9,99,000 for the Excite, plus a battery rental of ₹4.30 a km (₹4.60 on the Pro versions), charging not included; the rental depends on the finance partner's offer, and some finance partners set a minimum distance each month. The two BaaS starting prices are ₹1,00,000 apart, and the two per-km charges are not like for like: one is a loan instalment, the other a rental.
Does the Windsor EV have a crash test result?
No. Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP list no result for the MG Windsor EV, and none for the Creta EV either, as on 1 November 2026, so no crash test separates Creta EV vs Windsor EV.
