If you are looking for an electric car in the ₹14–27 lakh range, two very different options Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ vs MG Windsor EV Comparison will help you make the right choice.

On paper, both are electric cars, but they are designed around very different priorities. The Windsor is more focused on comfort, practicality and affordable EV ownership, while the BE 6 SPORTEQ takes the more exciting route with more power, larger batteries, rear-wheel drive and substantially faster charging.

The interesting part is that both also offer Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), allowing buyers to reduce the upfront purchase price.

So which one makes more sense?

Let’s compare the price, variants, battery, range, performance, charging and BaaS cost to find out.

• Exclusive
• Essence

• Essence Pro

The current MG website lists the Windsor range from ₹14.69 lakh, while the 52.9kWh Pro versions go up to ₹18.99 lakh.

Price winner: MG Windsor

If your budget is the biggest consideration, there is no contest. The Windsor gets you into an electric car for significantly less money.

2. Battery and Range: BE 6 SPORTEQ Has a Big Advantage

This is where the Mahindra starts justifying its higher price.

The BE 6 SPORTEQ is available with 59kWh, 70kWh and 79kWh batteries. According to the specification sheet you supplied, the claimed ranges are approximately:

• 59kWh: 535 km
• 70kWh: 582 km
• 79kWh: 683 km

The Windsor gets two battery options:

• 38kWh — around 332 km
• 52.9kWh — around 449 km

MG officially lists the Windsor’s certified range at 331–449km depending on battery size.

That’s a substantial difference.

Even the entry-level BE 6 SPORTEQ has considerably more battery capacity than the standard Windsor.

For someone who regularly travels between cities, the BE 6’s larger battery is a major advantage.

Range winner: Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ

3. Performance: This Isn’t Even a Close Fight

The Windsor produces 136 PS and 200 Nm, with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor.

That’s perfectly adequate for everyday driving.

But the BE 6 SPORTEQ belongs to a different performance category.

The specification sheet supplied for the SPORTEQ lists up to 210kW of power and 380Nm of torque, with rear-wheel drive.

That combination changes the character of the car.

The Windsor is designed to be smooth and comfortable.

The BE 6 is designed to feel quick and engaging.

The Mahindra also gets multiple regenerative braking levels, drive modes and performance-oriented features. The SPORTEQ range adds features such as Drift Mode and Acceleration Boost, making its sporty positioning more than just a styling exercise.

If you enjoy driving, the BE 6 is the obvious choice.

Performance winner: Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ — by a large margin

4. Charging: Another Big BE 6 Advantage

This is perhaps one of the biggest practical differences between the two.

The supplied BE 6 specification sheet lists DC charging of up to 180kW, with a 20–80% charging time of roughly 20 minutes, depending on battery/charger configuration.

The Windsor supports 45–60kW DC charging, with approximately 45–50 minutes for 20–80%. MG confirms 45–60kW DC charging capability for the Windsor.

That means the BE 6 is much better suited to frequent highway trips.

Of course, there is an important caveat: charging speed depends on the charger available, battery temperature, state of charge and other conditions. You won’t always get the maximum advertised charging rate.

Still, the hardware advantage remains significant.

Charging winner: Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ

5. BaaS Comparison: Which One Actually Makes More Sense?

This is the most interesting part.

With BaaS, you don’t pay the full battery cost upfront. Instead, you pay a lower vehicle price and then pay a per-kilometre battery rental.

Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ

₹11.45 lakh + ₹3.75/km for the 59kWh ONE under BaaS. Mahindra officially confirms this structure.

MG Windsor

The Windsor starts at ₹9.99 lakh + ₹3.99/km under BaaS for the 38kWh version. The 52.9kWh Pro variants use a higher ₹4.50/km battery-rental rate.

Here’s the interesting calculation.

At 10,000 km per year

BE 6 battery rental:

₹3.75 × 10,000 = ₹37,500/year

Windsor 38kWh:

₹3.99 × 10,000 = ₹39,900/year

So despite being the much bigger and more powerful EV, the BE 6’s quoted BaaS rate is actually lower per kilometre than the Windsor’s 38kWh rate.

At 20,000km per year:

• BE 6: ₹75,000
• Windsor 38kWh: ₹79,800

But don’t look at the per-km rate alone.

The Windsor still requires less upfront money.

So who wins BaaS?

For the lowest possible entry cost: MG Windsor.

For the better car per rupee of battery-rental cost: BE 6 SPORTEQ.

That’s an important distinction.

MG’s BaaS model makes the Windsor particularly attractive to buyers who don’t want to put a large amount of money into an EV initially. MG describes BaaS as a pay-per-usage model designed to reduce the upfront cost.

6. Which Variant Should You Buy?

My pick: MG Windsor Exclusive / Essence

For a primarily city-based buyer, I wouldn’t automatically spend more on the 52.9kWh Pro.

The 38kWh Windsor already offers around 331–332km of certified range, which is plenty for many urban users.

If you want a comfortable family EV with a relatively low entry price, the Windsor makes a lot of sense.

Choose Essence if you particularly value the premium comfort/features.

For long-distance users, however, I’d step up to the Windsor Exclusive Pro or Essence Pro because of the 52.9kWh battery and 449km claimed range. MG also offers a 7.4kW AC charger on the Pro versions.

My pick: BE 6 SPORTEQ Three 70kWh

If you’re buying the BE 6, the 70kWh Three looks like the sweet spot.

Why?

You get a significantly larger battery than the 59kWh versions without jumping all the way to the most expensive 79kWh versions.

The 79kWh version makes more sense for someone who regularly drives long distances and wants maximum range.

The base 59kWh ONE, meanwhile, is the logical choice if you want the BE 6 experience while keeping the purchase price relatively controlled.

Final Verdict: BE 6 SPORTEQ or MG Windsor?

This comparison isn’t really about finding one universal winner.

They are targeting different buyers.

Buy the MG Windsor if:

• Your budget is around ₹14–19 lakh.
• Most of your driving is in the city.
• You want a comfortable family EV.
• You prefer a lower upfront cost.
• You want BaaS to reduce the initial purchase price.
• Performance isn’t your priority.

Buy the Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ if:

• You want a genuinely sporty EV.
• You frequently travel on highways.
• You want substantially more range.
• Fast DC charging matters to you.
• You want RWD and stronger performance.
• You’re comfortable spending ₹20 lakh+ on an EV.
• You want the more performance-focused option.

My overall choice: BE 6 SPORTEQ.

It is considerably more expensive, but you’re getting a much larger battery range, significantly more power and torque, RWD and much faster charging. The BaaS rate of ₹3.75/km also makes the entry-level SPORTEQ surprisingly interesting from an ownership perspective. Mahindra has positioned the SPORTEQ as a technology- and performance-focused evolution of the BE 6, with deliveries announced from August 26, 2026.

But if your priority is value and comfortable everyday commuting, I’d save the money and buy the MG Windsor.

That’s ultimately the biggest takeaway: Windsor is the smarter value purchase; BE 6 SPORTEQ is the more exciting and capable EV.
