When shopping for an electric crossover, practicality is just as important as performance and range. MG Motor’s latest EV, the MG Windsor EV Pro, promises a versatile driving experience with enhanced features and a spacious cabin. However, the key question remains—can its 579-litre boot space actually accommodate real-world luggage needs?
In a recent real-world luggage test, we put the Windsor EV Pro’s boot to the test by loading it with six bags, simulating a typical long-distance trip setup. Here’s what we discovered.
MG Windsor EV Pro: Real-World Boot Space Test
How We Tested the Boot
We used:
-
Three cabin-sized trolley suitcases
-
Three medium-sized backpacks
These six bags represent a common luggage load for a family or group of travelers. The idea was to check if the 579-litre boot capacity can comfortably fit all of them without needing to fold the rear seats.
What Happened?
The result? All six bags fit comfortably.
-
The three suitcases were placed side by side on the boot floor.
-
The three backpacks were stacked neatly on top.
There was no need to compromise passenger seating, and the boot lid closed with ease. While it offers slightly less boot space than the 604-litre boot available in the Excite and Exclusive variants, the Windsor EV Pro still delivers enough room for long journeys.
