Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Citroen Basalt X
  • Looks! Coupe SUV design turns a lot of heads
  • Rear seat space — great kneeroom and foot room
  • Ample headroom despite sloping roof

MG Windsor EV
  • Unique looks, great build quality
  • Impressive list of features and plush spacious interiors
  • Unique warranty, buy-back and free charging options for new customers
Citroen Basalt X
  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof, cruise control, push-button start stop are sorely missed
  • 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond
MG Windsor EV
  • Compulsory 1500km billing per month under the BAAS scheme may not suit all
  • Rear seat recline is comfortable but does eat into boot space
  • Bigger battery-pack only available in the top-end variant
