MG Windsor EV: An Overview

The MG Windsor will be MG’s third electric vehicle offering in India, which will be positioned between the more affordable MG Comet EV and the flagship MG ZS EV. While specifications of the India-spec offering are yet to be disclosed, it can be expected to feature the same electric powertrain as its Indonesia-spec counterpart.

It can have a 50.6 kWh battery pack powering a single motor that produces 136 PS and 200 Nm. The Indonesia-spec model boasts a claimed range of 460 km as per the China Light Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC). However, this figure may vary in India, where vehicles undergo testing by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI).

The MG Windsor, like other MG cars, is expected to be feature-loaded. Features such as a 15.6-inch touchscreen, an 8.8-inch digital driver’s display, wireless phone charging, and power-adjustable front seats are expected to be on offer with the India-spec model. The safety net could include six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an electronic parking brake, and a 360-degree camera. An advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) suite might also make it to the overall features list.

Expected Price And Rivals

The MG Windsor EV will go on sale during the festive season, with prices expected to start from Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom). It will serve as the more affordable version of the MG ZS EV while being a premium alternative to the likes of the Tata Nexon EV and the Mahindra XUV400 EV.
