MG Motors Launches the New Windsor EV
The electric vehicle (EV) market is witnessing a surge in new launches, and MG Motors has recently stepped into the spotlight with the introduction of the Windsor EV. Unveiled on Wednesday, this exciting new model starts at a competitive price of Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), expanding MG Motors’ EV lineup, which already includes popular models like Comet and ZS.
Battery-as-a-Service: A Cost-effective Solution
One of the standout features of the Windsor EV is the innovative Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option. This unique battery rental service allows users to significantly reduce their upfront vehicle costs, as they will only pay for the battery usage at a rate of Rs 3.5 per kilometer. This initiative aims to make electric vehicles more accessible and affordable for the average consumer.
Design and Features
The Windsor EV is not just practical but also stylish. It boasts connected LED lighting at both the front and rear, enhancing its modern aesthetic. Designed with aerodynamics in mind, the vehicle is fitted with striking 18-inch alloy wheels. The MG logo elegantly sits below the connected LED Daytime Running Light (DRL) strip, showcasing the vehicle’s contemporary design.
Charging convenience is ensured with a strategically placed port on the front left fender. Customers can choose from four appealing colors: Pearl White, Clay Beige, Turquoise Green, and Starburst Black. Inside, the cabin combines luxury with technology, featuring premium black leatherette seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in leatherette, ensuring a comfortable driving experience.
Advanced Technology and Comfort
In terms of technology, the Windsor EV is equipped with a remarkable 15.6-inch touchscreen on the dashboard along with an 8.8-inch digital driver display. Additionally, it includes modern features such as automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, a powered driver seat, and a panoramic glass roof that enhances the interior ambiance. For added comfort, reclining seats are available in the rear.
Performance Specifications
Under the hood, the Windsor EV features a capable 38 kWh battery that delivers an impressive 136 PS of power and 200 Nm of torque. It offers a range of approximately 331 km on a single charge, making it a practical option for daily commuting.
For initial customers, MG Motors is offering a full warranty on the battery. Charging the vehicle is efficient, taking about 6.5 hours with a 7.4 kW AC fast charger, making it convenient for both home and public charging needs.
Growing EV Market in India
The launch of the Windsor EV comes at a time when the electric vehicle market in India is thriving, with sales experiencing rapid growth. Tata Motors currently holds the largest market share in this segment, but with major players like MG Motors and Maruti Suzuki entering the fray, the competition is expected to intensify further.

In Summary
The MG Motors Windsor EV encapsulates the future of electric mobility, merging affordability, style, advanced technology, and practicality. With an attractive pricing model and extensive features, it stands as a testament to the growing shift towards sustainable transportation in India.
