JSW MG Motor India is riding high on the success of its electric mobility push, and the latest addition to its EV lineup—the Windsor EV Pro—has already turned heads. The updated version of the Windsor EV packs a larger battery, more features, and an impressive range that should satisfy buyers looking for a longer-distance electric vehicle without breaking the bank.
Launch
The Windsor EV Pro was officially launched yesterday and, in a matter of just 24 hours, it received over 8,000 bookings. That’s a serious response and shows how strong the demand is for affordable, long-range EVs in India. The Pro variant builds on the strong foundation laid by the standard Windsor, which gained attention for its competitive pricing and an innovative battery-as-a-service (BaaS) model.
Range
At the heart of the Pro upgrade is a bigger 52.9kWh battery pack. This new battery gives the Windsor EV a claimed range of 449km on a single charge—ideal for daily commutes, weekend drives, and even intercity runs without range anxiety.
That’s a significant step up from the standard version and brings the Windsor Pro closer to premium electric vehicles at a much more accessible price point.
Pricing
MG continues to offer smart pricing strategies for the Windsor Pro. If you’re buying it outright with the battery included, the Pro is priced at Rs. 17.50 lakh (ex-showroom). But if you’re looking to save on upfront costs, the brand continues its BaaS program—pay Rs. 12.50 lakh for the car and Rs. 4.5 per kilometre for the battery usage.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the pricing structure:
| Purchase Model | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| With Battery | Rs. 17.50 lakh |
| BaaS (Battery Rental) | Rs. 12.50 lakh + ₹4.5/km |
This flexible approach allows buyers to choose what works best for them based on driving habits and financial preferences.
Features
The Windsor EV Pro isn’t just about a bigger battery—it also brings some welcome upgrades to the overall package. It comes in a single, top-spec Essence Pro variant and offers a refreshed design inside and out.
Some of the new additions include:
- New beige seat upholstery for a more premium cabin look
- Redesigned alloy wheels for a sharper stance
- Level 2 ADAS suite for enhanced safety and driving convenience
- V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) function for powering external appliances
These additions make the Pro not just a better performer, but also a more comfortable and tech-rich offering.
Verdict
The Windsor EV Pro hits all the right notes: more range, smarter pricing, added features, and early signs of strong customer interest. With over 8,000 bookings in just a day, it’s clear that MG’s strategy of offering value-packed electric vehicles is resonating with Indian buyers. If you were waiting for a practical, long-range EV that doesn’t cost a fortune, this might be the one.
