JSW MG Motor India continues its winning streak with the Windsor EV, now further strengthening its position with the launch of the long-range Windsor EV Pro. Responding to growing customer demand for extended range in electric vehicles, MG has introduced the Pro variant with a larger battery and several new features—at a price that keeps things competitive.
Battery and Range
The biggest talking point of the new Windsor EV Pro is its upgraded 52.9kWh battery pack. This larger battery enables a claimed driving range of 449km on a single charge—substantially higher than what the standard version offers. This improvement makes the Pro variant a far more practical choice for long-distance commuting and intercity travel.
Pricing
MG continues to offer flexibility in how buyers can own the Windsor Pro. The EV is priced at Rs. 17.50 lakh (ex-showroom) if purchased outright with the battery included. Alternatively, customers can choose the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, where the car costs Rs. 12.50 lakh upfront, and users pay Rs. 4.5 per kilometre as part of the battery rental scheme.
Here’s a quick price summary:
Ownership Model | Price Structure |
---|---|
Outright Purchase | Rs. 17.50 lakh (with battery) |
BaaS Model | Rs. 12.50 lakh + Rs. 4.5/km |
This dual pricing approach has been a unique selling point for the Windsor range since its launch and allows buyers to lower initial costs, especially for city-centric users with predictable daily distances.
Features
The Windsor EV Pro is offered in a single, top-spec variant called the Essence Pro. Along with the new battery pack, this version also brings in several new features and cosmetic enhancements, including:
- Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) function
- Redesigned alloy wheels
- New beige seat upholstery for a more premium interior feel
These upgrades make the Pro version not just about range but also about added comfort and tech.
Demand and Response
Announced just yesterday, the Windsor EV Pro has already received over 8,000 bookings in a span of 24 hours. This overwhelming response mirrors the initial success the Windsor standard version saw during its debut last year and is a strong indicator of the model’s appeal in India’s growing EV market.
MG’s approach of offering feature-rich EVs at accessible prices, along with innovative ownership options like BaaS, seems to have struck a chord with Indian buyers.
With its extended range, added features, and customer-friendly pricing strategy, the MG Windsor EV Pro is poised to continue the Windsor brand’s momentum in India. For anyone considering an EV that blends affordability, practicality, and premium tech, this Pro version makes a compelling case.
