MG Windsor EV: As the world’s largest democracy tentatively welcomes electric mobility, car makers aren’t just vying for buyers based on performance and range—they’re competing on looks, luxury, and innovation, too.
MG Motor is set to launch a new premium electric sedan, called the MG Windsor EV, which will be part of the British carmaker’s commitment to driving the transition to a low-carbon future.
Taking cues from classic British sophistication and combining it with modern EV technology, the Windsor can be an iconic product from MG’s stable in the changing EV dynamics in India.
Expected to sit above the ZS EV, the MG Windsor EV is for those well-heeled lifestylers after emissions-free motoring, but who don’t want to compromise on style, space or equipment.
Design: Where Elegance Meets Electric Innovation
Based on early teasers and reports the MG Windsor EV will have a long, low-slung silhouette similar to classic British luxury sedans.
It’s sleek in profile with pronounced curves, a strong front fascia with LED light strips and chiseled shoulder lines that provide it with an aerodynamic stance.
Unlike a lot of electric cars that tend to get too out there—and even a lot of the vintage-look designs the Windsor keeps a better balance—mixing classic luxury car cues with modern EV cues like a closed-off grille, flush door handles, and aerodynamic alloy wheels.
Look for LED matrix headlamps and a single strip of a rear light bar to finish off the stylish rear look.
Inside: Tech That’s Premium and Connected
Enter the Windsor EV, and you might be greeted with a techy, large and premium cabin. Early renders show a dashboard with a floating, curved display that integrates the infotainment screen with the driver’s instrument cluster.
This design, combined with few physical buttons, implies a cabin that’s digitally oriented.
Higher trims may continue to offer premium soft-touch materials, ambient lighting and ventilated seats. MG is also anticipated to have:
12+ inch touch screen Entertainment System
( Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (wireless)) (arm)
Digital driver display
Panoramic sunroof
8-way power-adjustable customer front seat with 2 consumer memory positions
Voice assistant and OTA updates!
Windsor EV: The Windsor EV will have its eyes on providing a luxurious yet silent drive, tailor-made for corporate honchos, city bosses and travelers who don’t mind a little luxury in their drive.
Performance and Range
Details regarding materials and specs are scarce but the Windsor EV is likely to be offered in two models:
Single-motor FWD: Probably going to go 180-200hp or so getting 0-100km/h in sub 9 seconds
Dual-motor AWD (top model): Over 250 hp, and faster off the line
Both the versions will sport a lithium-ion battery pack of 50 to 70 kWh, which will provide an estimated 400–500 km per full charge, depending on the model.
It will support fast charging through DC chargers, and it can charge from 10–80% in 40–50 minutes. Charging at home on AC through a wall box would take 6-8 hours.
Safety and Tech
MG cars are traditionally packed with safety tech, and the Windsor EV will surely be no exception. Expect:
6 airbags
ABS with EBD
360-degree camera
Blind spot detection
ADAS-functions/advertisers such as adaptive cruise, lane keep assist and emergency braking
ISOFIX child seat mounts and hill-hold control.
The MG Hector will also feature MG’s iSmart connected car tech with remote vehicle tracking, geo-fencing and voice command capability.
Pros:
Sleek all-electric sedan that feels high-end
Estimated range of the EV should be up to 500 km
Payload is lower than class competitors Rich feature set with digital and safety technologies
Probably cheaper than high-end German EVs
Rapid charging and connected cars
Cons:
Yet to be released in India
There’s a sedan body style for lovers of SUVs.
Poor charging infrastructure in Tier 2/3 cities
Could see prices fall in the ₹25–30 lakh range
Unnecessary for tough Indian climate, whose long term reliability is unproven.
MG Windsor EV: Conclusion
Sourced and imported by Direct MG Windsor, the MG Windsor EV is a new era of 5 seat electric mobility.
This fusion of high-end British-inspired design, intuitive electric powertrain, and a plush cabin experience could shatter all previous notions Indian buyers might hold for electric sedans.
The Windsor EV, if competitively priced, could be an ideal vehicle for those who want to be different but not in an SUV, who don’t want to burn the remains of long-dead dinosaurs or blemish trees with tire warriors.
