MG Motor India is doubling down on its electric mobility game with the launch of the Windsor EV Pro, a more premium, tech-forward upgrade to its all-electric Windsor lineup. While both the Windsor EV and Windsor EV Pro share the same platform and core design language, the Pro variant brings notable enhancements in range, features, and overall appeal.
Let’s break down the key differences to help you decide which variant suits you best.
Battery & Performance
The most significant upgrade in the Pro version is the larger battery pack:
- Windsor EV: 38 kWh battery, 332 km claimed range
- Windsor EV Pro: 52.9 kWh battery, 449 km claimed range
While both variants deliver the same power and torque—134 bhp and 200 Nm—the Pro version has a slight edge in real-world usability with:
DC fast-charging (20% to 80%):
- Pro: ~50 minutes (via 60 kW charger)
- Standard: ~55 minutes
Performance in terms of acceleration remains consistent, but the added range makes the Pro better suited for longer commutes or intercity travel.
Features & Technology: Pro Gets the Smart Edge
This is where the Windsor EV Pro really shines. MG has packed the Pro with features usually reserved for more expensive EVs:
Exclusive to Windsor EV Pro:
- ADAS suite: Lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking
- V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) charging
- Beige interior theme for a lighter, more premium cabin
Shared Features:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated front seats
- Infinity 9-speaker premium sound system
- Ambient lighting
- Integrated air purifier
- The inclusion of V2L and V2V is a segment-first for MG in India, allowing the Pro to power external appliances or even charge other EVs.
Design & Aesthetic Upgrades
Though the silhouette and body structure remain unchanged, the Windsor EV Pro features subtle design updates to distinguish it:
- New 18-inch alloy wheels, reminiscent of the MG Hector
- Three fresh colour options:
- Celadon Blue
- Glaze Red
- Aurora Silver
Inside, the Pro’s beige cabin (vs the standard’s all-black interior) elevates the premium experience with lighter tones across the seats, pillars, and headliner.
Practicality & Space
There’s a minor trade-off in boot space due to the larger battery in the Pro:
- Windsor EV: 604 litres
- Windsor EV Pro: 579 litres
While not a dealbreaker, it’s something for storage-conscious buyers to note.
Pricing & Variants: Worth the Upgrade?
MG has priced the Windsor EV Pro competitively, especially with the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model in play.
- Under BaaS, the battery is not included in the upfront price but can be subscribed to at ₹4.5/km—lowering the barrier for EV ownership.
- Windsor EV is a solid pick for city dwellers or those with lighter daily usage, offering good value and all the essentials.
- Windsor EV Pro is aimed at those who want more range, smarter features, and a touch of luxury—without breaking the bank.
- With the Pro priced at ₹17.50 lakh (₹12.5 lakh under BaaS), MG is offering a compelling upgrade path for Indian EV buyers looking for next-level tech, comfort, and practicality.
Thinking EV? The Windsor Pro is proof MG isn’t just playing catch-up.
