MG Windsor EV will be unveiled on September 11 in India and it will likely feature a claimed driving range of around 500 km
JSW MG Motor India has been teasing its brand new product, the Windsor EV, for a couple of weeks now and some of its key details have already been revealed. Named after a famous castle in the United Kingdom, the five-seater will make its debut on September 11 officially and it will compete in the midsize e-SUV segment which will see plenty of activity soon.
However, the MG Windsor won’t be a typical SUV. This midsize crossover combines elements of both a sedan and an SUV, offering the benefits of each body style. It will be based on the Wuling Cloud EV platform, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic exterior with clean lines and a large greenhouse and MG calls its styling philosophy as ‘AeroGlide’.
The vehicle is expected to be offered with two battery pack options, boasting high ground clearance and a spacious interior. Thus, we expect it to cater to audiences that are looking for a family-based EV in the sub Rs. 20 lakh price bracket. Additionally, it will come loaded with modern features including a 15.6-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The British manufacturer has confirmed the presence of a set of 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels in an aero pattern in its latest teaser and the tyre sections will be 215/55 R18. The Windsor will be slotted between the Comet EV and the ZS EV in India.
MG has also revealed through teasers that the zero-emission model will be equipped with 135-degree reclinable rear seats, a large panoramic glass roof, a flat-bottom steering wheel with mounted controls, an all-digital instrument console, etc. It will also feature Level 2 ADAS, automatic climate control, ventilated seats, ambient lighting and so on.
