MG Windsor EV : I’ve been following the electric vehicle scene in India closely, and few models have shaken things up like the MG Windsor EV.
Launched back in late 2024, this quirky crossover has not only topped sales charts but redefined what affordable luxury looks like on our roads.
As we roll into 2026, with over 50,000 units sold and counting, it’s clear this isn’t just a car—it’s a statement.
A Design That Turns Heads on Delhi Streets
Spot an MG Windsor EV weaving through Delhi’s chaotic traffic, and you can’t help but stare.
Its AeroGlide silhouette blends sedan sleekness with SUV stance, measuring 4,295mm long with a generous 2,700mm wheelbase that promises roomy insides without feeling bulky.
Flush door handles pop out smoothly, R18 diamond-cut alloys gleam under streetlights, and that illuminated MG logo upfront adds a premium wink.
The rear Starstreak LED tail lamps stretch wide, giving it a futuristic flair perfect for India’s urban jungle.
I remember test-driving one last monsoon season—the way it slices through puddles with those 215/55 R18 tyres felt effortless, almost playful.
What seals the deal is the Infinity View glass roof, turning every drive into a stargazing session, even in bumper-to-bumper gridlock.
It’s not just pretty; the aero tweaks help squeeze out better efficiency, crucial when you’re dodging potholes from Gurgaon to Noida.
Inside: Lounge Like a Boss
Step inside the Windsor EV, and it’s like entering a mobile living room tailored for Indian families.
Dual-tone ivory interiors (or knight black in base trims) wrap you in soft leatherette, with royal gold accents that scream sophistication without the snobbery.
The star? Those segment-first Aero-Lounge rear seats that recline a lazy 135 degrees—pure bliss for long hauls from Delhi to Jaipur.
Up front, a 6-way powered driver seat and ventilated cushions keep you cool in summer swelter, while a massive 15.6-inch GrandView touchscreen dominates the dash.
Jio-powered infotainment brings OTT apps, multilingual voice commands, and a 9-speaker Infinity system that thumps Bollywood beats hard enough to rival any club.
Ambient lighting in 256 colors sets the mood, and V2L tech lets you power a laptop or even a small fan from the battery.
Boot space? A cavernous 604 liters with seats up, swallowing weekend luggage with ease. It’s family-friendly luxury that doesn’t compromise on fun.
Powertrain Punch and Real-World Range
Under the hood—or rather, the floor—sits a permanent magnet synchronous motor churning 136 PS and 200 Nm, zipping the Windsor from 0-100 kmph in under 9 seconds.
Smooth as butter in Eco mode for city crawls, it wakes up in Sport for highway overtakes.
Battery choices make it versatile: the 38 kWh pack claims 331-332 km ARAI range, while the 52.9 kWh Pro version stretches to 449 km.
Real-world tests? I’ve seen around 250-280 km in mixed Delhi traffic and highways, hitting 80% of claims—impressive for our AC-blasting, load-heavy drives. Charging’s a breeze: 50 kW DC gets you 20-80% in 50 minutes, or plug into a 7.4 kW home wallbox overnight.
Regenerative braking feels natural, and the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option drops entry price to ₹9.99 lakh plus ₹3.5-4.5/km—genius for budget-conscious buyers wary of big upfront hits. Lifetime battery warranty on Pro trims adds peace of mind.
Tech and Safety That Feel Premium
MG loaded the Windsor with toys that punch above its weight. Level-2 ADAS brings adaptive cruise, lane keep, auto emergency braking—12 functions total, with haptic alerts that nudge you back on track during those drowsy evening commutes.
Six airbags, 360-degree cameras, electronic parking brake, and direct TPMS wrap safety tight. The MG App Store lets you summon the car from your phone, track it live, or even precondition the AC.
Wireless charging, Apple CarPlay, and Jio games keep passengers hooked. In 2026 updates, expect minor tweaks like the Inspire Edition’s special badging, but the core kit remains unbeatable. It’s tech that works intuitively, no PhD required.
Pricing and Ownership in 2026
Ex-showroom prices kick off at ₹11.98 lakh for Excite, climbing to ₹18.49 lakh for Essence Pro—post any hikes, BaaS keeps it accessible around ₹12-13 lakh effective. On-road in Delhi? Around ₹13-20 lakh, with offers up to ₹30k off till Feb end.
Running costs? Pennies compared to petrol—₹1-1.5/km. Service network’s expanding, and resale’s strong given 2025’s No.1 sales crown (46k+ units).

Why MG Windsor EV It’s Dominating India’s EV Scene
The Windsor EV isn’t flawless—infotainment can lag occasionally, and highway range dips with full load—but it nails the Indian brief: value, space, features. It’s outsold Tata Nexon EV in spots, grabbing 28-30% market share.
For urban warriors in Delhi or Mumbai, it’s the smart switch—eco-friendly, wallet-friendly, and seriously fun. If you’re eyeing an EV under ₹20 lakh, test drive one. This crossover’s rewriting road rules, one mile at a time.
