The MG Windsor EV Pro comes with a 52.9 kWh battery, which gives it a range of 449 km on a single charge.

JSW MG Motor India claims that it has received over 8,000 bookings for the Windsor Pro within just 24 hours of its launch.

The Windsor Pro was launched on May 6. It is a new variant of the Windsor EV that offers a longer range, thanks to a larger battery pack. The EV was offered at an introductory price of Rs 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 8,000 customers. Prices have now been revised to Rs 18,09,800. The BaaS price has been set at Rs 13.09 lakh + Rs 4.5/km.

The MG Windsor EV Pro comes with a 52.9 kWh battery, which gives it a range of 449 km on a single charge. In comparison, the standard Windsor EV has a 38 kWh battery offering a maximum range of 331 km. The electric motor, however, remains unchanged. The front-mounted e-motor has an output of 134 BHP and 200 Nm.

The Windsor EV Pro looks identical to the standard version, except for the new dual-tone alloy wheels. Inside, it gets new upholstery with faux wood trim, and features like ventilated front seats, a powered tailgate, and Level 2 ADAS. The Windsor EV Pro also has V2L and V2V capability.

Bookings for the Windsor EV Pro will begin on May 8, 2025.

MG has also introduced three new colour options for the Windsor EV: Celadon Blue, Glaze Red and Aurora Silver.

Bookings for the Windsor EV Pro will begin on May 8, 2025.

The Windsor Pro is likely to be equipped with a 50.6 kWh battery pack, offering a range of 460 km

JSW MG Motor India is reportedly planning to introduce a new variant of the Windsor EV. The new variant is expected to get a larger battery and will therefore have more range.

A camouflaged test mule of what is believed to be the new long-range variant of the Windsor EV was recently spotted testing in Gurgaon. Reports suggest that it might be called Windsor Pro.

The Windsor Pro is likely to be equipped with a 50.6 kWh battery pack, offering a range of 460 km on a single charge (CLTC cycle). The electric motor, though, is expected to remain unchanged.

Currently, the Windsor EV is available with a 38 kWh battery with a range of 332 km. It powers a front-mounted electric motor that has an output of 134 BHP and 200 Nm.

t was an amazing experience getting this beauty of a car on the highway and through the ghats. No signs of exhaustion or body pain after travelling 411 km in the day.

BHPian Voltzzzzz recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

A long trip is just what is needed to get understand a car. And what better than a drive to Goa. Even better via the long beautiful coast of Karnataka.

So since we got home our new green ride, The MG Windsor in October, we were itching to go on a long ride. The car by design is made for comfortable family rides albeit the smaller battery pack which restricts its true potential. It was supposed to be our easy city ride but excitement made us take it on a 550 km trip to Bekal the second day we got it for our anniversary celebrations. Boy did the kids and the lady love it??!! Later it became our go to option for our frequent trips to Bangalore (~140km) and even Hassan (~120km). Our beloved Ecosport, which was supposed to be the default car for intercity travel, has now been assigned the second car duties.

The Planning:

On a lazy day in January, one of our close friends invited us to his brother's wedding in Goa. Me and my wife didn't want to miss it but it needed a lot of planning as the wedding was on a Sunday with reception running late into the Sunday night. That meant we had to take leave on Monday too!!!. At the same time it occurred to both of us - This is it!!! This is our EV adventure trip.

Planning the route, I kept looking at the chargers available along the way, Mysore - Sira (Charge at Paakashala) - Davangere (Charge at Kahaani) - Hubli ( Charge at Shell) - Charge at Static charger after Dharwad if needed or just drive down to the destination in Margao anyway we are going down the ghat. I was considering a range of 200 to be on safer side unless it is the last leg of the trip. Basic planning was done with respect to charging the car and reaching the destination but I had to make it more specific to match our food breaks.
There were plenty of chargers along the way except for the drive from Hubli/Dharwad to Madgaon. Still ~20 days was left for the trip but we were confident of doing the trip.

One day while checking out the route on Google Maps to plan the food breaks I wondered why not give the boring 4/6 lane highway a miss and take a more exciting route along Mangalore and coastal Karnataka. Wow!!!!. We also had a long pending wish to visit the Kateel and other temples along the coast. Now there was lot more excitement and meaning to this trip but it also added a different level of challenge with respect to limited charging options, hilly terrain, more driving time and distance. Looking for chargers there was no issue in Mangalore. Kundapura and Honnavar had JioBP chargers. There was a Chargezone also in Honnavar. But the 2-3days before the trip while checking out the chargers I found both the JioBP and Chargezone in Honnavar down that whole evening. I figured out probably it was due to power outage. The challenge was from Kundapura to Madgaon the distance was 240-250km. That was too close for comfort but doable. It also meant that we would have no charge left to roam in Goa without charging again first All the time i was worried not to push the car beyond 200km between two chargers. I told myself we will charge at Kundapura to 100% and then proceed. If the charger at Honnavar is functional then good or else we will take chance on driving along depending on the range the car would have given till then. If in doubt anytime then cancel everything and return back from Honnavara happy with just the trip to the coast.

Itinerary:

Leave Mysore at 4pm on 7th feb (Friday) reach Mangalore by 11pm. Distance of 256km. So top up at Purple resorts in Kushalnagar for 15 min to be on safer side.

Mangalore (Charge to 100% at Nexus mall) to Kateel and then Udupi for breakfast. Reach Kundapur and charge to 100%. Go to Kolluru and Idugunji and reach Honnavara to charge. If charger is functional, charge, have lunch and proceed to Goa or else return to Kundapur, Charge to 100% again and proceed to Goa. (We had to keep a track on the charger at Honnavar all along the way via JioBp app for any signs of outages and modify the trip). Return trip would be a single day dash from Goa to Mysore on 10th Feb (Monday), charging along the way.

The Trip:

With butterflies in the stomach we did the packing. I left for work on 7th morning promising my wife that i will come back on time to start our journey at 4pm. Kids would stay back in Mysore with my parents. As luck would have it that day was particularly busy and I reached home at 5pm!! Plans going awry before the trip itself?. With spirits high we finally left home at 5.30pm on our small wild ride, ready to face any challenges that come up along the way.

Day 1, Friday Feb 7th 2025:

We left Mysore with 96% SOC (Odo 4464 km) and reached Purple resorts in Kushalnagara at 7.45pm with SOC 70% (Odo 4555km). Zeon charger with 25kwh capacity. Had hiccups in initiating the charge for ~15-20min!!. Called the customer service and the charger connected. Ate the dinner we had bought along sitting inside while the car charged and we finally left towards Mangalore at 8.40pm with 99%SOC. We were well behind our schedule and expected to reach Mangalore well past 12am.

By the time we reached Madikeri the SOC had dropped to 89%. 23km covered for 10% of charge, 230km of range. Not great. But we shouldnt have issues to reach Mangalore.
After Madikeri we start going down the Ghat and lo behold the superpower of Regen kicked in. By the time we reached Sulia the car had got charged to 93%!!!!. We reached Mangalore at 12.30am with 58% SOC!!!

162 km covered from Kushalnagar to Mangalore using 41% of charge!!. We went straight to bed not worrying about SOC.

The road all along was very good except for the last stretch near Mangalore. The drive till Madikeri was irritating due to heavy traffic and glaring lights from oncoming vehicles. Once past Madikeri it was a bliss to drive.

Day 2, Saturday Feb 8th 2025:

We checked out of the room at 7am and proceeded towards Kateel. With SOC of 58% (Odo 4717km) we didn't bother charging in Mangalore.  Reached Kateel at 7.40 am had darshan and now change of plans. We proceeded to Moodbidri to visit Alvas, my wife's college and also met her niece who is studying there now. Finally left Moodbidri at 9.30am to reach Hotel K1 at Bhramari, ~15-20km before Udupi to have breakfast and charge the car (JioBP).  It was a paid charging session there costing me Rs 539 for 22.8 Kw. SOC from 30% to 82% (Odo 4801) completed at 11.05am.

We quickly proceeded to Kundapura reaching there at 11.05am. With us still being vary of charging station at Honnavar, we topped up from 60 to 91% (Odo at 4852km) at Kundapura ( Shreyas inn, JioBP, cost Rs. 267) and proceeded to Kolluru.

Ideally i wanted to charge to 100% but due to time constraint charged just enough to return to Kundapur from Honnavar if things didnt work out. From here we had to still cover Kolluru and Idugunji. We were racing against time now since temple at Kolluru closes at 1.30pm.

Reached Kolluru in time at 1.15pm!!! Finished darshan and proceeded to Honnavar for lunch.

Decided to skip Idugunji and cover it while returning so that we can reach Goa early. Had lunch at Sagar Residency in Honnavara while the car was juiced up to 100% from 49% (Odo 4974). Again JioBp charger and it cost me Rs 526 for 22.3Kwh. Had amazing Prawn Ghee roast with Kulcha.

Left Honnavara at 4.20pm and come across some very scenic roads, bridges and tunnels while passing across Ankola and Karwar. We were in time to witness the sunset along the way with the highway going close to the sea at many places.

An enjoyable drive till we reached the narrow roads of Goa after Canacona from where we proceeded at snails pace in bumper to bumper traffic till Madgaon. We reached Nanutel hotel at 7.45pm with SOC of 55%!! and 5128km on Odo.

It was an amazing experience getting this beauty of a car on the highway and through the ghats. No signs of exhaustion or body pain after travelling ~411 km in the day visiting places along the way. We immediately proceeded to Benaulim beach to catch up with our friends. It was only once we had dinner at Johncy's that we realised how sleepy we were. Reached back to hotel, had a Cup of coffee and we were done.

Day 3, Sunday Feb 9th 2025:

Lazy morning. Had breakfast at the hotel and left for Madgaon market. Not satisfied we then went to Colva beach for some shopping in the hot sun. The Wedding was at 5pm and Reception would start from 7.30pm. So we still had almost 5hrs and hence decided to go for a Spa at the Tattva in Courtyard by Marriot close to Colva beach. We got an appointment at 2.30pm and then proceeded to Martin's corner for lunch.

The food and ambience at Martin's was just amazing. By the time we finished lunch and Spa it was almost 4pm. Now remember we have not the charged the car since we last did it at Honnavara. So decided to go to ITC Grand where there is a Static charger. The surprising thing about this charger is that it doesn't show up on eHub by Mg or on Plugshare. We charged the car to 100% from 37% (Odo 5171km) free of cost while we walked around the property.

The surroundings at the charger were bad with no sense of concern for cars coming in to charge.

In our quest for free charging we ended up wasting ~40min here. Instead there was a private 30Kw charger at our hotel itself but they were charging 25rs /Kw!!. We had to miss the actual church wedding as we were tired roaming in the sun. Freshened up and showed up to the wonderful reception where all the fun was at 8pm. Close to 12am we decided to call it a day, reached back to hotel, had a cup of coffee and hit the bed.

Day 4, Monday Feb 10th 2025:

Slowly we pushed ourselves out of the bed and left the hotel at 7am with 85% SOC, Odo 5213km. We had a long day ahead of us where we were going to cover ~600km. Wifey took the first turn at the wheels till we reached Honnavara for breakfast and the charging. We reached there at 9.52am with 32% SoC, ODo 5365km. We juiced up to 98% here at the cost of Rs 672 (28.5Kwh). Took about 40 min for the charge, enough time to have breakfast and a small photo session.

With sun beating down heavily we proceeded to Idugunji and had darshan of Lord Ganesha. Picked the memento for the trip here. A small figurine of the divine diety Lord Ganesha, who will accompany us in all our future road trips.

We hadn't planned much for this return trip. Idugunji was missed during the onward journey. Also how can we miss the beautiful Marvanthe beach.!!! So that was our next stop for another photo session. All the while the sun was shining in all its glory. Thank god for the Sun films I had got installed just before the trip. Without them we would have got roasted inside the Windsor with all its glass area.

Now to complete the trip we had to have lunch in Mangalore while the car was getting charged. But we would reach there only at 3.30pm when all famous restaurants closed. So instead we made the stop at the 'Shetty's Lunch Home' in Kundapura. Supposedly the place where Chicken Ghee roast was invented. Feasted on amazing Prawn Ghee Roast and Fish meals with parboiled rice.

We slowly realised we will again be driving upto Midnight to reach our destination. Nonstop drive would have taken 12hrs. But we had already taken a detour to Idugunji, stopped at Marvanthe Beach and for Lunch at Kundapura. Still a final charging session was pending in Mangalore. We reached Mangalore by 4.30pm. Hooked the car unto the Static charger in Nexus mall and went up for coffee. We expected to leave Mangalore by 5.30pm and reach Mysore by 11.30pm. Plans are meant to fail right. The Static charger had a mind of its own. It kept getting disconnected. Atleast 3 times. By 5.30pm the car had just charged to 80%. Not enough to reach Mysore. I finally bit the bullet and shifted the car to JioBP charger that was just next to it. 100% done and we left by 6pm.

The last leg of 256km Mangalore to Mysore was a drive up the ghats. Would the juice in the car be enough?? Once up the ghats there were options in Madikeri and Kushalnagara for charging in case we fall short. Till I reached the climb, the car was returning an expected range of 300km. But the 16km of ghat road consumed ~1km/1% of charge. Can we reach Mysore without stopping for a short top up charge?. We reached Kushalnagara with still 43% charge left. Another distance of 91 km to be covered. we decided to take chance and drove straight to Mysore and reached home with 8% SOC (Odo 5818km) at 12.15am!!!. Doing Mangalore to Mysore in a single charge was a challenge in itself and surprisingly we did it !!!.

This brought our crazy road trip to an end. The trip ended with a sense of satisfaction about our decision to go green with Windsor.

On the last day we covered a distance of ~605km. The entire trip covering 1375km with an average range of 305km per full charge.

Like they say, its never really a good time to not do things, so I am quite happy with our purchase when we made it

BHPian abburiaditya recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Having completed 2,200 km in my MG Windsor, I am happy with what the experience has been so far. I drive about 100kms a day - 65% ring road (avg speed 100-110kmph) and 35% city. 250-260 kms has been the range I have been getting almost every charge cycle.

This is my first EV and moving from ICE (2017 Creta SX+ petrol), it has been an amazing experience. The comfort level and ease of driving is just awesome.

I have the 7.2KW charger provided by MG, but was unable to install it due to restrictions in our gated community. Currently only have AC slow charging (2.2kW) and it is working out alright. Tried DC fast charging a couple of times and it worked well, charging at 45Kw.

Have had no issues with AC so far. Summer will really tell if the AC is good enough or not. I have not tried the free charging option yet at any of the commercial chargers. The rear suspension could've been a little softer but is not bad at all. The speakers are adequate and provide a good environment.

I changed the air pressure to 33 (was pre filled to 36 during delivery) and it has made a difference to noise and comfort as well. Kids love the rear seat and enjoy the wide glass roof (simple pleasures for them and primary reason for me to go for the top end).

Had the screen freeze on me one time but a quick restart sorted that out. Am impressed with the regular FOTA updates being provided by MG and the iSmart app as well.

I did drive the Punch, Nexon and Curvv (all EV's) and I see a distinct difference in comfort and finish in the car.

My only quib is that Telangana got rid of the road tax exactly a month after the delivery so I could've saved about 2.3L. But like they say, its never really a good time to not do things, so I am quite happy with our purchase when we made it.

6E looks amazing and sometimes makes me feel if I should've waited just for the larger battery pack int he price range, but with Mahindra, you could end up being a beta tester early in their car launches!

Things like AutoHold and 360 Degree camera are quite useful. Can clearly see both the tires on camera while parking next to drains or steep edges

BHPian unplugged recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Took delivery of T.Green Windsor Essence on 06 Nov 2024, after paying one full EMI even before taking delivery

Dealership experience was mixed, due to so many failed promises on delivery date. Dealer rep said there are no more T. Green vehicles allotted to them for the next 2 months due to high demand. Only black and white will be delivered for next 2 months. All accessories are costlier at the dealer than what was mentioned in the accessories brochure, and most of them are unavailable. Still waiting to get the Screen guard and Door edge protector (fully paid for). Wanted to go with MG Dashcam which is supposed to be common for all their vehicle models, and even that was not available. Got insurance on my own, despite dealer opposition. They mentioned handling charges 10k in the original price list, I told them its illegal since Supreme court observations and TG Government order in 2016 on the matter. They promptly updated their price list and put the same 10k under the head Teflon coating which unsurprisingly became mandatory at the time of delivery. Delivery was smooth and organized well.

Vehicle is only 5 days old so still learning lot of things. Things like AutoHold and 360 Degree camera are quite useful. Can clearly see both the tires on camera while parking next to drains or steep edges. The drive mode setting resets to Normal and Heavy Regen every time the car is switched ON, which is annoying. The door grab handles are positioned quite high up towards the glass, so its little inconvenient while opening and closing.

Extrapolated range on Normal mode in city driving, with AC running, is around 230 to 240 kms, while ECO mode is returning close to 300 to 310 kms in city with top speed under 60 kmph and light footed driving in both scenarios. I found the ride to be slightly more comfortable in ECO mode due to reduced acceleration and consequent less head movement while being seated inside. The difference can be felt in stop and go conditions in city traffic. The steering is too light for my liking, but will get used to it.

7.4 kW Charger was installed 2 days later and works fine. But surprisingly no option on the MG iSmart app to limit the percentage up to which we can charge. Request other owners to let me know if there is a way around or I am missing something.

What I observed was, in highway if you maintain speed of 80 it gives better mileage, but as you cross 95 it eats up the battery quite fast

BHPian sbs recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Today I did a 100->1% battery usage drive on my Windsor Essense. The total distance I could cover is 237km. Full driving was on eco + heavy recovery mode(except the last 5% where i went to eco+). AC was On full time(21-23 C+Fanspeed of 2-4), android phone connected full time. FM/Music was on for half the distance.

160 km was on Highway with a speed maintained between 95 to 110 km (in cruise mode). Remaining 80Km was in city traffic and had to face bumper to bumper traffic multiple times.

What I observed was, in highway if you maintain speed of 80 it gives better mileage, but as you cross 95 it eats up the battery quite fast. If I had maintained a highway speed of 80, car would have given 15-25 km more.

I do not have any sun blinds/tints installed on the windows and temperature on highway during made me increase AC fan speed and lower temperature.

So during proper summer months it could be an issue, planning to install sun tints soon. This can reduce AC usage and increase the mileage possibly.

Then I did a full recharge at one go on my home installed 7.5KW charger. It took me 6 hours and 10 mins to be back at 100% charge. It took 43KWh units, I have a sub meter installed at the charger so can measure the units used during charging.

The response of EV's is just fantastic. EV's and automatic are a match made in heaven. The simplicity of driving is unmatched

BHPian Ashwathama recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I recently did a Pune - Lonavala round trip of about 115 kms. I was driving on ECO+ heavy regen while going and ECO heavy regen while returning. I started at 67% and completed the full journey at 31%. That's 36% used for 115kms so by calculation 115/36 =3.194kms per percent. This would have resulted in 290-319kms of total range approximately.

Around 80-90kms of this was spent on the expressway. While going as I was on ECO+ mode, the max speed and average speed was 83 kmph. While returning, I was at 100kmph on the expressway. Rest was in the city, bumper to bumper traffic while going and moderate while returning. I did try turning on cruise control while driving on the expressway, but I couldn't figure it out, so I gave up and just squeezed the accelerator.

AC was fluctuating between speed 3-5 at 22 degrees while going and while returning as it was night, AC was at speed 1, 22 degrees. The moonroof was closed both times and I don't have any sun blinds or film installed. Two phones were charging both times. One on the wireless charger and one on the 60kw charger which I installed in the socket. I wasn't listening to any music but I have a front and rear dash cam working at all times. I also don't have a spare tire at the back.

Daytime the front headlamps were off, and at night, the LED headlamps were set to AUTO and level 1 for distance viewing with interior lights set to constant on. Tyre Pressure was 34.5 psi across all while journey started but while driving on the expressway when I checked it was showing 37-38Psi across all maybe because of heat.

No doubt, I was impressed by the range. I enjoyed the return more as ECO gave me more freedom. I got better range on ECO while returning by about 2% more battery but this may just be due to the AC being at fan speed 1 at night.

Also, this trip was decided all of a sudden so the 7.4KW charger came in handy. I was at 30% charge when we planned the trip and had like two hours before leaving. So I charged the vehicle with the 7.4KW charger for around two hours and topped up the vehicle to 67%. I am just happy with the amount of convenience I had with the fast charger. Initially, Iw as going for the mid model but went for top end because of the fast charger. I thought that getting it installed was tiring, increasing load, wiring etc. but glad I got it installed. Really helpful in such situations.

Overall, I just loved the whole experience. This is a breeze to drive. Very smooth and quiet car. The response of EV's is just fantastic. EV's and automatic are a match made in heaven. The simplicity of driving is unmatched. The cabin experience was also truly comfortable. Such amazing seats. My dad sat with me in the front and mum at the back and they were enjoying the journey. The car at high speeds doesn't run out of control or anything, very easy to handle. Even while driving at 90-100kmph on the expressway it felt like driving at 50kmph something. The control is just fantastic. Of course it's a EV so it is very economical. I mean the toll charges were more than the money spent on the entire drive, very interesting times.

Ohh, and I have to add, I was using google maps via carplay on that big screen during the entire journey as I didn't know the route to the destination and believe me, its the boon of the 21st century. Maps on that big screen is pure hassle free driving.
