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

JSW MG Motor India has launched the Windsor EV Pro at an introductory price of Rs 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 8,000 customers. It comes with a larger battery pack, offering a longer range compared to the standard model.

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 gets Level 2 ADAS and has V2L and V2V capability.

On the outside, 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.

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.

Reports suggest that it could get a 50.6 kWh battery with a range of 460 km.

JSW MG Motor India has just announced that its upcoming long-range version of the Windsor EV will be called Windsor Pro. It will be officially launched on May 6, 2025.

The new Windsor Pro promises to offer improved interiors and tech, better safety and a bigger battery pack. Reports suggest that it could get a 50.6 kWh battery with a range of 460 km on a single charge (CLTC cycle).

On the other hand, the interior layout looks familiar with a large, floating touchscreen in the centre, a digital instrument cluster and a 2-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheel. It will feature black leather upholstery and faux wood trim and copper details.

The Windsor Pro is expected to be powered by the same electric motor as the standard version. It has an output of 134 BHP and 200 Nm and drives the front axle.

All in all, I have driven 58.6 km in 15%, bringing the average range to 3.9kms per percent.

BHPian Ashwathama recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Here are some recent observations from a couple of my recent drives.

I charged my car to 100% from 22% using the 7.4KW AC charger. Time taken was around 4.5hrs. Once the car was charged, I made two trips early in the morning. ODO reading - 658kms

In the first one, I travelled 28.8 km in 7%, bringing the range to 4.1 km per percent. ODO reading - 687km

.

Today, I did another 29.8 km in 8%, bringing the range to 3.7 km per percent. ODO reading - 717km

All in all, I have driven 58.6 km in 15%, bringing the average range to 3.9kms per percent. Mode was ECO, regen was heavy and AC was at 24 degrees with fan speed 2 at all times. Max speed the car went to was around 90kmph. The car was driven mostly on highways.

What I have realised is weather has a huge effect on range. If you are driving this car in hot regions, do put sunfilms and filters to use the AC less often. Although, I am not using any sun films to keep the cabin cool. Secondly, the way you accelerate also makes a huge difference. Keep an eye on the KW you are using. Constant speed is also a key factor in this. As I drove mostly on highways I clocked better range but AC is the real deal here.

Getting around 200 km of range per full charge, even when driven in Eco+ mode with heavy regenerative braking activated.

MG Windsor - Initial Ownership Experience

Initial Impressions: It has been an impressive experience so far. Here are some key takeaways:

• Torque on Tap – No matter which mode you end up driving it in, even Eco+, there is more than enough oomph for city dwelling
• Spacious & Silent Cabin – The interior feels roomy, with generous rear seat space. Five adults can sit comfortably. Feels particularly comfortable as we are mostly tall folks at home. The silent cabin is a game changer and might I say luxurious experience
• Build & Material Quality – Both interior and exterior quality are commendable. The fit and finish, soft-touch dashboard materials, and paint quality surpass expectations. The body shell feels robust, and the doors shut with a reassuring thud.
• Great Value for Money – For the features and overall package, the Windsor offers one of the best value-for-money propositions in the EV segment. Period!
• Large Touchscreen (Mixed Feelings) – The size and brightness of the screen make it highly readable even under direct sunlight. However, the user interface has some lag, which could improve with future software updates. No concerns at all w.r.t handling basic functions like ORVM adjustments. Once you get used to the steering-mounted controls, they work seamlessly for the same. Sure, there is a learning curve - but that's with all technologies!
• Ride Quality: Running on 33 PSI tyre pressure all around as suggested by most of you. The ride quality is decent—neither too stiff nor too plush. There is some sideways movement on uneven roads, but overall, the suspension does its job well. Yet to experience highway dynamics.
• Range & Efficiency: Getting around 200 km per full charge, even when driven in Eco+ mode with heavy regenerative braking activated.
• Expecting an improvement after the first service. Would appreciate insights from other owners—is this typical, or could the tyre pressure (33 PSI) be a factor in the lower range?

Final Thoughts:

• The car itself is fantastic
• Strong build, spacious cabin, and good features make the Windsor a compelling EV choice at even the increased price
• Still trying to optimize range—looking forward to feedback from fellow owners.

I have driven 2000 km. Only AC charging so far. Octillion guy's words - let the vehicle rest for 15 mins before DC charging, and after charging as well before driving. This will increase the battery life

BHPian Ash_Catchem recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Researched well about the car and alternatives.
Two major USP -
1. Lifetime Warranty (for me)
2. More width than Innova (for my father).

We never had a car , so splurging Rs 18.5 lakhs (OTR) on a car was a big deal for us. Wanted to gift one to my Dad before he retired (this year)

Local showroom in Deoghar honored my request to bring the Test Vehicle to my door for my parents to look at the vehicle and feel the space

But I was skeptical about the warranty policy of the vehicle as well. So not only I book the vehicle, but I also mailed to MG about the same.

Also, I asked them to give me the latest VIN no. AND THEY OBLIGED

Booking was done on 6th Feb, and they gave me a report on WhatsApp for 18th Feb that the latest FEB 2025 made vehicle has been dispatched and it will reach the local showroom soon. This communication was done with the Dhanbad Team in Jharkhand, as the service center for Deoghar is there (120kms away).

Since I was still skeptical about the range since I read a lot of people were getting 200 and 250kms on full charge, I contacted the GM Sales in Ranchi to get the vehicle unloaded in his main stockyard in Ranchi, 250kms away, and drive the vehicle to my local showroom. He obliged

26th Feb , I was informed that the vehicle will arrive today. Went to the showroom (Deoghar), waited for a while, and my Windsor arrived. Travelled 256kms and still 11% battery was left. So range issue was certainly not there in the vehicle.

PDI was done exhaustively. Took 4 hours to complete the same as suggested in other forums repeatedly, to check every nook and corner, every function etc. There was one single panel gap, but it was manageable, so I ignored that.

It was MahaShivRatri on 26th, so holidays, still showroom people (both in Deoghar and Dhanbad)managed to do all the paperwork and Temp Reg. and approx. at 5 PM we got the vehicle in our hands. The remaining payment was done after PDI earlier. One thing to note was that they never pressured me to take insurance from them.

I paid for - Vehicle, TR , FastTag and that's it. I only imagine that had it been TATA/ Hyundai, the situation might have been different.

Since it was Mahashivratri, I was not willing to take the steering wheel in my hands owing to the huge crowd on the streets. Didn't want to make any scratches in a new car. So the showroom assigned us their driver to take our car to our home.

Here are some MORE photos of the vehicle

I will not repeat as almost everything has been mentioned in the previous reviews. In short vehicle is very smooth to drive, even if we consider the stiff suspension.

Now, coming to a hiccup.

I was in Dhanbad for accessory installation. For installing rear bull bar my vehicle was lifted up using a Hydraulic lift. After installation, they didn't set down the lift properly, and my vehicle was reversed. Lift was still above the floor level so while reversing, the battery pack and chassis were damaged. A slight dent was made in the battery pack as well. . I was worried since I had read about TATA voiding warranty, citing dents in battery packs and scratches in the outer casing of the battery pack.

I recorded everything and asked for an explanation about warranty issues.

Verbally - No warranty issues, but I asked them to give me this in writing and waited for 2 days. No replies so far. So I wrote to Rajeev Chaba , PULSE MG and OCTILLION as well.

Got a reply from Rajeev Chaba the day after citing my issue and getting things sorted within a few days.

Dhanbad Team also replied that they have arranged a guy from Octillion to check the battery pack. Meanwhile, I was driving my car as usual. I even got a range of 330 driving in ECO+ mode. See the ODO.

Went to Dhanbad SC at the appointed date, Octillion guy checked the HV battery for 3 hours. Checked SoH to be 99.99%. Told me that the outer protective layer was damaged only, and it was nothing to worry about. The battery pack was not damaged, and performance was as expected. No warranty would be void because of this incident.

Day after tomorrow I got a mail from Dhanbad Service Team with a full HV battery report, which included the health of each individual cell as well. (cannot post SS it includes a lot of personal data)
Imagine if it were TATA in place of MG.

MG Customer Support is good.

So far, I have driven 2000 km. Only AC charging so far. Octillion guy's words - let the vehicle rest for 15 mins before DC charging, and after charging as well before driving. This will increase the battery life.

The Windsor EV is the third pure electric model from MG after the ZS EV and Comet EV.

JSW MG Motor India has announced that it has sold over 20,000 units of the Windsor EV in just 6 months.

Launched in September 2024, the Windsor EV is the third pure electric model from MG after the ZS EV and Comet EV. It is priced at Rs 9.99 lakh with the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option.

The Windsor EV was also the best-selling EV in India for 4 consecutive months between October 2024 and January 2025.

The Windsor EV is available in Excite, Exclusive and Essence variants. It packs a 38 kWh battery, delivering a range of 332 km. It powers an electric motor with an output of 134 BHP and 200 Nm. The car supports DC fast charging, which takes 40 minutes to charge the battery pack.

All except the Voltran chargers were free for the Windsor and I paid a total of 1400 for a 1400+km trip.

1400+ km road trip over 5 days

The missus and I along with our 2 kiddos decided to do our trip to Tirupati and around from Hyderabad in the EV this time. The distance from Home to Tirupati was around 560 km and then going to Tirumala, Kanipakam and Kalahasti and back to Tirupati and then home took us to a total trip of about 1440 kms.

We started at 6am on Sat, 22nd March with 100% SoC and sped away towards Kurnool. The first stop was at a Statiq charging point which also had a drive in where we decided to stop for breakfast. We had traveled 210 kms and SoC was down to 29%. I had consistently driven at around 80-85kmph on Eco and Normal Regen. This equates to a range of about 290+. Charged to 90%. Took about 40 mins.

Next stop was a Voltran charger, 188 kms away. Drove at speeds of 90-110 kmph. Range came down considerably, close to 235, Charged for 50 minutes. Initial SoC 10%, final 89%.

Next stop was Hotel Ekante Bliss at Tirupati, 171 kms away. Drove at speeds ranging 60-80 kmph. End Soc 28%. Range of about 283 kms.

From Tirupati, we had a trip to Tirumala, where we stayed for a day. Driving downhill was amazing and it still blows my mind that I gained 2-3%SoC driving down the hill.

The drive to Tirumala and back, some local driving in Tirupati and a couple of trips to Kanipakam and Kalahasti and back was about 320kms and consumed about 120% SoC.

Started back on Wednesday after breakfast. We stopped at the magnificent Ontimitta Kodanda Rama Temple near Kadapa. It was very hot and we couldn't spend a lot of time there.

The 2 charging stops were at the Voltran station and a ChargeZone charger right across the highway from the Statiq charger which was our first stop on day 1.

All except the Voltran chargers were free for the Windsor and I paid a total of 1400 for a 1400+km trip.

Driving comfort was excellent throughout. It was me alone driving close to 11 hours on day 1 (with the charging breaks) and almost 12 hours on the last day. I was just a little tired but absolutely no discomfort while driving.

The rear seats were pretty comfortable for both the kids and they did not complain about comfort except when it got a little too hot after one of our stops and the ac took some time to show its effect.

This is a significant saving compared to driving my Hyundai Verna 1.5 Turbo, which would have required a full tank of fuel.

BHPian ram7077 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I began my journey with a 100% charged battery and drove 51 km from Mahe to Iritty, where I stopped at Skypenta Hotel with 84% charge remaining. This indicates a 16% drop in battery charge for the 51 km stretch.

I charged my vehicle using the 30kW EVOQ Charger from GOEC, paying ₹166.12 to reach 100% charge. With ghat roads ahead, I prioritized caution and opted for a full charge. The charging process took approximately 27 minutes to charge from 84% to 100%.

I drove directly from Skypenta Hotel in Iritty to Kodagu Planter's Club in Gonikoppa, Coorg, as a precautionary measure to charge my car again as it was declared a bandh in Karnataka that day. I didn't want to risk getting stranded on NH275 without a charge.

Kodagu Planter’s Club had a 60kW JIO Pulse charger with dual charging guns and I used this to top up my battery. After my drive from Iritty to Coorg of 48 km through ghat roads, my charge had dropped to 70%. I charged my vehicle from 70% to 99% in approximately 29 minutes, incurring a cost of ₹286.27.

Then, started driving all guns blazing through the scorching sun towards Bangalore. After covering 156 km on the Mysore-Bangalore expressway, I spotted a Burger King with a Zeon Charger. And that’s when I decided to take a lunch break and charge my car simultaneously which would reduce the time of travel and help me with ease of travel. The convenient stop reinforced the value of planning, making the journey even smoother.

After traveling 151 km from Kodagu Planter’s Club at Gonikkopa at Coorg to Zeon Charger at Ramanagara near Bangalore, my battery level dropped to 41%. Fortunately, the 60kW Zeon Charger at Burger King was a boon, which fully charged my vehicle to 100% in just 50 minutes while I had lunch. The charging session consumed 25.92 units, costing approximately ₹608.66.

I ended my journey with a 68% battery level after traveling the last 74 km to my hotel. This represented a 32% decrease, which works out to approximately 2.3 km per 1% of battery charge.

My final day began with a journey from Bangalore to a charging station on the Bangalore-Mysore expressway (NH275), where I found a 60kW Statiq charger. After a 72 km drive, my battery level dropped from 67% to 47%, a 20% decrease, which translates to approximately 3.6 km per percentage point of charge. Conveniently, a Cafe Coffee Day outlet was nearby, allowing me to combine charging with breakfast. The charging session took around 45-50 minutes and cost ₹405.

I had planned to drive 166 km directly to Kodagu Planter's Club, expecting to arrive with 40-45% battery charge. However, upon arrival, I had only 38% charge left. This was because I drove most of the NH 275 stretch in Normal mode instead of ECO+ mode, which would have limited my speed to 80-83 kmph and helped conserve more battery charge.

Next up, there was a twist in the tale. When I arrived at Kodagu Planter’s club, the Jio Pulse charger was not functioning. Another EV owner, who was also struggling to charge his Nexon EV, shared the same experience. With only 38% charge and 117 km range, I was concerned about making it back home, which was 95 km away. Range anxiety started to set in. Fortunately, the other EV owner kindly directed me to a nearby Tata Showroom, which had a 24kW Zeon Charger. Although it was slower than the 60kW Jio Pulse charger, I was relieved to have an alternative option.

My relief was short-lived, as I arrived at the Tata Showroom, only to discover that the 24kW Zeon Charger was also out of order. I met another EV owner, who was about to leave after trying to charge his Punch EV. He informed me that a power outage in the area had rendered both charging stations - Jio Pulse and Zeon Charger - unusable, leaving me with no immediate charging options.

This is where nerves started to jangle and now the charge dropped to 35% and next charger was at SkyPenta Hotel at Iritty which was 47 kms away and around 1:30 hrs - 2 hrs drive. However, I chose to trust my vehicle and proceed confidently, relying on regeneration to help. As I navigated the challenging Coorg Ghat roads, filled with potholes and ongoing roadwork, I relied heavily on braking and regeneration, which surprisingly boosted my charge to 38% and increased my range to 125 km by the time I exited the ghat section.

Kerala roads are always unpredictable and well-known for traffic jams, I headed directly to Skypenta Hotel in Iritty to recharge my car. While charging, I took a break to refresh myself, as the combination of range anxiety and early morning long-distance driving had taken a toll on my energy levels. I decided to have lunch at the hotel, enjoying some food and fresh juice to recharge myself. Meanwhile, the EVOQ charger stopped at 72% due to insufficient funds (Rs 315) in my EVOQ app wallet.

I had 72% charge remaining and only 51 km to cover to reach home, so I indulged in some enthusiastic driving. I arrived home in under an hour and still had 55% charge left.

Despite some minor confusion about charge and range, my Windsor reliably guided me to the next charging station. Moreover, the ride was extremely comfortable both to and from Bangalore, making the journey a pleasant experience.

My calculations show that the total charging cost for the 700 km trip was ₹1780, with 55% charge still remaining, enough for another 100-150 km. This is a significant saving compared to driving my Verna 1.5 Turbo, which would have required a full tank costing around ₹5000, plus an additional ₹1000 for a safety refill on the return journey, considering the poor mileage for petrol vehicles on ghat roads.

Hope my thread is interesting and will be back with another one while I plan my next trip. Until then, kudos mates.

City range has been strangely improving as when I have started driving spiritedly without worrying about range.

BHPian Voltzzzzz recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

City driving (Mode and Regen used)

• Currently started with 76% charge, run 135km and SOC 27%. So range comes to 275km.
• Only city driving done, ~20km per day. No more than 8km per trip. Normal mode, heavy regen.
• City range has been strangely improving as when I have started driving spiritedly without worrying about range.

Highway driving (Mode and Regen used)

• Consistently getting 300km range. I have shared the range multiple times in this thread and have shared a travelogue of my trip to Goa. You can check that.
• Normal mode, heavy regen.
• I have stopped fiddling with the modes and regen after initial 2-3k kms.

Any new and good surprises

• Range on highways and ghats is more than I expected.
• The direct commands.

Got a chance to test drive and experience the Windsor EV recently and loved the car. Here a few of observations after the test drive

BHPian AdityaDeane recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

MG Windsor Positives:

* Ample space inside the car for all occupants.
* Big boot space, with the flexibility of reducing or increasing the height of the boot floor.
* Sufficient ground clearance.
* Good power and torque in all modes, even in Eco+ (though the overall feel is lesser compared to the other modes).
* Big cargo area with the 2nd row folded down.
* Good view of the sky from both rows, through the moonroof (or whatever that big glass area is called).
* Nice and big car, not just an electric Jazz sized vehicle, like how it looks from afar.

MG Windsor Negatives:

* Confusing controls for the ORVMs, Cruise Control etc.
* Everything is touchscreen controlled, hence lot of distraction while driving.
* Not a worthy replacement for my Aria, as adults cannot sleep inside with the rear seats folded down, so not camping friendly (maybe just for kids).
* No 12v socket at the rear or middle row for powering a Tyre Inflator etc.
* Range is a little less for the hills, as charging points are far away, compared to the cities, and power consumption is more uphill.
* The Free Charging offers and introductory prices are over, and the dealers are not ready to budget for any form of discounts in Mandi (H.P.).

As a standalone product, I love the car as it has good features from the base model itself. But, it'll take more than the current set of features to convert me from my Aria to a Windsor EV.

The only 12v socket is located below the hand rest, and is rated at a maximum of 120watts.

Sleeping area fit just for kids, at around 5'. Adults may need to use a rooftop tent or camp near the car while camping out in this car.

Just my observations as someone located in a hill station, and who loves to go camping with kids and friends in the summer season. Use cases differ for different people, and no product is perfect, not even my Aria!
