Prices for the MG Windsor EV now start at Rs 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

JSW MG Motor India has increased the prices of the Windsor EV by Rs 50,000. This not only marks the end of the introductory pricing, but also the complimentary charging offer.

The MG Windsor EV was launched in September last year. The introductory pricing was valid on the first 10,000 units. This milestone was achieved in December.

The Windsor EV is available in Excite, Exclusive and Essence variants. Prices now start at Rs 13.99 lakh, while the mid-spec and top variants cost Rs 14.99 lakh and Rs 15.99 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively.

The Windsor EV packs a 38 kWh battery that is said to deliver a range of 332 km. It powers an electric motor with an output of 134 BHP and 200 Nm. The car has four driving modes: Eco+, Eco, Normal and Sport. It supports DC fast charging, which takes 40 minutes to charge the battery pack.

The free charging offer that was available through the MG e-hub app has also ended. It was available to customers who took delivery of their Windsor EV before December 31, 2024.

I am confused between Punch ev adventure Long Range and New Mg Windsor base variant. This car is meant strictly as a daily commute vehicle.

BHPian anilntny recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

This car is meant strictly as a daily commute vehicle. Considering ev, as my Jeep crossed 50000 km in just 2 years. I am confused between Punch ev adventure Long Range and New Mg Windsor base variant. Visited Tata showrooms twice, very lukewarm response. Also horrifying stories about them. Please advise me to make a wise decision.

Here's what BHPian shankar.balan shared regarding this matter:

I am a Hyundai Kona EV owner and am extremely happy with it. But sadly, this is discontinued. It is very well put together, offers excellent comfort and value and after all, was built for Europe and hence feels absolutely solid. Ive owned it 9 months and love it to bits.

There is an article on Cartoq which says that MG Windsor is coming along with a nice new bigger battery which will increase its range. It is a fantastically comfortable (Club Class) vehicle and perfect for families. Well put together. But I would buy only the top most variant.

I would not go near Tata EV - because as Ive written elsewhere, basis my repeated, successive experiences at their showrooms; they just do not seem interested in the walk-in customers, prospects and if their sales attitude itself is this lackadaisical and disinterested, then I shudder to think of the treatment we will get when going for servicing. So, much as I like the look of their designs and all, Im not going back there.

I would however, definitely consider MG because there is such a huge difference in their attitude and because their product is extremely well put together. Having used many many BluSmart ZS EVs and test driven them and their Comet etc, I actually like and appreciate what MG has done in India. And the BlueSmart Cab chaps all speak well of the Service. That counts for a lot.

The Kia EV6 AWD is fabulous. And right now they are selling at a fantastic 20 lacs off from all accounts. Delicious car. Porsche Taycan looks and nearly as good performance, at a fraction of the price.

The Hyundai Ioniq5 is superb and apparently they too are selling at a fat discount (maybe same as Kia).

I will be very keen to see what the Creta EV is like.
I will also be very keen to see what the Maruti Grand Vitara EV is like.
I am very sure that both of the above will be well put together and will be very good cars with good sales and servicing.

Citroen is very comfortable and well built and has lots going for it. Lovely brand with a deep history of classy engineering and innovation. But these blighters at Stellantis and their overall strategy is unclear. I love the Brand Citroen. But they don’t seem to have ‘caught on’ much. Yet they are (purely as a product) worthy of thought.

I am deeply appreciative of BYD and the quality and technology that they bring to the table and the experiences with the BYD E6 and all as Airport Transfer vehicles. I did find the Atto3 a little over the top in design. But one can live with that. The BYD Seal on the other hand is face-peelingly fast. And looks wonderful. I love it.

Ive used many BYDs abroad as Uber Taxis and the Seal, the Han and all their line up are fantastic. They are superior, in my view, to Lord Muskymusk’s Tesla (which also I have used many times when abroad and have driven too, in America and Europe.)

I would like to wait for the new generation Mahindra EV’s to be launched on the roads. I was very impressed with the XUV400 EV and its phenomenal ride quality in particular because of its Frequency Dependent Dampers.

The only fear that I have with Mahindra is the fact that their service centres are swamped with their old gen vehicles, their commercial vehicles, the zillions of new Thars and XUV700’s and Thar Roxx’s and all. So I wonder how they will handle the knowledge transfers, training, spares, servicing and care of all their new gen EV’s. Typical consumer behaviour with Mahindra would be to wait and watch for 1-2 years before jumping into purchase.

So thats my take and I hope it helps you.
Sorry for not voting on any of your choices and Sorry also if I ended up confusing you.

Meanwhile here's what BHPian Shreyans_Jain had to say:

eC3 is totally obsolete and irrelevant. Don’t bother.

Nexon EV over Punch EV for the bigger 45kwh battery and faster charging speeds. A nicer cabin, more features and more power are added bonus.

Nexon vs Windsor is interesting. Primarily comes down to the space requirements, especially the rear seat. If your usage involves more than 2 people frequently, you may be better off with the MG. It is better for family use, whereas Nexon’s rear seat space and seating is pretty bad. If the back seat will not be used regularly, I’ll say pick Nexon.

Budget permitting, it makes sense to wait for the upcoming Mahindra BE6E.

Here's what BHPian electric_eel replied:

I would vote Punch EV 35 KWh pack among the choices here. As a daily commuter I think it is the car with the right size and you can easily get 230 kms of range for 10-100% SoC in city traffic. But here are some points to consider.

1. Checkout out the ergonomics in general. My biggest complaint about Nexon EV Max that I have is the ergonomics. I am not really sure of how good Punch EV is in this dept but when it comes to Punch petrol vs Nexon Petrol there is no doubt that Punch Petrol has much better ergonomics. If there are older folks they will definitely appreciate the better ingress and egress

2. As much as I hate the styling, the new range of Mahindra EVs are something to look at seriously. They have better batteries, faster charging and all the bells and whistles that you can ask for, and are priced very well. Now you might be saying that it is for the usual commute but when you start owning and EV you will definitely want to take it for your longer trips. The fantastic drive train, the cabin silence, the ease of single gear transmission together with breath taking torque is something no ICE at this price point can match. The fast charging network is growing fast and with close to 500 Kms range the Mahindra EVs are definitely something that you should think about.

3. I am assuming you have a good story when it comes to home (slow) charging. This is a very important feature of EVs in general and unless you get this sorted out you will not enjoy the ownership much.

I understand you are located in Kerala. Fast charging network is extensive in the South of India and as such you can consider one of the bigger EVs as well.

When it comes to the pricing, the three variants - Excite, Exclusive and Essence - are priced with an increment of Rs 1 lakh.

BHPian Ripcord09 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

The MG Windsor is the brand’s 3rd electric car in India (Review Link). MG calls it a crossover utility vehicle and it offers a spacious cabin. It is also loaded with tech and features. Along with the Windsor, MG introduced a unique way of owning electric vehicles by providing battery as a service. You can also buy the car upfront at the prices mentioned below.

There are a total of 3 variants on offer. Here's a deep dive into all the variants to help you identify the most valuable trim for your preferences.

Conclusion

With three variants on offer, you are not spoilt for choice like some other EVs on sale. Even when it comes to the pricing, the three variants are priced with an increment of Rs. 1 lakh. The base Excite variant offers all the necessary features and is good if you're on a budget.

The mid-spec Exclusive variant offers the most value among the three as expected. It comes with all the essential and nice-to-have features. This variant also offers the whole shebang of MG-connected apps for those who like to interact with their car through smart devices.

Given that the top-spec variant is priced at only Rs. 1 lakh more than the mid-spec variant, most people wouldn't mind making that jump. You get the fully loaded car with a 9-speaker Infinity audio system, ventilated seats, glass roof and most importantly, faster AC charging.

Do let us know what you think is the most value-for-money variant and also if you had to buy the MG Windsor, which variant would you pick?

Here's what BHPian GoBabyGo had to say about the matter:

Hi, Windsor EV 38kWh is a brilliant product, no matter whichever product one compare with.

However, I would wait for 50kWh battery pack of Windsor EV to launch and then would pick Exclusive variant as a single garage car for my specific usage (99% city drive and occassionally highway drive within 350km one way).

I personally feel glass roof is a bad choice in NCR, where temperature remain above 35 degree almost 9 months and go above 40 degree for 5 to 6 months

Here's what BHPian thomahawk had to say about the matter:

Voted Exclusive. Glass roof should have been an option on top of the fully loaded variant. Otherwise it is always the top variant for me.

Here's what BHPian VWAllstar had to say about the matter:

Would prefer the top of the line Essence. The glass roof is a novelty however it has its own demerits. With 17 Lakhs on road (Mumbai) this feels like a 1RK on wheels. I wish it had a 50 kW battery pack even if it was a Lakh more expensive.

Here's what BHPian shubhank008 had to say about the matter:

The Green color was my (wife's) personal choice for going for top variant, else I was content with mid one.

One thing to keep in mind is, the price diff is 1 Lac but the 7KW charger alone is worth 40-50k INR, which even if you sell off can net you some good 25-30k easily, maybe more.

So basically rest of the features you are paying like 70k net.

Personally out of all the extra features, my goto feature was Ventilated Seats due to Delhi Summers.

PM2.5 or Sunroof is good but not deal breaker.

The R18 tires also give the car a better look and road presence, but again not deal breaker.

Even if the usage of the electric vehicle is as a city car, who wants to charge it all the time?

BHPian Newtown recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I was inquisitive about the MG Windsor EV and went to see it at the showroom.

1. Externally it looks much bigger in person
2. The wheels look gigantic. Almost makes it look like a Mars Rover.
3. The instrument cluster is smaller than some large cell phones. It gets completely lost at some angles.
4. The quilt-look-finish black seats are overdone and make things look very cramped. Not to mention the huge obstruction between the 2 seats. Felt very claustrophobic.
5. Having a battery below means thigh support is compromised.
6. Not a good idea to omit power seats on the passenger side.
7. Fit and finish was excellent.
8. Interior materials seem hard wearing although tastes of design and color are subjective.
9. The boot space is usable and good. Despite the battery, it has some depth to it as well.
10. No spare in the boot as there is a subwoofer. A spare can be bought as an accessory.
11. Slightly larger battery MG? Even if the use case is a city car, who wants to be charging it all the time? Real world 300 km is not enough for a day trip to Poona and back.

Best usage:

1. Home chores within the city
2. Kids to school & activities
3. An executive being driven to work in the city would perhaps prefer something a little more let me say "executive"

NOTE - This introductory pricing for battery usage does not sit well. They are not contractually obligating themselves to that pricing for a fixed period like 2 years or 5 years. I specifically asked and they sheepishly told me that this would see an increase. Perhaps they decided to take a leaf out of the book of one of India's leading business houses that employs the same strategy.
