The MG Windsor EV is getting ready for a big update, and if you loved the 38kWh version, you’re going to be even more excited about what’s coming. After its strong success in the market, MG is now preparing to launch a buffed-up version of the Windsor EV, and it’s expected to start arriving at showrooms by August. Let’s cut into everything we know so far.
Battery
One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming Windsor EV is the battery upgrade. MG is swapping out the old 38kWh pack for a bigger 50.6kWh unit. Thanks to this upgrade, the new Windsor EV will offer a claimed range of 460km, which interestingly matches the MG ZS EV’s figure.
Whether the Windsor EV will share the same Permanent Magnet Synchronous (PMS) motor as the ZS EV is still unclear. But if it does, expect an even more refined drive experience. Either way, the motor setup remains a front-wheel drive (FWD) layout.
Performance
In terms of numbers, there won’t be much change. The motor will continue to deliver 131.3bhp and 200Nm of torque, allowing a top speed of 175kmph — identical to the current model’s stats.
Charging times are pretty solid too. Here’s a quick glance:
| Charging Type | Time Taken | Charge Level |
|---|---|---|
| AC Charger | 7 hours | 20 to 100% |
| DC Fast Charger | 30 minutes | 30 to 80% |
This means your Windsor EV will be both road trip and city-commute friendly, offering quick turnarounds at charging stations.
Design
From the outside, don’t expect dramatic changes. The dimensions of the new Windsor EV will remain the same, keeping that compact yet stylish SUV look intact. However, word on the street is that the alloy wheels might get a refreshed design — a small but sweet tweak to keep things looking sharp.
Interior
Inside the cabin, MG is expected to add something everyone’s been waiting for: ADAS. The current Windsor EV lacks this important tech suite, but the update could fix that.
Apart from the addition of ADAS features like lane assist, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control, the rest of the interior layout and features are likely to stay the same. So, comfort and quality will still be a big part of the package.
Price
Now, for the important part — the price. The updated MG Windsor EV is expected to cost about Rs. 4 lakh more than the outgoing top-end variant.
This bump in price would pit it directly against strong rivals like the Tata Curvv.ev with its 55kWh battery and the upcoming Mahindra BE6. It’s shaping up to be a fierce battle in the electric SUV space, and buyers are definitely the real winners here.
With a bigger battery, added safety tech, and minor styling updates, the new Windsor EV looks ready to give competitors a real run for their money. If you’re thinking about switching to electric, August might just be the perfect time to do it!
