MG Motor India has officially launched its much-awaited Windsor EV.
JSW MG Motor India has officially launched its much-awaited Windsor EV at a starting price of INR 9.99 lakh, ex-showroom. It should be noted that this cost does not include the cost of the battery pack. Besides that, the Windsor EV offers a battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program. This program allows buyers to lower their acquisition costs by opting to pay per km for the battery at INR 3.5 per km. Positioned between the MG Comet EV and ZS EV in the company’s electric vehicle lineup, the Windsor EV is named after Windsor Castle. This new EV is essentially a rebadged version of the Wuling Cloud EV sold overseas albeit with a different powertrain.

Pre-bookings for the MG Windsor EV have commenced, with exclusive test drives starting from September 25th. Official bookings open on October 3rd, and deliveries are scheduled to begin from October 12th. The Windsor EV is available in three variants and four colour options. The manufacturer will announce the variant-wise pricing for the model soon.
