MG Motor India has formally stepped into the electric MPV segment with the introduction of the Windsor EV Pro, available from ₹17.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The all-electric, 7-seater family people mover is MG’s response to the increasing need for roomy, practical, and environmentally friendly family cars.
A daring step into the EV MPV arena
The Windsor EV Pro is based on a very clear objective: to combine practicality with sustainability. It’s not merely an MPV that does just happen to be electric — it’s designed from the ground up to be a intelligent, networked, and future-proof EV. The pricing puts it on an even footing, particularly given its high-end features and respectable claimed range.
Design that works for families
MG has kept things simple but functional. The Windsor EV Pro is given a crisp, contemporary look with LED lighting and upright posture that suggests its spacious cabin accommodation. It is not sporty by any means, but the design is unambiguously communicating with urban family buyers and fleet customers on the lookout for something practical but stylish.
Under the hood, the EV Pro provides:
- Spacious 7-seat accommodation
- Captain seats in the second row (upper trim)
- Large touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Digital instrument cluster
- Connected features through MG’s i-SMART suite
Performance and Range
Under the hood — or more accurately, under the floor — the Windsor EV Pro has a 50+ kWh battery pack, and it promises a claimed range of up to 380 km on a full charge. The motor produces instant torque, which should make city driving silky smooth and hassle-free.
MG indicates the Windsor is also capable of fast charging, charging 0–80% in less than an hour with a DC fast charger. Home owners can use a normal AC charger, taking longer but meeting overnight charging requirements.
Safety and tech you’d expect
MG has equipped the EV Pro with safety tech, such as:
- Six airbags
- ESC, ABS with EBD
- 360-degree camera
- TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
- Hill hold assist
The associated features also comprise over-the-air updates and smartphone remote controls — a hallmark MG experience.
Variants and pricing
MG launches with two variants:
| Variant | Pricing (Ex-Showroom) |
| EV Pro Base | ₹17.49 lakh |
| EV Pro Plus | ₹19.99 lakh |
The Plus version comes with additional creature comforts as well as premium technology features.
Who is it for?
The MG Windsor EV Pro fits the bill for big families seeking to make the switch to electric without sacrificing space. It also suits taxi aggregators and fleet operators who desire lower operating expenses and a more environmentally friendly profile.
Competitors and market standing
The nearest competitor is the BYD e6, but it’s more expensive. Future electric SUVs such as the Tata Safari EV will also find similar customers. But in the area of pure MPV configuration with electric drive, MG is making a niche for itself here.
