MG Windsor EV
The MG Windsor EV is a five-seat electric crossover built for Indian families who want cabin space and a comfortable daily commute more than outright range, priced from Rs 14,69,800 (ex-showroom) for the 38 kWh Excite up to Rs 18,99,800 for the 52.9 kWh Essence Pro. The 38 kWh variants (Excite, Exclusive, Essence) carry a 331 km ARAI-claimed range that has not been independently tested, while the larger 52.9 kWh Pro variants (Exclusive Pro, Essence Pro) are ARAI-rated at 449 km and have returned about 400 km in real-world testing. A Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) plan can also bring the entry price down to around Rs 9.99 lakh by separating the battery cost from the car's purchase price.
Is the MG Windsor EV right for you?
Best for
- Buyers doing mostly city or intra-city commutes, where the 38 kWh variant's 331 km ARAI-claimed range comfortably covers daily driving with room to spare
- Families who prioritise rear-seat comfort and cabin space, thanks to the Windsor's reclining aero-lounge rear seats and airy five-seat layout
- Buyers who want to lower the upfront cost through the BaaS route (entry price around Rs 9.99 lakh) and are fine paying a recurring per-km battery rental instead of owning the battery outright
- Buyers who want the most range headroom and are willing to pay up to Rs 18,99,800 for the 52.9 kWh Pro, the only version with an independently tested real-world range (about 400 km) plus Level-2 ADAS and V2L/V2V power output
Think twice if
- Frequent highway drivers on the base 38 kWh variants, since a 331 km ARAI-claimed range (not independently tested) leaves little margin for long, high-speed runs
- Buyers who fast-charge often on the road, since DC charging on the Windsor tops out around 45-60 kW, slower than several rivals, and the base Excite's onboard AC charger is on the slower side too
- Buyers who want to own their battery outright without a recurring cost, since the cheaper BaaS entry price comes with an ongoing per-km rental that adds up over the car's life

Charging and living with it
Charging: 0-100% in ~6.5h on 7.4kW AC; ~20-80% in ~50 min on 45-60kW DC. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Home charging on a 7.4 kW AC point is the practical daily routine for the Windsor EV, taking about 6.5 hours for a full charge on the 38 kWh pack; treat DC fast charging (45-60 kW peak) as a top-up option for longer trips rather than a daily habit, since it is slower than some rivals' fast-charging speeds.
5-year cost of ownership
Based on 40 km/day, the MG Windsor EV Excite (38 kWh) costs about ₹1,600/month to run versus ₹8,400/month for a comparable petrol car, a saving of ₹82,733/year at July 2026 prices.
| Monthly | Annual | 5-year | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | ₹8,400 | ₹1,02,200 | ₹5,11,000 |
| EV | ₹1,600 | ₹19,467 | ₹97,335 |
| You save | ₹6,800 | ₹82,733 | ₹4,13,665 |

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the MG Windsor EV, not just the ARAI figure?
Only the 52.9 kWh Pro variants (Exclusive Pro, Essence Pro) have an independently tested real-world range, at around 400 km, against an ARAI-claimed 449 km. The 38 kWh variants (Excite, Exclusive, Essence) are rated 331 km ARAI, but that figure has not been independently verified in real-world conditions, so treat it as a claimed number rather than a tested one.
Which MG Windsor EV variant should I buy?
If your daily driving stays within city limits and occasional short trips, the 38 kWh Excite or Exclusive covers that on the claimed 331 km ARAI range at a lower price. If you drive longer distances regularly or want a buffer against range anxiety, the 52.9 kWh Exclusive Pro or Essence Pro is the safer pick, since it is the only version with a real-world tested range (about 400 km) and it adds Level-2 ADAS and V2L/V2V power output.
How long does the MG Windsor EV take to charge?
For the 38 kWh variants, a full 0-100% charge takes about 6.5 hours on a 7.4 kW AC home charger, while a DC fast charger (45-60 kW) can take it from 20-80% in around 50 minutes. The 52.9 kWh Pro variants support 7.4 kW AC home charging and CCS2 DC fast charging, though MG has not published exact fast-charge timings for this pack, and DC charging speeds across the range peak around 45-60 kW, slower than some rivals.
What is Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) and does it save money on the Windsor EV?
BaaS lets you buy the Windsor EV without owning the battery outright, which brings the entry price down to around Rs 9.99 lakh instead of Rs 14,69,800. In exchange, you pay a recurring per-km battery rental on top of that lower purchase price, so it can suit buyers who want a smaller upfront outlay, but it adds an ongoing running cost that owning the battery avoids over time.
How does the MG Windsor EV compare on value across its 5 variants?
The Windsor EV spans Rs 14,69,800 to Rs 18,99,800 ex-showroom across 5 variants built on two battery packs: a 38 kWh pack (331 km ARAI) in the Excite, Exclusive and Essence, and a 52.9 kWh Pro pack (449 km ARAI, about 400 km tested) in the Exclusive Pro and Essence Pro. All variants use the same 100 kW motor, so the meaningful choice is battery size and range versus trim features like ADAS, not performance.
