MG Motor India is preparing to expand its electric vehicle portfolio with the launch of the new MG Windsor Pro, an advanced electric SUV that is reportedly equipped with a larger battery pack than its segment competitor, the Tata Nexon.ev. With this move, MG seeks to reinforce its position in the increasingly competitive Indian EV market by offering greater range and superior electric powertrain performance.
Bigger Battery, Higher Range
According to sources close to the development, the MG Windsor Pro is expected to be powered by a larger capacity battery, potentially exceeding the 40.5 kWh battery used in the long-range version of the Tata Nexon.ev. This upgrade could translate to a real-world driving range of over 450 kilometers on a single charge under standard test conditions.
The inclusion of a larger battery will not only enhance range but is also expected to support faster charging capabilities. MG is likely to include DC fast charging support and offer multiple charging options, including portable home chargers and wall-mounted AC chargers.
Platform and Design
While official images of the Windsor Pro are yet to be released, early leaks suggest that it will share design language with MG’s global EV models but with India-specific adaptations. Expect a sleek aerodynamic profile, LED lighting elements, and a tech-focused interior with a large infotainment screen, digital instrument cluster, and connected car features.
MG is also expected to offer ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features, multiple airbags, 360-degree camera, and a full suite of safety systems to cater to the evolving expectations of Indian customers.
Market Position and Competition
The Windsor Pro will be positioned above the existing MG Comet EV and MG ZS EV in terms of technology and pricing. It is clearly being developed to compete directly with high-volume players like the Tata Nexon.ev, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Mahindra XUV400.
By offering a bigger battery and potentially longer range, MG aims to attract buyers who are seeking a reliable EV for both city commutes and inter-city travel. Pricing is likely to start around ₹18 lakh and may go up to ₹22 lakh for higher variants, depending on the battery pack and feature levels.
Launch Timeline
Although MG has not yet confirmed the official launch date, market insiders suggest that the Windsor Pro could be unveiled by late 2025, with deliveries expected to begin shortly thereafter. The model is currently undergoing advanced road tests and homologation processes.
Conclusion
MG Motor India’s upcoming Windsor Pro promises to be a significant addition to the Indian electric vehicle landscape. With a larger battery than its rivals and a focus on range, performance, and features, the Windsor Pro could attract EV buyers looking for an upgrade from current offerings. More details are expected to emerge in the coming months as the official launch approaches.
