The MG Windsor will soon be updated with a larger battery pack option, our sources have indicated. Along with this crucial mechanical update, the Windsor is also expected to benefit from the addition of new features, and the launch is expected as soon as next month.
- New 50.6kWh battery pack expected on the Windsor
- New feature additions expected to include an ADAS suite
- Updated Windsor launch expected next month
Updated MG Windsor: what to expect?
The Windsor is currently sold in India with a 38kWh battery pack, but it also gets a larger 50.6kWh battery in Indonesia where it is sold as the Wuling Cloud EV. This same battery will make it to the India-spec model which has a claimed range of 460km on the CLTC cycle. For reference, the existing 38kWh battery on the Windsor returns a range of 332km (ARAI-rated).
The power and torque figures of 136hp and 200Nm, however, are expected to remain unchanged with the larger battery, as will the front-wheel drive configuration. Our sources have also indicated at an updated features list, chief of which will be the inclusion of an ADAS suite.
New battery could bring a notable update to real-world range
In our real-world efficiency tests, the Windsor fared really well, returning an efficiency of 8.1km/kWh and a total real-world range figure of 308km – just 24km off from the claimed figure. For reference, The Nexon EV with a larger 45kWh battery returned a real world range 350km, but with a lower efficiency of 7.79km/kWh. The larger battery could take the Windsor’s range closer to 400km, probably making it viable even for trips outside the city.
MG Windsor sales in India
It is currently outselling the Nexon EV
Since its launch in September 2024, the Windsor alone has given significant boost to MG’s sales in India. In the seven months it has been on sale in FY2025, the Windsor sold 19,394 units, averaging more than 2,700 units a month. More importantly, it has consistently been outselling its chief rival, the Tata Nexon EV, which was for long the undisputed best seller in the EV segment. The addition of the larger battery surely will give an impetus to sales as well. The Windsor is currently priced between Rs 14 lakh and Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom). Expect a reasonable bump in price as well.
