MG Windsor Pro prices hiked by Rs 60,000: Here’s why

MG Motor has concluded the introductory pricing for the Windsor Pro electric vehicle just 24 hours after bookings opened. The launch offer of Rs 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 8,000 units has been replaced with a new price of Rs 18.10 lakh (ex-showroom), marking a Rs 60,000 hike. The company confirmed that all 8,000 units were booked on May 8, the first day of availability.

The Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) plan has also been updated. While the battery rental rate remains at Rs 4.5 per kilometre, the vehicle’s starting price under this scheme has increased from Rs 12.50 lakh to Rs 13.09 lakh.

The Windsor Pro is powered by a 52.9 kWh battery, offering a claimed range of 449 km per charge. It uses a motor rated at 136 hp and 200 Nm of torque. Charging options include a 7.4kW AC charger that takes approximately 9.5 hours and a 60kW DC fast charger that charges from 20% to 80% in 50 minutes.

New features include Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging functions. The model also receives updated 18-inch alloy wheels and three new paint options: Celadon Blue, Glaze Red, and Aurora Silver. The interior now sports a dual-tone ivory and black theme.

Existing features such as the 15.6-inch touchscreen, 8.8-inch digital display, panoramic sunroof, wireless charger, 9-speaker Infinity audio system, 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake, and six airbags remain. A powered tailgate is a new addition.

A key upgrade is the addition of ADAS Level 2, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, autonomous emergency braking, and other driver assistance technologies.
