The MG Windsor EV has become one of the most attractive options for EVs among electric vehicle buyers, since its launch in September 2024. The EV was launched at the starting price of Rs 13.50 lakh, ex-showroom with the fixed battery, and BaaS subscription starting from 9.99 lakh, ex-showroom + Rs 3.5 per Km. 

Price Hike: Due to its rising demand and popularity, MG Windsor prices have increased. The Windsor EV now starts at Rs 14 Lakh, ex-showroom, with the fixed battery and Rs 9.99 lakh + 3.9 per Km for the BaaS.

The price hike has not affected the popularity of the MG Windsor, as it still remains one of the most value-for-money models in the passenger electric vehicle market. 

Variants & Powertrains: The MG Windsor is powered by a 38 kWh battery pack and generates 134 Bhp of peak power and 200 Nm of torque. It is available in three variants to choose from: Excite, Exclusive and Essence. In fact, the top spec Windsor EV Essence is the most value for money variant in the lineup.

Essence Variant Price

The Essence variant is the top of the line variant in the Windsor lineup and is priced at Rs 16 lakh, ex-showroom, with the fixed battery option, while with the BaaS, top spec is priced at Rs 12 Lakh + Rs 3.9 per Km. 

The Essence variant is more expensive by Rs 1 Lakh than the Exclusive variant, which is the second to top variant in the lineup, but the essence variant gets a lot of features and justifies the price tag.
