MG Motor has introduced the Windsor EV Pro Essence as the latest and top-spec addition to its electric vehicle lineup. Now officially available at dealerships, this new variant brings improved range, advanced features, and cosmetic upgrades, aiming to appeal to EV buyers seeking practicality and a more premium ownership experience.
Fresh Design Elements with New Color Options
While the overall styling of the Windsor EV remains consistent, the Essence Pro variant comes with a few cosmetic upgrades.
Most notably, it receives new 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and an ‘ADAS’ badge on the tailgate, hinting at the safety enhancements within. Buyers can also choose from three new exterior shades—Celadon Blue, Glaze Red, and Aurora Silver—which add a modern flair to the car’s presence on the road. Inside, MG now offers a fresh Ivory White and Black dual-tone cabin, elevating the interior ambiance.

Despite the difference in battery size, both variants use the same 136 PS electric motor, generating 200 Nm of torque.

The introductory price of ₹12.50 lakh for the first 8,000 units has already been fully claimed within 24 hours of launch.
Rivals and Segment Positioning
The Windsor EV Pro continues to compete with models like the Tata Nexon EV, Mahindra XUV400, and MG ZS EV, offering a middle ground between value-driven compact EVs and larger premium electric SUVs. With its blend of affordability, extended range, and robust feature list, the new Essence Pro makes a compelling case for buyers wanting a practical yet sophisticated electric vehicle.
With the launch of the Essence Pro, MG is pushing the Windsor EV deeper into the mainstream, offering more range and tech without straying far from its price-conscious positioning. Interested buyers can now visit their nearest dealership for bookings and test drives.
