The third electric car from MG India, the MG Windsor EV is getting ready to make its debut over the holiday season. A teaser film featuring the Windsor EV being tested in Ladakh's high-altitude passes, Chang La and Wari La was just posted by MG. The electric vehicle showed its strength and capacity by navigating the challenging terrain even with its heavy disguise.
An Electric Crossover with Promising Features
The MG Windsor EV is expected to fill the gap between MG’s more affordable Comet EV and the flagship ZS EV. Although the exact specifications for the Indian market have not been revealed yet, it is anticipated that the Windsor EV will share its powertrain with the Wuling Cloud EV, which is available in Indonesia.
The Indonesian version of the Wuling Cloud EV is equipped with a 50.6 kWh battery pack that powers a single motor mounted on the front axle. This setup produces 136 PS of power and 200 Nm of torque. The claimed range of the Wuling Cloud EV is 460 kilometers according to the China Light Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC). However, this range might differ in India, where the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) will conduct the tests.
Luxurious and Tech-Savvy Interior
Inside, the MG Windsor EV is expected to be well-appointed with several modern features. These include a large 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8.8-inch digital driver’s display, wireless phone charging, multi-color ambient lighting, and electrically adjustable front seats. The vehicle is also likely to come with an electric tailgate, adding to its convenience and luxury.
Safety and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Safety is a priority for MG, and the Windsor EV is expected to come with a comprehensive suite of safety features. These include six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an electronic parking brake, and a 360-degree camera. Additionally, the Windsor EV might feature advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, enhancing both safety and driving ease.
Expected Launch and Competition
The MG Windsor EV is slated to be launched during the festive season, with prices expected to start from Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom). This positions the Windsor EV as a more affordable alternative to the MG ZS EV while providing a premium option in comparison to other electric vehicles like the Tata Nexon EV and the Mahindra XUV400 EV.
In Summary, With its upcoming launch, the MG Windsor EV is set to make a significant impact in the Indian electric vehicle market. Its recent testing in the harsh terrains of Ladakh showcases its durability and readiness for diverse driving conditions. As MG continues to expand its electric vehicle portfolio in India, the Windsor EV promises to offer a blend of affordability, luxury, and advanced technology, making it a highly anticipated addition to the electric vehicle segment.
