JSW MG Motor India recently launched the Windsor EV in India. At its launch, the company initially announced prices for the entry-level variant, which, at Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom), was surprisingly low thanks to its ‘battery as a service” (BaaS) model, where customers have the option to subscribe to the battery at a fee of Rs 3.50 per km. Now, MG has revealed the full purchase price of the Windsor EV, which includes the cost of the battery pack. For those not keen on the BaaS model, the Windsor EV starts at Rs 13.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The variant-wise pricing details are as follows:
| Variants | Price (ex-showroom) |
| Excite | Rs 13.50 lakh |
| Exclusive | Rs 14.50 lakh |
| Essence | Rs 15.50 lakh |
On the design front, the MG Windsor is based on SAIC’s Wuling Cloud EV, available in various global markets. The exterior design closely resembles its sister model, featuring a prominent bumper, low-set headlamps, and a high-set LED light bar. However, the Windsor EV differentiates itself with more extensive use of gloss black elements on the exterior.
