MG Motor India is set to introduce the Windsor EV, a new electric vehicle that combines sedan and SUV attributes, to its domestic lineup. Internationally known as the Cloud EV, the Windsor EV is currently undergoing rigorous testing and will be positioned between the Comet and ZS EV. The global model offers two battery options: a 37.9kWh pack providing a range of 360km and a 50.6kWh pack with a range of up to 460km. Both variants are equipped with a 132bhp front-axle-mounted electric motor. While specific details for the Indian market have not been released, it is anticipated that MG will offer the 50.6kWh battery option.
Satinder Singh Bajwa, Chief Commercial Officer, JSW MG Motor India, said: 'We are excited to reveal the name of our upcoming CUV: MG Windsor. The Windsor Castle is renowned worldwide as a symbol of royalty and glory, which reflects in every detail of this CUV that exudes excellent craftsmanship, premiumness and, spaciousness. The advanced tech offerings and the futuristic aerodynamic exterior further add to the appeal of the car. The MG Windsor caters to consumers who seek best of both worlds – comfort of a sedan and the expanse of an SUV.'

Design-wise, the Windsor EV is expected to adopt a modern aesthetic with prominent elements like a broad air dam, integrated spoiler, and sleek LED lighting, including split headlamps and a full-width DRL.
