MG Windsor EV Pro review: Raising the bar for urban electric mobility

The MG Windsor EV Pro: A well-rounded, practical electric vehicle with enhanced range, safety features, and luxurious cabin comfort.

The MG Windsor EV has been a standout in India’s growing electric vehicle segment, carving a niche for itself as one of the best-selling EVs in the market. Since its launch in September 2024, it has already crossed 20,000 units in cumulative sales, a commendable milestone that underlines its strong consumer acceptance. With the launch of the Windsor EV Pro, MG aims to solidify that success by addressing key demands — more range, enhanced safety, and better in-cabin features — while retaining the core strengths that made the original Windsor popular.

Powered by a 52.9 kWh battery, the Windsor Pro delivers 136 PS and 200 Nm of torque, offering a confident, effortless driving experience. Tested on the roads of Guwahati, the vehicle proved to be impressively agile. The electric drivetrain delivers instant torque, enabling quick acceleration in city traffic and allowing for confident overtaking on highways and smooth climbs up steep inclines.

The light and responsive steering makes the Windsor Pro easy to manoeuvre, especially in urban environments and tight parking spots. Despite being an electric MPV, it never feels bulky or overly large on the road. Ride quality is a highlight with the suspension effectively absorbing road imperfection. It glides over potholes and speed breakers with composure, offering a level of comfort that rivals more expensive premium sedans.

The Windsor Pro also has ample ground clearance, which adds confidence while navigating rough patches or broken tarmac — conditions commonly encountered on Indian roads. Overall, the car feels refined, well-engineered, and extremely user-friendly, delivering an experience that punches well above its segment.

The headline upgrade is the larger 52.9 kWh battery pack, which now delivers a certified MIDC range of 449 km. That is a significant improvement over the earlier version, making the Pro far more versatile for both city and occasional intercity use. It is built on MG’s Global Smart Electric Platform, known for its structural strength and stability.

In terms of safety, the Windsor Pro is equipped with Level 2 ADAS, featuring 12 advanced driver assistance functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Jam Assist, and Lane Keep Assist. On hilly terrain and winding roads, we found the Lane Keep Assist to work effectively, providing subtle but reassuring inputs without being intrusive. Combined with it, features like Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning make the Windsor Pro one of the safest EVs in its class.

The Windsor Pro’s cabin adopts a minimalist, tech-forward approach. Most functions are accessed through the large 15.6-inch touchscreen, which houses over 80 connected car features and supports 100+ AI-based voice commands. While the touchscreen-centric interface might require a bit of familiarisation, the smart button on the steering wheel offers quick access to essential functions, helping streamline the user experience.
