More About The Windsor Pro
The Windsor Pro competes with the likes of the Tata Curvv. EV 55 and the long range Hyundai Creta EV in the Indian market. It packs enough to put up a strong fight.
The biggest upgrade in the Windsor Pro is its new 52.9 kWh battery pack, which replaces the smaller 38 kWh unit found in the standard version. Thanks to this change, the new vehicle offers a notably higher claimed range of 449 kilometres per charge. This makes it a much better option for long drives and highway cruising, especially for those who want a worry-free electric experience.
Fitting the larger battery pack in, has affected the usable boot space marginally. The regular EV offers 604 liters while the Pro has the same reduced to 579L. The revision isn't big enough to be a deal breaker.
The Windsor Pro is only offered on the range-topping Essence trim. MG has reserved the larger battery exclusively for this top variant, which makes sense given the growing demand for longer-range electric vehicles in India. The electric motor has, however, had no upgrade, and continues to produce the same 134 bhp and 200 Nm of torque, as the standard Windsor.
To help it stand apart, MG has introduced three exclusive new exterior colours on the Windsor Pro: Glaze Red, Aurora Silver, and Celadon Blue.
The interior has undergone a stylish transformation as well. The earlier all-black layout has been replaced with a new dual-tone Ivory colour scheme, which is brighter and feels more inviting. The cabin also features faux wood trim and copper accents for increased visual appeal.
