The MG Windsor EV is gearing up for a major update in 2025. Recently spied under heavy camouflage, the new Windsor promises to deliver more value, convenience, and range for Indian EV buyers. While the design retains similarities to the outgoing model, the real upgrades are under the skin. From a larger battery pack to the addition of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality and possible ADAS features, MG aims to raise the bar in the affordable electric SUV segment.
Let’s dive into all the details surrounding the 2025 MG Windsor EV.
Vehicle-To-Load (V2L) Feature: A First For MG Windsor
One of the biggest takeaways from the latest spy shots is the presence of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology—a feature currently not available in the existing MG Windsor lineup.
What is V2L Technology?
V2L allows the vehicle’s battery to act as a power source for external devices. From charging your laptop to powering camping gear or even home appliances during a blackout, this feature is increasingly becoming desirable in modern EVs.
If implemented, this tech will make the MG Windsor EV more versatile, especially for families, travelers, or individuals living in areas with frequent power cuts.
Bigger 50.6 kWh Battery Pack Likely To Offer 460 Km Range
The 2025 Windsor EV is expected to be offered with an upgraded 50.6 kWh battery pack, similar to the one used in the Wuling Cloud EV in global markets.
| Specification | Current MG Windsor | 2025 MG Windsor (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Capacity | 38 kWh | 50.6 kWh |
| Electric Motor | 1 | 1 |
| Power Output | 136 PS | 136 PS |
| Torque | 200 Nm | 200 Nm |
| Claimed Range | 332 km (ARAI) | 460 km (CLTC) |
| Drivetrain | FWD | FWD |
The bigger battery is expected to improve range significantly—up to 460 km (CLTC). While the motor and drivetrain remain unchanged, this added range makes the Windsor a more practical choice for long-distance commutes and travel.
Subtle But Modern Design Updates
Even though the test mule was heavily camouflaged, a few existing design cues such as LED DRLs, flush door handles, and connected LED tail lights remain. While the overall design may look similar, we expect MG to refine aerodynamics and enhance exterior appeal subtly to keep the model fresh.
Expected Feature Additions: Power Seats & ADAS
If MG follows the international-spec Wuling Cloud EV, the updated Windsor may also come with:
-
4-way powered co-driver’s seat
-
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including:
-
Adaptive cruise control
-
Lane keep assist
-
Automatic emergency braking
-
Forward collision warning
-
These upgrades could make the 2025 Windsor one of the most feature-rich electric vehicles in its price range.
Features Likely To Be Carried Forward
Many of the current features on the MG Windsor EV are expected to carry over to the 2025 model, including:
-
15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system
-
8.8-inch digital driver’s display
-
Fixed panoramic glass roof
-
Wireless phone charging
-
9-speaker Infinity sound system
-
256-color ambient lighting
-
Automatic AC with rear vents
Safety Remains A Priority
The 2025 Windsor EV is also expected to retain its comprehensive safety suite:
-
Six airbags (standard)
-
360-degree camera
-
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
-
Electronic Parking Brake
-
Front and rear parking sensors
Combined with potential ADAS features, safety on the updated Windsor EV will meet modern expectations.
Expected Pricing: Worth The Premium?
Currently, the MG Windsor EV is priced between ₹14 lakh and ₹16 lakh (ex-showroom). With battery subscription, the entry-level variant starts at ₹10 lakh + ₹3.5/km battery rental.
2025 Price Prediction:
Due to feature additions and a larger battery pack, the updated Windsor could carry a premium of ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh over current prices. However, this would still place it competitively against rivals.
Rivals: Still A Contender In The EV Arena
The MG Windsor EV continues to compete directly with:
-
Tata Nexon EV
-
Mahindra XUV400 EV
With more range and modern tech, the Windsor could reclaim ground in this fast-growing segment.
