The newly launched MG Windsor EV is built on the ‘Pure EV Platform,’ designed to offer a premium, business-class driving experience. Essentially a rebadged version of the Wuling Cloud EV, which is popular in global markets, the Windsor follows MG’s Aero Glide design language. It features a sleek, modern look with key elements like a full-width light bar at both the front and rear, an illuminated MG logo, and flush-fitting door handles. The wide-sloped windscreen, short hood, 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and vertically stacked headlamps give the Windsor a distinct and stylish appearance.
The MG Windsor EV is powered by a PMS motor, which is IP67 certified for added durability. It features a 38kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers impressive performance with 100 kW (136 PS) of power and 200 Nm of instant torque. The vehicle offers four driving modes—Eco+, Eco, Normal, and Sport—catering to different driving preferences. With a range of 331 km on a single charge, the Windsor can also be quickly recharged in just 40 minutes using any DC fast charger, making it a practical option for both city and long-distance travel.
