MG Windsor EV: Launch Date Confirmed, Details Inside

British carmaker, MG Motor India, has finally unveiled the launch date of its much-anticipated electric vehicle, the Windsor EV. Set to hit Indian roads on September 11, 2024, the Windsor EV promises to blend British design aesthetics with cutting-edge Chinese technology.

A British Name, Chinese Roots

While the name “Windsor” evokes images of royal elegance and British heritage, the Windsor EV’s DNA can be traced back to its Chinese parent company, SAIC Motor. Based on the popular Wuling Cloud EV, the Windsor is essentially a rebadged version tailored for the Indian market.

SUV-Inspired Design

The Windsor EV boasts a crossover-inspired design, blending the comfort of a sedan with the practicality of an SUV. Its dimensions – 4,295 mm in length, 1,850 mm in width, and 1,652 mm in height – place it squarely in the compact SUV segment, rivalling popular models like the Hyundai Creta and Tata Curvv.

Feature-Packed Cabin

Step inside the Windsor EV, and you’ll find a cabin designed to impress. A 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system takes center stage, complemented by an 8.8-inch instrument cluster. Other notable features include a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, a powerful audio system, and an array of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

One of the standout features is the “Sofa Mode” rear seats, offering exceptional comfort and legroom. The use of premium materials like Italian leatherette upholstery further enhances the overall cabin experience.

Performance and Range

Powering the Windsor EV is a 50.6 kWh battery pack, similar to the one found in the Wuling Cloud EV. This setup is expected to deliver a driving range of around 460 kilometers on a single charge. The electric motor generates a healthy 136 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque, ensuring brisk performance.

Conclusion

The MG Windsor EV is undoubtedly a vehicle to watch out for. With its striking design, feature-rich interior, and promising performance, it has the potential to disrupt the Indian electric vehicle market. As we draw closer to the launch date, anticipation for this new contender is building up rapidly.
