The MG Windsor EV is JSW MG Motor's volume-EV bet for the Indian market, launched in September 2024. It is positioned as a "Crossover Utility Vehicle" with a tall MPV-leaning silhouette, marketed as an "aero-lounge" for second-row comfort — a different value proposition than the SUV-shaped competition.
The Windsor uses a single 38 kWh LFP battery pack with a claimed range of 332 km (MIDC). DC fast charging supports up to 45 kW peak. The single battery option keeps the spec sheet simple but caps the upper range — about 100 km below the larger Creta Electric and Curvv EV configurations.
The Windsor's signature is the BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) commercial model, the first widely-available BaaS scheme in India. Buyers can pay roughly ₹10 lakh upfront for the car (with battery rented for ~₹3.5/km), or ~₹14 lakh including the battery. BaaS reduces upfront price and removes battery-warranty anxiety, but caps total kilometers and adds a recurring monthly cost — the trade-off varies by use pattern.
