MG’s Windsor EV has carved out a nice spot in India’s affordable EV space. It’s practical, efficient, and well-priced. But now there’s a new version in town—the Windsor EV Pro. This upgraded variant brings a bigger battery, more features, and of course, a higher price tag—around 1.95 lakh more. So, is the extra spend really worth it? Let’s break down the details and help you decide.

Battery
The biggest difference between the two models lies under the floor—the battery. The standard Windsor EV comes with a 38.5kWh battery, which gives you an ARAI-certified range of 332km. In real-world terms, that’s closer to 250km, based on tests.
Now enter the Windsor Pro. It ups the game with a 52.9kWh battery, claiming a range of 439km. Again, expect about 340km to 350km in real driving conditions, which is a huge plus if you’re someone who worries about charging infrastructure or plans to use the car for longer drives.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Model | Battery Capacity | Claimed Range | Real-World Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windsor EV | 38.5kWh | 332km | ~250km |
| Windsor EV Pro | 52.9kWh | 439km | ~340-350km |
So if you’re looking for peace of mind on longer routes, the Pro wins hands down.
Features
This is where things get interesting. The Windsor Pro doesn’t just give you more range—it also piles on several premium features that the regular model skips. Here’s what you get for that extra 1.95 lakh:
- Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)
- Powered tailgate
- Dual-tone interiors
- Ambient lighting
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging support
If any of those features are on your wish list, especially ADAS or V2L/V2V, the Pro might feel like a solid upgrade.
Usage
So which one should you pick? It really comes down to how you drive and what you value. The standard Windsor EV is actually pretty impressive. In testing, it hit 264km before the battery gave out—that’s about 80 percent of the claimed range, which is better than most EVs in its class that usually manage 70 to 75 percent.
For city commutes, that’s more than enough. If your daily routine involves predictable, short drives with easy access to charging, the base model gives great value.
But if you want to take longer trips, avoid frequent charging stops, or just want the peace of mind of extra range, the Pro makes a lot of sense. Add to that the tech and convenience features, and you’re getting more than just a bigger battery.
Verdict
In the end, the Windsor EV Pro isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about lifestyle. If you want to stick to city roads and save some cash, the standard Windsor EV will serve you well. But if you’re ready to stretch your budget for more range, smart features, and added tech, the Windsor EV Pro delivers solid value for the premium you’re paying.
