Satinder Singh Bajwa, Chief Commercial Officer, JSW MG Motor India, said, “We are excited to reveal the name of our upcoming CUV: MG Windsor. The Windsor Castle is renowned worldwide as a symbol of royalty and glory, which reflects in every detail of this CUV that exudes excellent craftsmanship, premiumness and spaciousness. The advanced tech offerings and the futuristic aerodynamic exterior further add to the appeal of the car. The MG Windsor caters to consumers who seek best of both worlds – comfort of a sedan and the expanse of an SUV.”

Name Windsor also meets the naming strategy of MG Motor, where their cars are named after British planes. Examples like Hector, Gloster, Comet and Astor reflect this strategy. The new Windsor name follows a similar strategy too. Called Vickers Windsor, it was a heavy bomber designed and developed around the second world war. There were only three prototypes built and production was canceled owing to the end of World War II.

MG Motor India Pvt Ltd had previously trademarked a name called Excelor EV and was speculated to go on Cloud EV. However, that is not the case anymore as the company has trademarked MG Windsor EV name in India. The logo for MG Windsor EV has been trademarked too, as seen in the images.
