      MG Windsor Pro Gets New Base Variant – Price Rs 17.25 L

      by

      New Windsor Exclusive Pro
      After launching the Windsor Essence Pro earlier this month, JSW MG Motor India continues their product offensive with the launch of a more affordable Pro variant. This will pack the same 52.9 kWh battery pack with a 449 km range but is based on the mid-spec Exclusive trim level, attracting a lower price tag.
      MG Windsor Exclusive Pro
      When MG launched Windsor Pro, it was based on the top-spec Essence trim. Introductory price was Rs 17.5 lakh (Ex-sh) for the first 8,000 bookings. These 8,000 bookings took place well within 24 hours and then MG ended the introductory price, offering MG Windsor Essence Pro for Rs 18.1 lakh (Ex-sh) or Rs 13.09 lakh (Ex-sh) + Rs 4.5 per km BaaS pricing.
      New Windsor Exclusive Pro
      Now, MG has launched Windsor Exclusive Pro at Rs 17.25 lakh (Ex-sh) or Rs 12.24 lakh (Ex-sh) + Rs 4.5 per km BaaS pricing. Exclusive Pro is based on the mid-spec Exclusive trim, which is positioned above Excite and below Essence. Deliveries for Exclusive Pro start from first week of June.
      Windsor Exclusive Pro is launched in three colours – Pearl White, Starry Black and Turquoise Green. It shares the same powertrain as Windsor Essence Pro launched earlier this month. This means Windsor Exclusive Pro will get the same 52.9 kWh battery pack as the top-spec variant that promises up to 449 km of range on a single charge.
      New Windsor Exclusive Pro
      It continues to get the new design 18-inch alloy wheels that Essence Pro also gets along with flush door handles, LED lighting and more. On the inside, MG Windsor Exclusive Pro comes with dual tone Ivory and Black theme which lends an air of sophistication. Other notable features like the 15.6-inch Grand View infotainment screen is present too.
      Statement from MG Motor
      Speaking on the launch, Rakesh Sen, Head of Sales, JSW MG Motor India, said, “The overwhelming response to the MG Windsor PRO is evident, with more than 8,000 bookings recorded within 24 hours of its launch. With the top variant now established, we are expanding accessibility of the MG Windsor by introducing the Exclusive PRO variant, offering a larger battery pack alongside premium comfort and convenience. This move is intended to bring the MG Windsor PRO closer to more customers.”

      BYD e7 Electric Sedan Launch Price CNY 104K (Rs 12.33 L) – Range 520 Kms

      by

      BYD e7 Electric SedanOne of the world’s largest electric car manufacturers, BYD (Build Your Dreams), has just launched a capable and potent budget electric sedan in China. Called e7, this electric sedan was first teased in April 2025 and makes excellent sense to launch in India, positioning it below the Seal sedan. Let’s take a look at what’s what.
      BYD e7 Budget Electric Sedan
      When it was first teased in April 2025, BYD e7 made quite some headlines as it is a budget-oriented offering. How budget is it? One might ask. To put numbers into perspective, BYD e7 starts from CNY 103,800 and goes till CNY 115,800. This roughly translates to Rs 12.33 lakh and Rs 13.74 lakh.
      BYD e7 Electric Sedan
      For this money, one can only hope to buy a decently kitted out sub 4m SUV in India. In contrast, BYD e7 is a large electric sedan measuring 4,780 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, 1,515 mm in height and has a 2,820 mm long wheelbase. To put it into context, BYD e7 is just a wee bit smaller than Skoda Superb and Toyota Camry. In China, it is likely to be predominantly offered to taxi operators.
      As of now, BYD e7 is only launched in Dragonland and is likely to be offered in a few ASEAN nations. We wish BYD launch e7 in India for a striking price tag. If BYD intends to bring it into India, they would have to lean towards the CBU route like they are doing with eMAX 7 and Atto 3, among others.
      BYD e7 Electric Sedan
      Design & Equipment
      Where design is concerned, it still follows the Ocean design language that is also seen with Seal EV. Instead of being outlandish, BYD e7 is premium and packs in quite a lot of equipment. Wheels are smaller in size at 16-inches, there are LED headlights and tail lights, conventional door handles and other elements.
      On the inside, we get a large 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, a 5-inch fully digital instrument cluster, premium interiors, front and rear armrests, rear AC vents, multiple USB charging ports and more. The long wheelbase will allow rear occupants to have excellent (for the price) kneeroom as well.
      BYD e7 Electric Sedan
      Powering this vehicle is a 48 kWh battery and a 57.6 kWh battery pack. The former is rated to deliver 450 km of range and the latter is rated to eke out 520 km of range on a single charge. Both variants get a sole single-motor option that drives front wheels only, packing 134 bhp and 180 Nm with a top speed of 150 km/h. More

      Tata Harrier EV Launch Date 3rd June 2025 – More Features, Power, AWD

      by

      Tata Harrier EV
      After the discontinuation of Tata Hexa, Harrier and Safari emerged as the company’s flagship SUVs. The duo redefined D Segment SUV space for quite some time. Now, Tata Motors is unleashing an electric version of Harrier, called Harrier EV. A Safari EV could follow soon.
      The company has just announced that it is launching Harrier EV on June 3rd, 2025. For the first time, India’s D SUV segment for the mainstream audience is witnessing the launch of an electric offering. A lot of details about this upcoming electric SUV have been out. Let’s take a closer look at the finer details ahead of the launch.
      Production-spec Tata Harrier EV
      Tata Harrier EV Launch Date Confirmed
      Harrier EV’s global debut happened at 2025 Auto Expo in Delhi NCR. Where design is concerned, there are not a lot of changes when compared to its ICE model. We can see a new fascia with a closed-off grille along with a new bumper and EV-specific highlights. There are new sets of alloy wheel designs that could be 19-inches in size like its ICE counterpart.
      We can see .EV badge on front doors and Harrier.EV badge on its tailgate. The unit showcased at 2025 Auto Expo had a Silver finish on its side body claddings seen on wheel arches and side door moulding. The same was not seen on test mules that were spied post global debut and during the showcase at Pune plant.
      Tata Harrier EV
      Tata Motors released a teaser in March 2025 showing some of the interior bits of upcoming Harrier EV. Here too, there are minimal to no changes when we bring Harrier ICE into the equation. These include dual 12.3-inch screens, dual-zone touch and toggle climate control panel, steering wheel with an illuminated logo and others.
      What to expect?
      In the centre console, we can see the same rotary dial for Drive mode selection along with similar designs for electronic parking brakes and others. With Harrier EV, Tata is likely to offer new terrain response modes as it is expected to have much better off-road capabilities when compared to ICE Harrier.
      Tata Harrier EV QWD, Rear Independent Suspension
      Speaking of, Harrier EV is expected to feature a dual motor powertrain (one on each axle), which will allow for QWD (AWD) capabilities. The battery is expected to be a sizeable unit that promises around 500 km on a single charge. At 2025 Auto Expo, Tata revealed that Harrier EV will have 500 Nm of peak torque and it packs self-parking features, which Tata refers to as Summon Mode. More

      2026 Toyota C-HR EV Debuts – AWD, 467 Km Range, 338 Bhp

      by

      2026 Toyota C-HR EV DebutsIntroduced in the USA in 2018, the previous-gen Toyota C-HR was equipped with a 2.0-litre petrol engine, generating 144 hp
      While Toyota sells many hybrid cars in the USA, the only BEV option currently available is the bZ4X compact crossover SUV. To strengthen its BEV portfolio, Toyota has added the latest-gen C-HR that uses an all-electric powertrain. It is expected to be available at Toyota dealerships in the USA in 2026. Let’s check out the key features of the 2026 Toyota C-HR.
      2026 Toyota C-HR EV Debuts – Performance, range
      Toyota introduced the C-HR+ in Europe earlier this year in March with three powertrain options. The North American C-HR is essentially the same vehicle but gets only a single powertrain. 2026 Toyota C-HR in the US utilizes a 74.7 kW lithium-ion battery pack, offering a range of 467 km. With the dual-motor AWD setup, the combined power output is at 338 hp.
      2026 Toyota C-HR EV Debuts
      Claimed acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is achievable in just around 5 seconds. 2026 Toyota C-HR is underpinned by the e-TNGA platform. An 11-kW on-board AC charger is provided with the C-HR BEV. A NACS charging port has been used that can be used with Level Three DC fast charging. This ensures access to thousands of fast charging stations spread across the country.
      2026 Toyota C-HR EV Debuts
      With a fast charger, the C-HR’s battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just around 30 minutes. For user’s convenience, C-HR also supports charging from Level One and Level Two AC power sources. To suit local climate conditions, 2026 Toyota C-HR is also equipped with a battery pre-conditioning system. It essentially primes the battery for DC fast charging, as is necessary in colder climates. The battery pre-conditioning system can work in both manual and automatic mode.
      2026 Toyota C-HR EV Debuts
      Variants, features
      2026 Toyota C-HR will be available in SE and XSE grades in the US. The SE trim has features such as 18-inch wheels with black alloy inserts, a powered tailgate and low-profile roof rails. Inside, there’s a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, a 14-inch touchscreen with Toyota Audio Multimedia system, two wireless Qi chargers and Type-C USB ports. Safety kit includes front and rear parking assist with automatic braking and blind spot monitor.
      2026 Toyota C-HR EV Debuts
      The XSE trim gets additional and more premium equipment such as 20-inch alloy wheels, an 8-way power passenger seat, a driver memory seat, traffic jam assist, lane change assist and a panoramic view monitor. All trims of Toyota C-HR are equipped with JBL Premium Audio system with 9 speakers. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is also common for all variants, offering a wide range of ADAS features.
      2026 Toyota C-HR EV Debuts
      In Toyota’s USA lineup, the 2026 C-HR BEV is expected to be positioned above the bZ4X. Prices could start at around $42,000 (~ Rs 36 lakh). In the US, 2026 C-HR BEV will take on rivals such as Hyundai Kona Electric, Volkswagen ID.4 and Chevrolet Equinox EV. The target audience will primarily be buyers who are looking for a sporty, performance-oriented compact EV, offering AWD and a practical range. More

      MG Windsor Pro Vs Creta Electric VS Curvv EV – Specs, Performance Compared

      by

      MG Windsor Pro vs Creta Electric vs Curvv EVMG Windsor Pro was launched in India for an introductory price of Rs 17.49 lakh (Ex-sh) for the first 8,000 buyers. At this introductory price, Windsor Pro undercuts base prices of Hyundai Creta Electric and Tata Curvv EV, despite being a top-spec variant. These base variants of Creta Electric and Curvv EV come equipped with smaller batteries with less range and features.
      Those 8,000 bookings came in under a day and the new Ex-sh price is Rs 18.1 lakh, which is still around the base prices of Creta Electric and Curvv EV. But in this comparison, we will compare Windsor Pro with absolute top variant of Creta Electric and Curvv EV across specs, powertrain and performance.
      MG Windsor Pro Vs Rivals
      As seen in the charts, Windsor Pro appears as the most affordable top-spec variant in this comparison as it is priced at Rs 18.1 lakh (Ex-sh). Curvv EV tops out at Rs 22.24 lakh (Ex-sh) for Empowered+ A 55 #Dark variant and Creta Electric emerges as the most expensive at Rs 24.38 lakh (Ex-sh) for Excellence 51.4 LR DT. At these price points, let’s compare the specs.
      Creta Electric is the longest in this comparison, but Windsor Pro is the widest, tallest and has the longest wheelbase. Curvv EV’s wheelbase is the smallest and similar to that of Nexon’s. There’s no frunk on offer with Windsor Pro because it has a small bonnet and most of its length is utilised on the inside. It is easily the most spacious in this trio by a landslide.
      MG Windsor Pro vs Creta Electric vs Curvv EV – Dimensions
      Curvv EV’s 500L boot is not bad, but Windsor Pro offers 579L and regular Windsor has an even larger boot. Curvv EV and Windsor Pro offer 18-inch alloy wheels and have 186 mm ground clearance, while Creta Electric has smaller 17-inch alloys, but a higher 200 mm ground clearance. All vehicles in this comparison offer 215-section tyres.
      Windsor Pro is the only one that is a born electric vehicle, while other two are derived EVs. Tata Curvv EV is the only with with a crash safety rating (5 Star, BNCAP). All three vehicles get a single-motor FWD layout and they all get 6 airbags, 360-degree cameras and a sophisticated Level-2 ADAS suite.
      Powertrains Compared
      Curvv EV has the biggest battery at 55 kWh and correspondingly, the highest range at 502 km (ARAI). Windsor Pro promises 449 km on a single charge from its 52.9 kWh pack and Creta Electric promises 473 km on a single charge from its 51.4 kWh battery pack. All of them come with variable regen modes to replenish the battery, but Creta Electric is the only one to get i-Pedal mode (one pedal driving), which is really handy.
      MG Windsor Pro vs Creta Electric vs Curvv EV – Specs
      Creta Electric is the most powerful in this trio as it packs 171 bhp and 255 Nm, promising a 0-100 km/h in 7.9s. Curvv EV is second and Windsor Pro is not designed to be hustled. Where AC charging is concerned, Creta Electric comes out on top again as it offers an 11 kW charger, while Windsor Pro gets 7.4 kW and Curvv EV 7.2 kW. Due to that, charging times are also lowest on Creta Electric. In DC charging, Curvv EV pulls ahead, but you need to find a compatible charger to match those speeds.
      While all three vehicles have their Pros and Cons, it is obvious to see why Windsor Pro sells as much as it does. It is the most affordable of this bunch by a landslide and it is the only one with flexible BaaS (Battery as a Service) plans. It is also the most spacious and tech-savvy. Curvv EV’s strength is that it is stylish with its Coupe SUV design and Creta Electric’s strength is that it is a Creta, which is still quite unshakable. More

      Maruti eVitara Patented In India – Customer Previews From Next Month In Netherlands

      by

      Maruti eVitara Patented In IndiaA truly global product, Maruti Suzuki eVitara will be manufactured in India and exported to more than 100 global markets including Europe and Japan
      Maruti is readying its first fully electric car, the eVitara, for launch in September 2025. Ahead of that, the eVitara has been patented in India. Similar exercises are likely to be happening across the intended export markets as well. Let’s explore some of the key highlights of Maruti Suzuki eVitara.
      Maruti eVitara – Styling and features
      With its muscular profile, Maruti eVitara will be easily recognizable on the streets. It has distinctive lighting elements, a rugged bumper and a sculpted bonnet with prominent grooves. Side profile has polygonal wheel arches, thick body cladding, sporty alloy wheels and door moulding. While the front has traditional door handles, the rear units are mounted on the C-pillars. At the rear, eVitara has a raked windshield, connected tail lamps and a chunky bumper.
      Maruti eVitara Patented In India
      Users will be able to access a comprehensive range of premium features with the eVitara. Some of the key highlights include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch multi-information display, fixed glass sunroof, premium sound system by Harman, multi-colour ambient lighting and wireless charger. eVitara also gets power adjustable driver seat, ventilated seats and customizable seat options.
      Safety package includes 7-airbags, tyre pressure monitoring system, electronic parking brake with brake hold function and all-wheel disc brakes. The SUV will have ADAS Level 2, a 360° view camera and front and rear parking sensors.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara India Debut
      Battery pack options for Maruti eVitara include a 49-kWh and a 61-kWh unit. These will be Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) units, sourced from BYD. Variants with the larger battery pack are expected to deliver a range of around 500 km. Both 2WD and AWD (Suzuki AllGrip-e system) options will be available with the eVitara. The AWD variants will come with drive modes of Eco, Normal and Sport. There will be an additional Snow Mode as well for handling snow and other slippery surfaces.
      Suzuki eVitara preview event in The Netherlands
      eVitara preview event in the Netherlands
      Europe will be among the key markets for the eVitara. With that in mind, Suzuki has started its promotional campaigns across the continent. In June, preview events for the eVitara will be conducted at four special locations in the Netherlands. Users will be able to explore the eVitara inside and out. However, Suzuki won’t be offering any test drives at these events.
      Similar promotional events are expected to be organized in Japan as well. Made in India Maruti cars have emerged as popular options in Japan. For example, Fronx had registered cumulative bookings of around 9,000 units in Japan. This is 9 times more than the initial target set by Suzuki. India-made 5-door Jimny emerged an even more popular choice in Japan, with 50,000 bookings received in just 4 days. Bookings had to be paused, as the waiting period stretched to a staggering 3.5 years.
      eVitara will be manufactured at Suzuki’s plant in Gujarat. Production is expected to commence soon. Around 70,000 units are planned to be manufactured in 2025, most of which will be meant for export markets. Allocation for the domestic market could be increased in the future based on demand and available production capacity. In India, the Maruti eVitara will be sold via the brand’s Nexa dealerships.

      Tesla India Cancels 9-Yr-Old Reservation – New Bookings To Commence Soon?

      by

      New Tesla Model Y Juniper
      While Tesla’s entry into India has been perennially delayed since 2016, recent developments indicate a strong possibility of a launch in 2025
      It was in 2016 that Tesla had started accepting pre bookings for the Model 3 in India. Early adopters from top cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru were on the radar. However, due to multiple reasons including high import duty, the launch never happened. Tesla is now cancelling and refunding all old bookings including the ones made in 2016. Does this indicate a potential commencement of new bookings? Let’s find out.
      Reservation cancellation email from Tesla
      In an email sent to one of the early reservation holders of the Model 3, Tesla mentions that many of their products have been replaced over the years and new products have also been launched. Among the ones that have been replaced with upgraded versions is the original Model 3 that was introduced in 2017. The sedan has received multiple incremental updates and a major facelift (Highland refresh) in 2023-2024.
      Tesla India Cancel 9-Yr-Old Reservation.
      As per the email, Tesla is offering a refund of the reservation fee. Tesla has mentioned that the brand will reach out in the market again after they have finalized their product offerings in India. This statement can be considered a strong hint of a launch in the near future. Reservation holders have been asked to provide their banking and other details, so that the refund can be processed in a prompt manner.
      Why Tesla’s India launch seems likely in 2025?
      Apart from the cancellation of old reservations for Model 3, there have been various other developments that indicate a potential launch in 2025. For example, Tesla has finalized its first showroom in India at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. BKC is one of the most premium commercial spaces in Mumbai. Tesla has leased around 4,000 square feet, with monthly rental at Rs 35 lakh and 5% annual increase. Tesla is also looking to set up similar-sized showrooms in other Indian cities such as Delhi.
      Another strong indicator of Tesla’s entry into India is the initiation of the homologation process for Model 3 and Model Y. Tesla will be importing these cars as CBUs in the initial phase. Based on market response and demand, local assembly or local manufacturing could be considered at a later date. Outside of the United States, Tesla has manufacturing facilities in China and Germany. The CBUs to be shipped to India are likely to be sourced from Tesla’s Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany.
      Tesla and other global EV brands will also benefit from the relaxed EV import policy. Import duty will be reduced from 70–100% earlier to just 15%, applicable on premium EVs. This policy shift will be beneficial for Tesla and other brands that plan to use the CBU route in the initial phase.
      There are also talks about a trade deal between India and the USA. Negotiations are said to be progressing in a positive manner and the trade deal could be announced by the end of this year. This trade deal could further benefit companies like Tesla. More

      MG Windsor Pro First Drive Review – Icing On The Cake

      by

      MG Windsor Pro First Drive ReviewWithin India’s electric car segment, there are multiple players. Some are former dominators but have lost major market share and some are on their journey to be the country’s best-selling electric car brand. JSW MG Motor India falls in the latter category and has found great success with Windsor EV, which is already India’s best-selling electric car.
      Improving on their offering further, MG has just launched Windsor EV Pro, which is a, well, a Pro version of Windsor EV. We experienced this vehicle as part of the national media drive organised by MG Motor. While it is vastly familiar, Windsor EV Pro addresses some of the shortcomings that media and buyers expressed with Windsor. After driving this vehicle across Assam and Meghalaya, here’s what we think about this new EV.
      MG Windsor Pro
      MG Windsor Pro First Drive Review
      We should start with the pricing, as they have been announced already. MG’s introductory prices have ended as the first 8,000 bookings came well within a day. MG Windsor Pro has been priced at Rs 18.1 lakh (Ex-sh) without BaaS pricing and Rs 13.09 lakh + Rs 4.5 per km with BaaS pricing with battery as a rental service.
      MG Windsor Pro
      There are three new colours with Windsor Pro – Celadon Blue, Glaze Red and Aurora Silver. Of these three, Glaze Red is likely to garner a lot of bookings as it looked quite eye-candy. Windsor Pro gets a new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels that looks like it could be lighter than what is offered with Windsor. Another change with Windsor Pro is an ADAS badge in Red highlights.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Design changes
      Where design is concerned, those are the only changes and Windsor Pro continues to smite buyers with its premium flair and roomy silhouette. It is still the same size too. The only other exterior change is that it now gets an electrically operated tailgate which ups the premium quotient providing access to its massive boot. Other than this, it is virtually identical to Windsor, which you might already be familiar with.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Even on the inside, there are no real changes other than the fact that it now gets Black and Ivory dual-tone upholstery. Even though Ivory upholstery is hard to keep clean, it is a welcome change as it makes the cabin look and feel roomier and adds a flair of sophistication too. The new Ivory shade and Windsor’s Infinity View glass roof transforms lend an airy feel.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Other features continue to be the same on the inside, which is not a bad thing. The 2,700 mm long wheelbase carves out a lot of room for all occupants and rear seats still recline up to 135 degrees for a lounge-like experience. This cabin is ergonomic and it is well thought out. It gets soft-touch plastics, a floating centre console with storage and premium touches for AC vent knobs, power window switches and many more.
      MG Windsor Pro
      The 15.6-inch free-standing infotainment screen is still slick to use and controls almost all the vehicular functions including headlights, ventilated seat controls and a lot more. Once you get used to it, the circular pod controls on steering wheel, infotainment screen and instrument cluster all feel like second nature and the learning curve is not that steep.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Added Pro Features
      Main addition in terms of technology is not V2L (Vehicle to Load) or V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle), but it is the Level-2 ADAS suite. This was one of the main feedbacks with the Windsor EV, which MG has worked on rather quickly. MG, as a brand, is known for its advances in ADAS suite in Indian car market and democratising it for the masses.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Now, Windsor Pro has autonomous features like auto emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam assist and many others. We tried them out during our time with this vehicle on the highways and city roads and they work as advertised. Lane keep assist is not for twisty hill station roads as we had in Assam and Meghalaya, but should work very reliably on regular roads with an added safety net.
      MG Windsor Pro
      A larger 52.9 kWh battery pack powers Windsor Pro, which is 39.2% larger than Windsor’s 38 kWh battery pack. With the larger battery pack, MG is claiming a 449 km range on a single charge, which is 35.64% more range than Windsor’s 331 km promised range. Higher range should act as a deterrent for range anxiety and eHUB by MG app has emerged as a key aspect in EV transitions.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Performance & Dynamics
      When we started the journey in the morning, our Windsor Pro review unit had 99% charge and it was indicating 400+ km of range on a single charge. At the end of our journey, Windsor Pro’s battery SOC was at 44% and it was still showing a 187 km range left. In our experience, we found it quite close to reality and one could expect around 400 km of real-world range with MG Windsor Pro if driven sanely.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Speaking of driving, there haven’t been any changes in the performance department. It continues to be powered by a sole 134 bhp and 200 Nm electric motor, driving front wheels only. There are multiple drive modes and Sport unlocks all the performance. 0-100 km/h spring can be done in around 10 seconds and instant acceleration is quite addictive. Regen braking is very effective as well and one can adjust regen level as per their liking.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Dynamically, Windsor Pro remains more or less the same as Windsor EV. The hilly roads we took in Assam and Meghalaya tempted us to push this vehicle harder around corners. But we realised that corner carving is not Windsor Pro’s forte and it is not designed for spirited driving either. For intended use, Windsor Pro rides and handles quite well. We just wished bump absorption was a little better as it can get slightly unsettling once the speeds go up.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Conclusion
      We just wished there were more features added with Windsor Pro, which was not the case. Primary of these is a rear washer and wiper, which continues to be a baffling omission. We didn’t feel the need for it when we drove Windsor in Gurgaon last year. We missed rear wiper a lot in Assam and Meghalaya where it rains cats and dogs. The other feature we expected was rear ventilated seats, which definitely sounds like a Pro feature to have in a market like India.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Other than these, Windsor Pro is a significant step up from Windsor and can easily emerge as a phenomenon and probably even make JSW MG Motor India, the country’s best-selling electric car manufacturer. It has a lot of things going for it and a larger battery promising higher range along with an added safety net from Level-2 ADAS suite is the icing on the cake. More
