MG Windsor EV: Launch Date, and Expected Price
A promising newcomer to the electric vehicle market is the MG Windsor EV. This model, which is based on the Wuling Cloud EV worldwide, has a sleek appearance with unique Indian components like Morris Garages. Launching on September 11th, it promises an impressive range and cutting-edge features with a 50.6 kWh battery.
About MG Windsor EV
The Wuling Cloud EV, which is marketed internationally, will serve as the foundation for the MG Windsor EV. The latest teaser confirms that the design of the Indian model will resemble that of the global offering. Similarly, it will have linked LED DRLs and LED headlights up front.
The India-spec Cloud EV will, however, have a Morris Garage above the front bumper, which makes it unique. Conversely, the connected LED DRL strip is directly below the MG logo.
Except for revealing its free-flowing design and aerodynamically designed 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels (which share a similar design with the international-spec Cloud EV), not much about the side profile was disclosed.
On the front fender is where you’ll find the charging flap. The Windsor EV will have a connected LED tail light setup on the back that extends across the EV’s rear fascia. Windsor badging is also added beneath the tail lights.
MG Windsor EV Launch Date
The automaker has been hinting at the impending EV, the MG Windsor EV, for some time now as it gets ready for its September 11 launch. With teases of the front and rear fascias as well as the alloy wheel design that will be featured in the production-spec model, MG has now revealed the exterior of this crossover electric vehicle.
MG Windsor EV Electric Powertrain
A front-wheel-drive motor with 136 PS and 200 Nm will be powered by a 50.6 kWh battery (same as the international model) in the MG Windsor EV. The Indian model may have a longer range than the 460 km claimed by the Indonesian specification after ARAI testing.
