Electric Chapter in MG’s World of EVs
The Windsor EV represents a substantial step forward in MG’s electric vehicle plans. Following the success of its predecessors such as the ZS EV and MG4, the Windsor leads the brands electrified line up to greater heights.
The new car is named after the Windsor Castle – the home to the British Royal Family – and has been designed with a nod to British heritage and royalty to represent the flagship model in MG’s ever-growing electric range.
MG Motor, a British brand that now operates as part of Chinese automotive behemoth SAIC Motor, has been gradually stretching its wings across the globe.
The Windsor EV is their most ambitious electric vehicle yet, targeting eco-minded drivers who don’t want to sacrifice power or luxury.
Component and Performance Data Powertrain and Performance Summary
The beautifully proportioned, revolutionary powertrain has been designed for efficiency and performance at its core, with the 2025 MG Windsor EV.
The car is available in two battery options – the puny 64kWh standard with about 380km of range, and the big 82kWh with the much-ballyhooed 500km (on WLTP testing method) range.
In its regular guise the Windsor’s electric motor provides 204 horsepower (150kW), but in the dual-motor AWD, output is significantly increased to 308 horsepower (230kW).
That translates to acceleration abilities to rival heaps of regular old performance cars, with the all-paw version hitting 0-100km/h in a mere 4.8 seconds.
Charging performance is also greatly improved compared to existing MG electric models. The Windsor is capable of DC charging at 150kW, charging the battery from 10% to 80% in about 35 minutes. At home, the built-in 11kW AC charger delivers an overnight full charge in 7-8 hours.
Outside Design and Aerodynamics
The MG Windsor demonstrates the direction of MG design language mix with modern style and Aerodynamics. Pictured is the vehicle’s crossover-coupe body style, a not-too-high, not-too-swoopy look that splits the difference between an SUV and a sedan.
Aero efficiency The Ioniq 5’s clean and aerodynamic profile has a drag coefficient of 0.23 Cd, combining engineering detail and aesthetic design for maximum efficiency and performance at high speed.
Identifying features on the outside are a blocked-off grille with a backlit MG badge, thin LED headlights which feature adaptive tech and a single LED light bar running along the tailgate. The car rolls on 18- to 20-inch aerodynamically tuned wheels, depending on trim level.
Weight reduction is also a focus — heavy use of high-strength steel and aluminum has helped drop the R1S’s curb weight by about 10% compared with similar electric crossovers. This reduced weight directly boils down to better efficiency and aerodynamics.
Interior Comfort, Quality and Technology Interior Comparable to such upscale luxury sedans such as the Acura TL, Cadillac CTS and Infiniti G37, the MKZ’s cabin is an obvious step up from that of the MKZ’s Ford Fusion sibling.
Open the door of the Windsor and you’re greeted with some of MG’s finest work when it comes to making you feel like you’re getting a premium product (for not a premium price tag).
At the forefront of the minimalist cab design, lies a 15.6-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system that is attached with a rotating function that can switch from landscape to portrait depending on customer requirements.
The digital instrument cluster is 12.3 inches and can be customized. Higher trims feature augmented reality navigation, which overlays directional instructions in the driver’s view. With voice recognition, you can easily speak commands for climate, navigation, and entertainment.
Standard trim levels get recycled-content materials on upholstery, but premium iterations of the E-Tron serve synthetic leather that looks and feels just like the real deal but doesn’t put quite the same pinch on the environment.
Rear passengers are also well catered for with ample legroom ensured by the flat floor design of the dedicated EV platform and the expansive feeling within the cabin is perpetuated by the availability of a panoramic glass roof.
ADAS for more safety behind the wheel
The 2025 Windsor highlights the broadest range of driver aids to come with an MG yet in the form of MG Pilot 3.0. This includes a Level 2+ autononous driving:
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
Assistance for lane centering and lane keeping
AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection
Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert
Traffic sign prediction with smart speed adaptation
Attention holding device for a driver of a vehicle
The upper-spec trim also has MG’s Highway Pilot system, which offers hands-free driving under certain conditions on compatible highways, although drivers need to keep attentive and available to take back control.
The way we connect with and experience the world
MG has made significant improvements to its infotainment system for the Windsor EV. This is a brand newiLX-W207 7 Digital Media Receiver iSMART 2.0 user interface is a standard feature and comes with a 6.2 capacitive touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, plus a reverse camera input.
The charging status, climate preconditioning and security features can be monitored and controlled remotely via the smartphone app.
The automobile’s connectivity also includes Spotify and Amazon Music, which are integrated through the car’s 12-speaker premium audio system available in higher trims.
A smart home integration feature enables Windsor owners to link up with compatible home automation systems, so you can make that seamless, time-saving transition from home life to your car.
Pricing Strategy and Positioning in the Market
The Pricing Then there’s the pricing, and the 2025 MG Windsor EV is priced to return serve. It’s not yet clear how much it will cost in the UK or elsewhere, but MG is expecting to undercut comparable EV models from the established premium brands by 20-25%.
The base model is expected to come in at around $38,000 (€35,000/£30,000) and $45,000 (€42,000/£36,000) for the long range version. Fully specced top-end AWD ones will cost around $52,000 (€48,000/£42,000).
This pricing puts Windsor on the crosshairs of affordable electric crossovers, but with the levels of features and specs that drivers would normally expect from more expensive models.
Government kickbacks on many markets will make the Windsor even more compelling as the effective price on base models could be less than $35,000 in markets with generous EV incentives.
Worldwide Launch & Availability
MG is to rollout the Windsor EV in stages around the world, with priority given to the key Asian markets in quarter two of 2025. European deliveries are expected to begin from late Q3 2025, with right hand drive markets such as the UK, Australia and New Zealand to follow.
It is undecided if MG will offer the Cyberster in North America, although the company is considering finding a partner to set up a sales and service network in the U.S. and Canada, according to MG.
In it’s first phase, it will be able to produce 150,000 cars per year, with potential for increasing to meet market demand.
Pre-orders will open around three months before regional launch dates, and MG is promising early reservation customers will benefit from free home charging equipment installation and favourable financing rates.
Environmental Credentials
The Windsor’s green attributes go beyond its zero-emissions running. Mg has promised that this model will be constructed using carbon-neutral manufacturing, which means infrastructure will be in place to use renewable power at its production plants, and circular economy principles will have to be applied to the sourcing of its components and processing the vehicle at the end of its life.
The present generation’s battery packs offer a higher recyclability ratio and MG has also entered collaborations with specialized recyclers in order to achieve a high level recovery of material. The company also puts a battery health guarantee at keeping 70% of original capacity for eight years or 160,000km.
MG’s 2025 Windsor EV is the democratization of the electric car, and we will not be stopped. With class-leading range, cutting-edge technology and an affordable purchase price, MG has made the EV transition compelling without too many compromises for the regular consumer.
The Windsor proves that it’s possible to be current without compromising capability or desire, and in a market for electric cars that’s booming with established heavy-hitters and ambitious new players, some of whom are taking aim at the throne of the upstart Electraply, that’s no mean feat
. When it lands in showrooms during 2025, the MG Windsor EV is likely to reset the benchmark for what you can expect from an affordable electric car.
The combination of usable range, technology and value-focused pricing will enable the 2025 MG Windsor EV to be able to scale mainstream electric vehicle usage throughout the world. For anyone on the brink of switching allegiance to an electric vehicle (EV), the Windsor has a transformational proposition to make: A no-brainer One such person might be you.
