For those looking to buy the Windsor Pro without the BaaS scheme, the car is also available for full purchase (vehicle + battery) at an introductory price of Rs 17.49 lakh. This price is valid for the first 8000 customers.
With MG’s BaaS scheme, prices of the regular Windsor EV start from Rs 9.99 lakh (plus Rs 3.5 per km battery rental). Prices for the Windsor EV (with battery) start from Rs 13.50 lakh, and go up to Rs 15.50 lakh.
Conclusion:
Upgrading the Windsor EV’s battery is a game-changing step by MG. Industry experts had praised the Windsor’s features & interiors, but had criticized the low range.
