MG Windsor EV has finished 2025 as India’s best‑selling electric car, setting an all‑time record for any single EV model in the country with well over 46,000 units sold in a year. Beyond the headline number, its pricing, range options, and family‑focused packaging show why it connected so strongly with real buyers, not just early adopters.
MG’s growth and MG Windsor EV momentum
On the back of Windsor, JSW MG Motor India reported about 111% year‑on‑year growth in its EV sales compared to 2024, underlining how sharply its electric portfolio has scaled up.
The company also ended CY2025 with roughly 19% overall growth in total sales, showing that EVs are no longer a side story but a serious pillar of its business.
Crucially, demand is no longer restricted to metros; Windsor has found traction in Tier‑II/III cities and emerging markets, hinting that EV acceptance is spreading beyond the usual early‑adopter pockets.
MG Windsor EV positions Windsor as an “intelligent CUV” – essentially a crossover that mixes sedan‑like space with SUV‑style stance and practicality, which suits Indian family usage patterns.
The car launched in late 2024 and is priced in the roughly ₹12–16 lakh ex‑showroom band for regular ownership, with variants like Excite, Exclusive and Essence targeting value‑conscious as well as feature‑seeking buyers.
MG has also experimented with a Battery‑as‑a‑Service (BaaS) model, where the vehicle starts from around ₹9.99 lakh plus a per‑km battery usage fee, reducing the initial entry cost for fence‑sitters moving from petrol/diesel.
MG Windsor EV Battery, range and performance
Windsor currently offers two main battery options: a 38 kWh pack with a claimed range of around 331–332 km, and a larger pack of about 52.9 kWh in the Pro variant with a claimed range in the 440–450 km zone, certified under Indian testing cycles.
Power output is around 100 kW with about 200 Nm of torque, which translates into brisk, effortless city performance and relaxed highway cruising rather than outright sporty character.
MG is also readying a bigger 55 kWh variant with a projected claimed range close to 500 km, along with the introduction of ADAS features like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane assist, which should further lift its appeal among tech‑savvy buyers.
Why it clicked with Indian families
The cabin is positioned as spacious and comfort‑oriented, with a well‑equipped dashboard, a smooth and quiet drive, and practicality that works as a primary family car rather than just a city runabout.
Owners have reportedly turned into brand advocates, nudging friends and relatives toward EVs, which suggests that Windsor managed to reduce range anxiety and charging fears for first‑time EV households.
By combining attainable pricing, usable real‑world range, family‑friendly space and a contemporary feature list, Windsor has become the “default” EV choice for many buyers upgrading from compact SUVs and premium hatchbacks, which is exactly what its 2025 sales crown reflects.
MG Windsor EV Record sales performance
JSW MG Motor India has confirmed that the Windsor closed calendar year 2025 with 46,735 units sold, the highest annual volume ever achieved by a single EV model in India.
This made it the country’s No.1 EV for 2025, dethroning long‑time leader Tata Nexon EV and setting a new benchmark for mainstream electric adoption.
Windsor’s sales were also very consistent, averaging around 4,000 units a month through the year, rather than being driven by one or two spike months.
Conclusion
MG Windsor’s record in 2025 wasn’t just a flash in the pan; it sets a new benchmark for MG Windsor EV performance in India. As 2026 unfolds, the Windsor’s momentum is likely to influence market dynamics — from charging infrastructure to financing models to product strategies across the EV ecosystem.
In other words, the Windsor didn’t just top a sales chart — it helped shape the future of EV mobility in India.
