JSW MG Motor India has launched its much-awaited mass-market electric car - Windsor. MG claims that it is the country's first-ever CUV that delivers the practicality of an SUV with the comfort of a sedan. Built on 'Pure EV Platform' the Windsor is aimed at offering a comfortable drive. Prices for the MG Windsor start from Rs 9.99 lakh and it comes with some unique ownership programs and benefits, including BaaS (Battery as a Service).
MG Windsor - Battery As A Service
The company has kept the starting price at Rs 9.99 lakh, but the users will have to pay Rs 3.5 per km for battery, as a part of a special finance scheme. With this move, the brand is trying to make the Windsor comparable to regular ICE SUVs in terms of ownership cost.
MG Windsor - Free Charging & Buyback Plan
In addition, the company is offering a lifetime battery warranty to the first owner of MG Windsor. Also, it comes bundled with one year of free public charging with the eHUB by MG app. JSW MG Motor India is also introducing its 3-60 buyback plan for the Windsor that ensures a 60% retention of its value after 3 years/45,000 km.
