MG has unveiled the new Windsor EV Indulge Edition at ₹17.89 lakh (ex-showroom), adding more luxury and comfort to one of India’s favorite electric cars. This special edition comes with a host of unique enhancements, with the primary focus being on creating a more premium appearance and enhancing the comfort for rear-seat passengers, rather than making any big changes to the core electric powertrain. The Indulge Edition brings in the new Shadow Gold color with a contrasting black roof, along with unique 18-inch black alloy wheels and “Indulge” badges. The interior gets an upgraded Urban Tan and Black upholstery, with special “Indulge” emblems on the front headrests, while the front seat occupants get neck cushions and the rear passengers can enjoy themed pillows. The special edition also introduces the new roof-mounted flip-down PRIVE Screen for the second-row passengers, making them feel more like business class travelers.
This is complemented by the reclining Aero Lounge seats of the Windsor EV, which makes it clear that the focus of this spec was on providing more comfort and convenience for the rear occupants. Underneath the enhanced luxury feel, the Indulge Edition retains the standard 38kWh battery pack and a 136hp electric motor, which develops 200Nm of torque and is mounted at the front-wheel to deliver a claimed range of up to 332km on a single charge. The core mechanicals have been left untouched on this special edition spec, so it continues to deliver the same level of performance and range as the base Windsor EV, but with additional enhancements for a more premium feel. MG has essentially built upon the top-spec Essence variant, which already had a range of high-end features, but managed to make it stand out from the competition by adding in more luxury and comfort-focused upgrades.
While the exterior appearance has received a significant upgrade, the interior cabin is now more premium with the new dual-tone upholstery. The unique exterior badging and the upgrades to the interior, along with the new PRIVE Screen, are the main highlights of the Indulge spec, with the latter ensuring that the second-row occupants feel spoiled with the additional entertainment screen. With the enhanced seating comfort and the improvements to the overall cabin ambiance, the special edition variant is ideal for making longer journeys more enjoyable for all occupants.
The Windsor EV Indulge Edition has managed to make itself different from the regular production variants with its enhancements, without sacrificing the core strengths of the popular electric car. It adds in more comfort and convenience, especially for the rear-seat passengers and brings in the luxury feel that comes with the higher trims, while retaining the standard specification electric drivetrain and battery pack. It may be more expensive than the regular Windsor EV by around ₹89,000, but it manages to appeal to the discerning buyers who want a more premium appearance, as well as enhanced comfort and convenience upgrades. The Windsor EV Indulge Edition has joined the ranks of the other popular electric cars in a very competitive segment, where the customer wants an electric vehicle that can serve as his family car while also delivering on the long-range requirements for his road trips.
MG has once again demonstrated its commitment towards offering the best electric vehicles in the country, by providing the Windsor EV buyers with a choice between the regular spec and an upgraded special edition with enhanced comfort. The Indulge Edition is more focused on appealing to the customer’s sense of style, while also adding luxury and comfort upgrades to the popular electric car. The upgraded appearance comes with the exclusive Shadow Gold finish and the enhanced interior cabin, which makes the car feel more special without making any significant changes to the mechanicals.
The Indulge Edition’s focus on comfort and convenience upgrades for the rear-seat passengers, instead of improving the core electric powertrain, is the right approach to attract more customers towards the popular electric car segment. As more people look to invest in a family-friendly electric vehicle, the Windsor EV Indulge Edition spec will be an interesting choice for them.
