In a dazzling celebration of innovation and sustainability, JSW MG Motor India has launched the Windsor EV Inspire Edition, a bespoke limited-run variant of its blockbuster electric crossover. Timed to mark the one-year anniversary of the Windsor EV’s debut in India, this special edition honors the model’s remarkable achievement of crossing 40,000 unit sales. With production capped at just 300 units, the Inspire Edition isn’t just a car—it’s a collector’s emblem of MG’s rapid ascent in the EV arena, unveiled by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari as a nod to his vision for a greener mobility future.
The Windsor EV has redefined electric mobility in India since its launch in September 2024, captivating buyers with its cavernous cabin, family-friendly practicality, impressive range, and unbeatable value-for-money proposition. Selling over 40,000 units in its first year—a feat that underscores the growing appetite for affordable EVs—the model has solidified MG’s position as a disruptor. Now, the Inspire Edition elevates this success story with exclusive styling cues and tech enhancements, teasing enthusiasts with a “Business class goes beyond” tagline that evokes luxury akin to first-class air travel, complete with a silhouette shadowed by a fighter jet for added dynamism.
Exclusive Design: Pearl White Sophistication Meets Rose Gold Flair
The Windsor EV Inspire Edition stands out with its striking dual-tone exterior in Pearl White paired with a Starry Black roof, accented by sleek black alloy wheels and rose gold claddings on the grille and side mouldings. Subtle blacked-out ORVMs and bespoke “Inspire” badging add a premium touch, while the bundled accessory pack includes rose gold front grille elements, body-side mouldings, themed 3D floor mats, “Inspire” cushions, rear window sunshades, a leather key cover, and bumper corner protectors.
Step inside, and the cabin exudes opulence with Sangria Red and black leather upholstery, embroidered insignias, and a blacked-out dashboard for a modern, monochromatic vibe. Optional add-ons like the illuminated glass roof animation—projecting starry skies—and wireless illuminated sill plates promise to turn heads at every dealership visit. Drawing from the top-spec Essence variant, this edition maintains the Windsor’s signature “infinity” seating for five adults, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front seats, all while hinting at subtle interior accent changes for that extra layer of exclusivity.
Inside, the cabin could see tasteful upgrades like revised upholstery with new stitching patterns, alternative seat fabrics, and gold inlays on the dashboard for that premium touch. True to form for special editions, the Inspire is likely to build on the top-spec Essence Pro trim, retaining all its advanced goodies without compromising on performance.
Unchanged Powertrain, Enhanced Smarts: Performance Meets Connectivity
Under the hood—or rather, the floorpan—the Inspire Edition carries forward the Windsor EV’s proven electric heart: a 38 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery pack mated to a front-axle permanent magnet synchronous motor churning out 100 kW (134 bhp) and 200 Nm of torque. This setup delivers a claimed ARAI range of 331 km on a single charge, with real-world efficiency hovering around 250-280 km depending on conditions. Charging is brisk too, supporting a 45 kW DC fast charger for a 20-80% top-up in just 45 minutes.
While the power figures remain identical to the standard Essence, the Inspire Edition introduces fresh i-SMART connected car features to elevate the ownership experience. The “Watch Wellness” app integrates with Apple Watch for real-time health monitoring of the driver and passengers, while the “Book My Service” function allows seamless scheduling directly from the 15.6-inch touchscreen head unit. These additions build on the Windsor’s existing suite, including Level 2 ADAS (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities, a powered tailgate, and six airbags as standard.
Notably, this edition skips the larger 50.3 kWh battery option available on Pro variants, focusing instead on the accessible 38 kWh pack to keep pricing competitive without compromising on the model’s core appeal.
Pricing and Availability: Act Fast for This Rarity
Priced at Rs 16.65 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi) for outright purchase, the Windsor EV Inspire Edition offers flexibility through MG’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) scheme at Rs 12.64 lakh plus Rs 3.9 per km driven—making it an attractive entry point for budget-conscious buyers wary of upfront battery costs. This BaaS model has been a game-changer for the Windsor lineup, contributing significantly to its sales surge by slashing the effective ownership price by up to 25%.Bookings kicked off today, October 9, 2025, via the official MG website or by calling the Elite i-Hub at 1800-570-0000, with deliveries slated to commence from October 15.

A Soaring Legacy: MG’s EV Ambitions Take Flight
The Windsor EV Inspire Edition isn’t merely a facelift; it’s a bold statement of JSW MG’s commitment to pushing boundaries in India’s electrifying auto market. By blending fighter-jet-inspired aesthetics—think gold accents and dynamic silhouettes—with practical innovations, MG is teasing a future where EVs feel as aspirational as they are accessible. As the company eyes deeper localization and an expanded charging network, this anniversary special could propel the Windsor past 100,000 units by 2026.In a landscape dominated by range anxiety and high costs, the Inspire Edition reminds us that electric dreams can indeed go beyond. For those ready to upgrade their commute to business class, the skies are the limit.
