MG's electric MPV just got busy at the top. The brand has teased an 'Indulge Edition' of the Windsor EV, sitting above today's ₹16.5 lakh Essence Pro. If you're eyeing the loaded trims, the real question is simple: spend now, or wait and see what this new flagship brings?
Indulge Edition: what we actually know (and what we don't)
MG has only teased the Windsor EV Indulge Edition so far. There's no confirmed price, no feature list, and no launch date yet. Based on where it sits, expect it to land above the ₹16.5 lakh Essence Pro, likely in the ₹17.5–18 lakh bracket (ex-showroom). Treat that figure as an educated guess, not a promise. We also don't have the battery size, range, or seating data in our catalogue yet, so we won't pretend otherwise. What's clear: this will be the new range-topper, aimed at buyers who want the fullest Windsor EV.

MUV/MPVWhere it fits: the Windsor EV's ₹12.36–16.5 lakh range explained
Right now the Windsor EV runs six trims, all ex-showroom. It starts with the Excite at ₹12.36 lakh and climbs to the Essence Pro at ₹16.5 lakh. In between sit the Inspire Limited (₹13.32 lakh), Exclusive (₹13.64 lakh), Essence (₹14.64 lakh), and Exclusive Pro (₹15.4 lakh). Every single one uses the same 134 bhp electric motor (the pulling power that moves the car) with an automatic gearbox. So the jump between variants is about features, not performance. The Indulge Edition would slot in as a seventh trim, right at the top.
What Indulge could add over the Essence Pro is ₹16.5 lakh.
The Essence Pro already comes well-kitted, so the Indulge needs real extras to justify a higher sticker. Flagship EVs at this price usually pile on ventilated front seats (cooled seats for Indian summers), a 360-degree camera for tight parking, plusher upholstery, and maybe ADAS (safety tech that can brake or steer for you). A panoramic glass roof is another common addition. We don't have MG's confirmed list yet, so these are the typical gaps a top trim fills. If Indulge adds most of these, a ₹1.5–2 lakh premium over Essence Pro starts to make sense. If it's just cosmetic trim and badges, it doesn't.
EV running cost: why ₹1.5/km beats petrol's ₹6–9/km
Here's the math that softens the higher price. Charging the Windsor EV at home costs roughly ₹1.5 per km. A comparable petrol MPV costs about ₹6–9 per km. Drive 15,000 km a year and you save around ₹55,000–₹90,000 annually. Take the Essence Pro at ₹16.5 lakh versus the petrol Maruti Suzuki XL6 top trim at ₹14.58 lakh. The Windsor costs ₹1.92 lakh more upfront, but the fuel savings claw that back in roughly 3 to 3.5 years. After that, it's just cheaper every single month. One reminder: there's no central cash subsidy on electric cars. Some states waive road tax and registration (Delhi, Maharashtra, and Gujarat all differ), so check your RTO. Also, the ex-showroom price excludes the home charger and its installation.
Should you wait or buy the Essence Pro now?
If you want the absolute top Windsor EV, waiting for the Indulge Edition makes sense. But MG hasn't announced a launch date, so that could mean weeks or months. If you need the car soon, the Essence Pro at ₹16.5 lakh or the Exclusive Pro at ₹15.4 lakh already gives you most of the EV convenience. There's a second angle for fence-sitters: a new flagship sometimes nudges mid-trim prices or brings discounts within a couple of months. So if you're not in a rush, holding off a bit could pay off either way. For most buyers, the Exclusive Pro at ₹15.4 lakh (₹1.1 lakh below Essence Pro) remains the smart sweet spot right now.
