MANILA: Morris Garages (MG) has introduced the all-new Windsor electric vehicle (EV) for the Indian market, and it has plenty of characteristics that Filipino car buyers would also want. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The MG Windsor can produce up to 134 horsepower and 200 Newton-meters of torque.
  • What is the electric cruising range of the MG Windsor?

    The MG Windsor has an electric cruising range of up to 332 kilometers.

    So, what is the all-new MG Windsor offering? 

    Exterior

    On the outside, the Windsor is underpinned by what MG calls the “AeroGlide” design language. It appears downright futuristic, and it appears to have a rounded version of the typical high-riding crossover.

    Up front, it gets the usual closed-off grille of an EV, but its front fascia utilizes a multi-tiered look with its LED lighting layout. Specifically, it sports an LED daytime running lamp bar, while the main LED headlamp clusters are found on the lower portion of the vehicle’s front face. 

    On the upper portions of the vehicle’s front end, it received a short hood section, which smoothly led upwards to a diagonally aligned windshield. The said windshield transitions to a sizable glass goof and towards an equally large rear window.
