The company reported total sales of 1,80,077 units last month, showing a modest 3.2% increase compared to 1,74,551 units sold in May 2024.

Back home, things were a bit slower - domestic sales, including both passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles, stood at 1,38,690 units, down 5.5% from the previous year.

Windsor Pro propels MG to post 40% sales growth in May
MG Windsor Pro has played a key role in the sales growth of the automaker. MG Windsor Pro has played a key role in the sales growth of the automaker. Check Offers JSW MG Motor India, the joint venture of JSW Group and SAIC Motor, on Sunday reported a 40 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in sales of its passenger vehicles. The auto company has retailed 6,304 units of passenger vehicles in May 2025, as compared to 4,510 units registered in May 2024. This sales growth comes on the back of the launch of Windsor Pro, which was introduced as a long-range version of the MG Windsor EV. Since the launch of the Windsor EV, MG has claimed a significant sales uptick and attributed this surge to the upmarket electric car, which was launched with a plethora of features and most interestingly, with the choice of battery-as-a-subscription (BaaS) for the consumers. While the traditional vehicle buying model is still there, the availability of the BaaS has ramped up the appeal of the EV significantly to consumers. The car manufacturer took the same strategy for the MG Windsor Pro as well. The MG Windsor Pro was launched in two variant choices - Essence Pro and Exclusive Pro. The MG Windsor Pro comes powered by a 52.9 kWh battery pack, which enables the electric car to run up to 449 kilometres on a single charge. The MG Windsor, on the other hand, gets energy from a 38 kWh battery pack that allows it to run up to a 332 kilometres range on a full charge. However, despite the Windsor and Windsor Pro being powered by two different battery packs, power and torque output remain the same at 134 bhp and 200 Nm, respectively. MG Windsor Pro: What it offers? The MG Windsor Pro comes with a host of additional features that are not available in the regular Windsor. The Pro variant of the EV gets features such as a powered tailgate, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging features. There is an ADAS suite that offers adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and much more. The MG Windsor EV Essence Pro costs ₹ 13.09 lakh (ex-showroom) with the BaaS model opted. Without the battery subscription plan, the MG Windsor EV Pro costs ₹ 18.10 lakh (ex-showroom). The MG Windsor Exclusive Pro variant, however, misses features like a sunroof, ventilated front seats, a PM2.5 air filter, as well as an ADAS suite. These features are available in the top-end Exclusive Pro trim. The MG Windsor EV Pro exclusive variant costs ₹ 17.25 lakh (ex-showroom). The Windsor EV Pro exclusive variant costs ₹ 12.24 lakh (ex-showroom) with the BaaS program opted.

Korean automaker Kia India has recorded a year-on-year rise of 14.43 per cent in May 2025 with overall sales of 22,315 units compared to 19,500 units sold in May 2024. The company informed that the new Kia Carens Clavis, which was recently launched, has witnessed an overwhelming response. MPV was introduced with a beginning price of ₹11.49 lakh, ex-showroom. Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President and National Head of Sales & Marketing of Kia India, stated that with the Carens Clavis, the company expects to create new benchmarks for the segment and make it more exciting than ever before. "As we expand our portfolio further, we stay committed to providing future-proof mobility solutions that build trust and spread joy among our customers," he further added. ₹ 20 Lakhs Onwards ₹ 18.98 - 26.64 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 18.9 - 26.9 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 22 - 25 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 21.9 - 30.5 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 17.99 - 23.5 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon (Also read: Kia Carens Clavis EV spotted ahead of launch) Surprisingly, the company announced that the new product from Kia will be launched in July. This is likely to be the Kia Carens Clavis based EV, Kia's first India made electric vehicle. Crafted to shake up its segment, the new offering will harmoniously integrate sustainability with Kia's design prowess and sophisticated technology, carefully designed to address the changing mobility aspirations of Indian customers, the company said. The new Kia Carens EV would feature a design that is akin to the Carens Clavis. There would be certain unique styling features as well. Being an electric vehicle, it would feature a closed off grille akin to the Kia EV9. Also, there would be redesigned front and rear bumpers, and the alloy wheels also would have new design. The spyshot indicates that it would have increased ground clearance and there would be new suspension design as well. Kia Carens EV would be equipped with a myriad of features. It's reasonable to expect a digital instrument cluster and 12.25 touchscreen infotainment system like the Kia Carens Clavis along other expected features such as an air purifier, 360-degree surround camera, wireless phone charger. (Also read: Kia Carens Clavis launched at ₹11.49 lakh) The new Kia Carens EV is said to take the majority of its powertrain from the new Hyundai Creta EV. If that happens, it would take juice from a 45 kWh battery pack coupled with an electric motor that is used in the low-end Hyundai Kona EV worldwide. The Carens EV should receive a front axle-mounted electric motor. Kia does not yet announce any specification information regarding the EV. Nonetheless, anticipate that the Carens EV provides plenty of range on a single charge.
