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.

Tesla misses out on European EV growth as Model Y fails to revive sales
By Jesus Calero (Reuters) -Tesla's sales in Europe fell 49% in April from a year earlier, even though battery-electric car sales rose 27.8%, as the U.S. EV maker's upgrade of its Model Y shows little sign of reviving the brand's fortunes in the region. Overall car sales in Europe dipped 0.3%, with the strongest growth coming from electric and plug-in hybrid cars, data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Tesla's European sales fell for the fourth straight month, as a backlash against CEO Elon Musk's political views combined with a tepid reception for the new Model Y and heightened competition from European and Chinese players. Tesla's European market share dropped to just 0.7% from 1.3% a year ago. European carmakers are striving to cut costs amid stiff competition, U.S. tariffs on auto imports, and a slowing global economy, with the outlook uncertain despite eased U.S.-China trade tensions. BY THE NUMBERS April sales in the European Union, Britain and the European Free Trade Association fell to 1.07 million cars, following 2.8% growth in March, the ACEA data showed. Registrations at Chinese state-owned SAIC Motor and Japan's Mitsubishi rose 24.5% and 22.1% respectively, while they fell 24.5% at Japan's Mazda. In the EU alone - not including Britain and the EFTA - total car sales have fallen 1.2% so far this year. That is despite continued growth in demand for EVs, with registrations of battery-electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hybrid-electric (HEV) cars rising 26.4%, 7.8% and 20.8% respectively. EV sales in the bloc - whether BEV, HEV or PHEV - accounted for 59.2% of passenger car registrations in April, up from 47.7% in the previous year. Among the largest EU markets, total car sales in Spain and Italy increased by 7.1% and 2.7% respectively, while in France and Germany they dropped by 5.6% and 0.2%. In Britain, registrations were down 10.4%.
