The long-range version of the MG Windsor EV is set to debut in India on May 6, 2025. The Windsor EV was first introduced in September 2024 with a 38 kWh battery pack. The Pro version is expected to feature a 52.9 kWh battery, producing 136 PS of power delivery and 200 Nm of torque, significantly increasing its overall range.

Kia Clavis

​The premium and more equipped version of Kia Carens, the Kia Clavis MPV, is all set to be unveiled on May 8, 2025.

The Clavis is anticipated to have several premium features like ventilated rear seats, an updated dashboard layout, a 360-degree camera, and a new infotainment system.
