The international-spec plug-in hybrid T2 i-DM SUV is built on a monocoque chassis while sporting a boxy design, which gives it a rugged appeal.  The T2 i-DM features both 5-seater and 7-seater layouts, based on the variants and trims. The globally sold plug-in hybrid version of the T2 i-DM is powered by a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 156.3PS at 5,200rpm and 220Nm at 2,500rpm while the two electric motors together produce 224.3PS and 390Nm.

JSW said that they will only be launching the plug-in hybrid version of the SUV, while key features like drivetrain and trims remain undisclosed as of yet. Following the SUV, a second launch is confirmed for 2027, but mystery continues to shroud this newcomer as well, since no specific details have been confirmed.

The India-spec T2 i-DM is expected to be priced between ₹15 lakh and ₹30 lakh, opening up its competition quite broadly to popular SUVs in the market. Depending on the drivetrain (FWD/4WD), it will rival the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Tata Harrier, Tata Safari, Mahindra XUV 7XO, Jeep Compass, Jeep Meridian, Volkswagen Tiguan, and the Skoda Kodiaq.

In a segment this crowded and competitive, the India-spec T2 i-DM’s price and capability will ultimately decide if it’s here to stay, or here to sway.

The MG Windsor covered a distance of 3,757 kilometres from Leh to Kanyakumari in 83 hours and 43 minutes. The feat has been officially acknowledged by the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records, marking it as the first EV in India to complete this journey in the fastest recorded time.

The drive was executed by Mountain Goat, a team of motorsport professionals, who took the vehicle from Ladakh to Tamil Nadu. The journey included 20 charging stops, highlighting improvements in India’s fast charging infrastructure as well as the practicality of long distance EV travel. These stops were mapped using the e-Hub by MG app, which provides access to more than 13,000 charging points from multiple network operators.
