The Astor is available in four trims: Style, Super, Smart, and Sharp. It is powered by 110PS 1.5-litre petrol and 140PS 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engines. While the turbo engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic, the naturally aspirated unit gets 6-speed manual and CVT options.
MG is offering the Astor with automatic LED headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, connected car technology, a personal AI-assistant in shape of a robot-head device, a panoramic sunroof, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and a bluetooth key.
Safety is covered by an optional ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance System) which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, pilot-assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a 360-degree camera, and blind-spot monitoring. Further, you get all-four disc brakes, electronics stability control, traction control, hill ascent/descent as standard and up to six airbags.
The Astor rivals the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Nissan Kicks, Renault Duster, and Maruti Suzuki S-Cross.
