The 2025 MG Astor has officially arrived, and it’s bringing more than just a refreshed badge. Priced from Rs. 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this compact SUV is back with smarter features, added safety, and creature comforts that are sure to rattle the competition. Whether you’re a tech geek or just someone who loves a good drive, the new Astor has something to offer.
Variants
One of the biggest highlights is the introduction of a brand-new Shine variant. What makes it stand out? A panoramic sunroof. At a price point under Rs. 12.5 lakh, this is the only SUV in the segment to offer that feature, and it’s a big deal for sunroof lovers on a budget.
The Select variant also gets a major upgrade. You now get six airbags, upping the safety game significantly. And the cabin? It’s a lot classier thanks to the addition of ivory leatherette seats that give it a premium touch without the premium price.
Features
MG didn’t stop at just design and safety. The 2025 Astor comes loaded with tech updates that make it feel more like a smartphone on wheels. It now includes:
- Auto-dimming IRVM
- Ventilated front seats
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Wireless phone charger
But the real star of the show is the updated i-Smart 2.0 system. This new version packs in over 80 connected features, including voice recognition that actually understands you and a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). From traffic alerts to collision warnings, this SUV has your back on the road.
Interior
The inside of the Astor is all about comfort and style. MG has focused on creating a clean and modern layout that’s easy on the eyes and smooth to operate. With features like leatherette upholstery and a tech-heavy infotainment system, it’s got that luxury vibe without emptying your wallet.
Everything feels intuitive and driver-friendly. The seats are plush, the controls fall right where you need them, and the quality across the cabin is surprisingly premium for its price segment.
Powertrain
You’ve got options when it comes to what drives the 2025 MG Astor. Three powertrain setups are on offer:
| Engine Type | Transmission |
|---|---|
| 1.5L Petrol | 5-speed Manual / CVT |
| 1.3L Turbo Petrol | 6-speed Automatic |
The 1.5-litre petrol is perfect for daily commuters looking for smooth drives and decent mileage, while the 1.3-litre turbo offers that extra punch for those who like spirited driving. MG gives you the flexibility to choose what fits your lifestyle best.
Value
With the new features, improved safety, and tech additions, the 2025 MG Astor feels like a solid value proposition. It’s ticking boxes left and right—whether you’re after comfort, convenience, or connected tech.
MG’s move to keep the pricing competitive while upgrading the package shows they’re serious about staying ahead in the mid-size SUV race. For anyone considering a new SUV this year, the Astor definitely deserves a test drive.
