- Super 1.5 MT variant gets the highest price increase
- Prices of other MG models remain unchanged
MG Motor India has discreetly hiked the prices of the Astor SUV. The mid-size SUV that was launched in the country back in October 2021 has received a price rise of up to Rs 46,000.
The Astor is broadly available in five trims namely Style, Super, Sharp, Smart, and Savvy. The 1.5-litre versions get a hike ranging between Rs 30,000 to Rs 46,000. Whereas the 1.3-litre versions, which are available only in Smart and Sharp variants get expensive by Rs 30,000 and Rs 40,000, respectively.
The highlights of MG Astor include LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, 17-inch alloys, a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, three interior themes, connected car tech, an AI assistant, and ADAS functions.

The MG Astor is powered by two petrol engines. The 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine generates 108bhp and 144Nm torque while the 1.3-litre turbo-petrol mill churns out 138bhp and 220Nm of peak torque. While the former is linked to a five-speed manual gearbox, the latter is coupled solely with a six-speed automatic transmission.
