MG Astor Revealed: Features & Specifications

A series of sporadic teasers has ended with MG finally undraping their new contender in the mid-sized SUVs arena, MG Astor. Based on its electrical sibling MG ZS EV, MG Astor is expected to come across as the strongest rival of Hyundai Creta. Since MG Hector has been considerably praised by Indians so far, let’s see what MG Astor is intending to serve.



MG Astor Exteriors

Since MG Astor is based on the MG ZS EV, the overall appearance has much of its semblance. MG Astor (4.3m) will be 0.3 m shorter than the MG Hector (4.6m). The differentiating elements from ZS EV at the front include a uniquely designed celestial hexagonal grill, diamond-cut 17-inch alloy wheels, reworked bumper, new headlights with LED DRLS, fresh housing for fog lights. On the rear, there is a new bumper with dual exhaust attached with a faux skid plate.
