The MG Astor is the newest entrant in the small-SUV segment in India. It does have a decent engine and comes loaded with most of the features you need, including ADAS. Like a jack of all trades, it does everything well. However, with prices from Rs 9.98 lakh to Rs 17.72 lakh (ex-showroom), it goes up against the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq, Kia Seltos, and even its own elder sibling, the MG Hector. So, should you still consider it? Cyrus Dhabhar tells you in his MG Astor review.

Put 3 more people in and then try crawling on those bumpy roads…. Then we can justify whether its a SUV’ish enough or not… i don’t drive on jungle roads alone, just trying to be practical…

@PowerDrift How will be upcoming Toyota Corolla cross Should be wait for Toyota sub suv which is having more features than Astor plus hybrid engine and look wise more aggressive than MG Astor What you suggest MG ASTOR Base Vs. Toyota Corolla Suv (Base) As already booked MG ASTOR Base variant and having patience for delivery upto a 1 year but need reliable car upto 15 yrs

I think I'm gonna stop watching Powerdrift channel. Lately all videos are simply opinions jammed together. You are not providing data. We respect your opinion on the cars, that is a major reason we follow your channel BUT data is important to us. We like if the choice is left to us as well. When comparing cars, we love comparison in detail, more data points, more direct visual approach. Even thought you do that in individual review videos, we definately appreciate if can see all the elements in a comparison video. It helps us work through our thinking process and helps us make decisions more easily and confidently.

Great to see every channel reviewing this car on road. But since it's PD will be interested to see 1.5l na review of this since that's were the market flocks not on this 1.3 turbo since the Koreans dominate in comfort and Germans are their for the sporty ride in the turbo price bracket

Compare this with zs ev. Why ev is 2.5x the price?

@kaushaldesai5126 2 года назад

Because of the battery pack ZS EV cost more because the cost of li ion batteries are too high otherwise everything form saftey to interior they're same

@mridulkasliwal 2 года назад

Don't compare it with the base Variant of Astor, it has all the features of sharp variant which is top variant except ADAS. so its not 2.5x.

@shrijitnair3957 2 года назад

Astor scores well on the interior and feature fronts, however lacks the driving dynamics. Its a good VFM package overall, however opting for Kushaq or Taigun just makes more sense.

@tejendrayalamanchili3869 2 года назад

But for what reasons? QC of Skoda and Volkswagen in general is going down, with the present issues their new cars are facing, and while it's true that MG is not as established and spares aren't immediately available locally and all, they've still managed to shake up the market and their QC is mostly up to mark (atleast so I've heard from friends who own them and online forums)

@shrijitnair3957 2 года назад

@@tejendrayalamanchili3869 Online forums these days are filled with sleeper cells and are mostly agenda driven! We have a Hector and a recently purchased VW Taigun Topline in the family and have previously owned a Skoda Laura. I speak from my experience- MG makes good cars which I ain’t denying, however the driving dynamics of any German car- you would instantly feel the difference. They’re a different league and just class apart!

@tejendrayalamanchili3869 2 года назад

@@shrijitnair3957 I totally agree with you, in terms of driving dynamics and general feel, the German brands are up there, if only they wouldn't substitute quantity for quality and competitive pricing, especially when they've had so long to do so.

@mridulkasliwal 2 года назад

Bhai taigun ka i accept driving dynamics are better but generally people want a comfortable seats and great interior with the driving, u can't just opt for taigun with just one parameter, again, keep in mind i talking about 90% public, not the one's who only care about the turbo dct\dsg engine .

@rohannaik4761 2 года назад

That trail u used for off-roading is too easy even for a decent hatchback. A sedan might scrape here and there, but for a compact SUV or a hatchback, its too easy. But fair point to u guys, people wont face any worser situations than that on their day to day like. That trail mostly represented the diversions we find on the highways sometimes.

@vemmanr 2 года назад

You don't need an "SUV" to drive that road. I have taken my 2005 Indigo to many places like that.. Only issue with Indigo is that the power steering motor has pipe stretching into front it will snap easily (still drivable but heavy steering).. This happens not just on bad roads but on good roads too. Here in Kerala especially in hilly areas you will have long paved dips (inverse of humps) for waterflow. If Indigo is loaded it will easily snap the power steering pipe. BTW: 2.75L Kms and still going strong as second car.

@CyrusDhabhar 2 года назад

I can guarantee you can’t do this trail in an indigo. Or any sedan / hatchback. It looks easy on screen, it isn’t.

@Pragy 2 года назад

The fact is that these are just cars with a little more ground clearance. Even a hatchback or a sedan can do this any given day. These are UVs or at the most MUVs.
