MG Astor Open Fuel Lid

The MG Astor joins our CarWale long term garage.

The MG Astor is slotted in the heavily competitive C-segment of SUVs dominated by the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and the likes. Yet, this petrol-powered avatar of the ZS EV is said to have ample differentiating factors from its rivals. MG also expects significant volumes from this petrol-only SUV. But, is it that competitive enough? To find out, we put its top-spec 1.3-litre turbo petrol version mated to a six-speed automatic through our extensive road test cycle regime.

Don't want to join the Creta bandwagon when buying a new SUV? Consider the MG Astor and Volkswagen Taigun.
