Pros Cons of MG Astor

Pros

  • Premium interior with sporty design. 
  • Advanced infotainment features like a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a seven-inch digital driver's display, ADAS, and an AI assistant
  • The turbo-petrol engine offers a smooth drive

Cons

  • The rear cabin width is not ideal for three passengers.
  • Does not get the option of a diesel engine.

Verdict

The MG Astor lands up in one of the most competitive compact SUV segments, and with a price tag of Rs. 9-15 lakh, it is definitely a very attractive proposition in terms of value for money. However, it lacks a diesel engine option and does not feel very sporty to drive.

The Astor is a real showstopper as it is very plush, very modern, and very feature-loaded, right from the connected car technology to the panoramic sunroof. So if you are looking for comfort, features, and safety at a very aggressive price point, the MG Astor is definitely a very attractive proposition.

Best For and Not Ideal For 

Best For

  • Buyers seeking premium interiors. 
  • Tech enthusiasts who want segment-first Level 2 ADAS, AI assistants, and connected-car tech. 
  • Urban commuters who prioritise comfort at affordable pricing.

Not Ideal For 

  • Families require accommodation for three rear passengers.
  • Enthusiasts require sporty handling, responsive steering, or dynamic performance.
  • Those requiring diesel variants, high mileage, or turbo acceleration.

Pros Cons of Kia Seltos

Pros

  • The turbo-petrol engine is incredibly fast
  • A solid, up-to-date safety suite
  • The dual 12.3-inch screens
  • Still offers a proper diesel engine

Cons

  • Stiff suspension on broken city roads
  • The turbo-petrol engine has lower fuel economy
  • Top-spec GTX and X-Line variants are very expensive
  • Rear headroom is slightly tight for tall passengers

Verdict

The Kia Seltos is one apt car that offers a powertrain combination for literally every type of buyer, whether you want cheap daily commutes with the NA petrol, high mileage with the diesel, or aggressive speed with the turbo-petrol. Kia also listened to the consumer base and fixed its biggest flaw by securing a five-star crash safety rating. The only real downside is the firm ride quality over bad roads. But if you can live with feeling a few bumps in the city, the Kia Seltos gets most of the other driving essentials right.

As Seshan concludes,

“The new-gen Seltos raises the bar. It’s bolder and more distinctive.”
