MG Astor vs MG Gloster Comparison

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 

The MG Gloster is an absolute mammoth of an SUV that delivers incredible value for your money. It does not try to be a sporty corner-carver; instead, it focuses on isolating you from the chaos of the outside world. The cabin is airy, the seats are plush, and the suspension effortlessly irons out bad stretches of tarmac. Its twin-turbo 2.0-Litre diesel engine has enough grunt to hustle this heavy vehicle without breaking a sweat.

Sure, it might not have the badge snobbery of its Japanese rivals, but it easily undercuts them on sheer equipment and everyday usability. And with the MG Majestor stepping up as its successor, the Gloster may exhibit its age compared to more modern vehicles. But if you’re okay with these nuances, and you have a large family that demands a comfortable mile-muncher, the MG Gloster will still thrill you with its true 4x4 capability and that genuinely upmarket interior.

As Kingshuk concludes,

“The MG Gloster has a lot to offer. It is really, really big, feels solidly built, offers a lot of features and creature comfort options and the driving experience is quite good too.”
