MG Motor India has increased the prices of its MG Astor compact SUV by Rs. 10,000, effective immediately. The price hike affects all the trims in MG Astor’s range that includes Style, Super, Smart, Sharp, and Sharp (O). The new prices of the MG Astor now start from Rs. 10.32 lakh for the base version and goes up to Rs. 18.22 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for the top-spec version. MG is also offering a price hike on the EX-variants of the Astor that essentially loses out on a few safety features for quicker delivery of the car.
The MG Astor is powered by a 1.5-litre NA petrol engine and a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine. While the NA unit develops 108 bhp and 144 Nm of torque paired to a 6-speed manual and a CVT unit, the more powerful version of the car churns out 138 bhp and 220 Nm coupled to a 6-speed AT.

However, a few of the features such as ESP, TC, HSA, and HDC are missed out on the EX trims.
