MG Motor
Astor
The Astor was first to bring level-2 ADAS to the segment and still undercuts rivals on features per rupee. Ageing engines and softer resale are the trade-offs.

▲ 15The suspension is tuned too soft. There is a lot of body roll around corners, and the car floats and bounces on wavy highway roads, making rear passengers feel car-sick.

▲ 8The headlights throw is very poor. The white LED high beam looks fancy but has zero penetration in rainy or foggy conditions, making night highway driving quite scary.

▲ 5Very practical family car. Cabin space is class-leading, dashboard layout is clean, and the panoramic sunroof makes the interior feel huge. Service costs are predictable too.

▲ 14Quality of interior plastics is a letdown for a car costing this much. There are annoying creaks from the dashboard and door pads when going over rough roads. Service center couldn't fix it.

▲ 13The NA petrol is smooth and adequate in city, but feels flat and underpowered when fully loaded on the highway. You have to rev it hard to make quick overtakes.

Wheelbase (2,585 mm)
On the Astor, the wheelbase is 25 mm shorter than the segment median. Rear space is typical for cars in this segment. A longer wheelbase also reduces pitch over potholes and speed breakers.
Automobile Literacy
Jargon-Free Safety & Tech
What all those complex brochure codes actually mean in plain, practical terms.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) & VSM
Emergency Anti-Skid. If the vehicle senses a loss of traction (like on wet mud or when swerving to avoid an obstacle), it automatically applies brakes to individual wheels to keep you on your steered path. Essential for safety.
HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)
Roll-back Prevention. When starting the vehicle on a steep slope (like a flyover or basement mall ramp), it holds the brakes for 2 seconds after you release the pedal, giving you time to move your foot to the accelerator.
6 SRS Airbags (Standard)
Full-Cabin Cushioning. Protects all occupants in case of an impact. Includes two front airbags, two seat-mounted side airbags, and two curtain airbags that shield front and rear passengers' heads from side window impacts.
All-Wheel Disc Brakes
Consistent Stopping Power. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes dissipate heat quickly, preventing brake fade. They stop the vehicle shorter, more predictably, and with far less foot pressure.
Star Map LED DRLs & Headlamps
Advanced Night Vision. LEDs throw a much whiter, wider, and brighter beam than yellow halogens, reducing eye fatigue during night highway runs. Star Map running lights make you highly visible to oncoming traffic.
