Common questions
- Which MG Astor variant gives you the most equipment for the money?
- The Select 1.5 Petrol MT. It costs ₹2,61,000 more than the base Sprint 1.5 Petrol MT, and adds 14 features we value at ₹2,05,000 — the most equipment per rupee of any upgrade on this car — which is a measurement, not a recommendation.
- How many variants does the MG Astor have?
- 7 across 2 powertrains (Petrol manual, Petrol CVT), from ₹9,79,100 to ₹15,30,100 ex-showroom.
- Is it better to buy a lower trim and add accessories afterwards?
- It depends on what you're after. Cosmetic items — alloy wheels, seat covers, infotainment screens — can usually be fitted afterwards. Safety and structural equipment such as additional airbags, ESC, ADAS and a factory sunroof generally cannot be retrofitted, so if you want those they have to come from the factory.
