The Astor is expected to debut with features like a digital instrument cluster and more plus being powered by petrol engines. The design going by the image shared is based on the facelifted ZS and is essentially the new ZS albeit with a petrol engine. It will be going against the likes of the compact SUVs at the 4m plus segment, being smaller than the Hector. We will know more about the Astor soon, stay tuned.
