mg_astor_turbo

This is the 4th new SUV from MG Motor in a short time and that shows the intent of the car-maker along with the fact that SUVs are pretty much all that the Indian car buyer wants. SUVs do make sense but it is the compact SUV class that is getting popular. These are SUVs which are the right size along with having the perfect combination of space, features and useability. They are not too big but also not too small so as to be cramped. The MG Astor is the newest entrant in that space and while this segment is getting awfully crowded off-late, MG Motor claims it has packed in enough to make it stand out. Let's see.

When you see it, the Astor is a conventionally good looking SUV while the design slants towards being a crossover. That said it is bigger than rivals and looks so with a sporty, long hood and a slanting rear. The front is interesting with that nice grille along with the narrow LED headlamps. From the side and rear the way the window line gets upward and the wide tail-lamps- all gives it a premium look. There are dual exhaust tops along with roof rails and cladding too. We had the top-end variants with the 17-inch wheels and they again look great.
