Gurugram – MG Motor India has dropped the mic (and the roof – it’s panoramic) with the 2025 edition of its Astor SUV, proudly positioning it as the only mid-size marvel in the ₹12.5 lakh bracket to come with a 10-inch infotainment screen and a panoramic sunroof — a combination previously seen only in luxury SUVs or very generous dreams.
The company calls it the “Blockbuster SUV”, and the Astor seems ready for a Friday release with first-day-first-show energy. With standard 10” infotainment across all variants and a sunroof that opens wider than most family secrets, MG has clearly set its sights on middle-class hearts and top-spec aspirations.
And it doesn’t stop there.
The 1.5L CVT ‘Sharp Pro’ variant slides in under ₹15 lakh and comes bearing gifts like wireless charging, heated ORVMs (yes, heated mirrors — because winters, fog and status), and ventilated front seats, ensuring both you and your phone remain cool and composed in traffic.
Meanwhile, the newly launched ‘Shine’ and ‘Select’ trims add more glitter to the lineup than a wedding procession in Delhi. MG has generously sprinkled over 50 safety features, ADAS with 14 intelligent assists, and a Jio-powered voice assistant that can tell you the weather, cricket scores, your horoscope, and probably your in-laws’ whereabouts.
All this comes wrapped in MG’s updated i-SMART 2.0 tech, with 80+ connected features and a Digital Key with Anti-Theft – perfect for those “Did I lock the car?” 3 AM anxieties.
JSW MG Motor’s recipe is simple yet potent: take practical powertrains (VTi-TECH 1.5L with MT and CVT), load them with goodies, price them with generosity, and call it a “Blockbuster”. The critics (and customers) may just agree.
So if you’re in the market for an SUV that looks like a star, performs like a pro, and costs less than your neighbour’s LED TV subscription over 10 years — the MG Astor might just be the ticket you’ve been waiting to book.
