2025 MG Astor Price and Variants
The 2025 MG Astor has been launched in five variants – Sprint, Shine, Select, Sharp Pro, and Savvy Pro.

The Shine variant is priced at Rs 12.48 lakh, while the Select variant is available with manual transmission for Rs 13.82 lakh and with CVT automatic for Rs 14.85 lakh. Getting so many features at this price makes it a strong contender against SUVs like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Maruti Grand Vitara.
New features that make it special
This time, MG has focused on the Shine and Select variants. The Shine variant now has a panoramic sunroof and a six-speaker audio system. It is the only SUV in its segment to offer a sunroof for less than Rs 12.5 lakh. At the same time, six airbags and premium ivory leatherette seats have been added for safety in the Select variant, which makes it even more attractive.
Apart from this, features like ventilated front seats, wireless charging, wireless Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay have also been provided in the 2025 MG Astor. The updated i-Smart 2.0 system with an auto-dimming rearview mirror and over 80 connected features makes it a great SUV for tech-friendly people. The top variants also get Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), which makes driving safer and easier.
Design and Looks
The 2025 MG Astor’s exterior design remains the same. Its front has a large grille, LED headlamps with daytime running lights, and wraparound LED taillamps. The 17-inch alloy wheels give it a sporty look. Although there have been no major changes from the outside, people still like its style. The cabin’s interior looks quite premium, especially due to the new seats and smart technology.
Engine and performance
This SUV has two engine options. The first is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, which generates 108 horsepower and 144 Nm of torque. It can be had with a 5-speed manual or CVT gearbox. The second is a 1.3-liter turbo-petrol engine, which produces 138 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque and comes only with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Both engines give good performance for city and highway driving.
Safety and technology
In terms of safety, the 2025 MG Astor does not compromise at all. It has features like a 360-degree camera, hill ascent and descent control, and six airbags. Apart from this, ADAS features like automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist are also available in the top models. With Jio’s voice recognition technology, you can easily get information like weather, news, and cricket scores. All these features make it a reliable and modern SUV.
If you want an SUV that is affordable as well as offers premium features, then the 2025 MG Astor is a great option. Its panoramic sunroof, safety features, and connected technology make it stand out from other SUVs. It is not only stylish and modern, but also safe and comfortable for the family.
