    We drove the Astor mainly on the circuit, and after two hot laps around the Buddha's technical layout, we came away quite surprised. Obviously, it’s not a sports car, but we weren't expecting it to be as much fun as it turned out to be. The turbo-petrol motor has good pulling power, and thanks to its free-revving nature, we managed to cross 160kmph down the long 1km straight with ease. The gearbox does feel a bit slow -- both in terms of upshifts and downshifts -- especially out on the racetrack. But on the road, it might prove to be quick enough. What this gearbox does well, however, is it masks this motor's initial lag, which is typical of most turbo-petrol engines. So, even while exiting slow-second-gear corners of the circuit, the engine and gearbox combine ended up pulling away quite strongly and smoothly. Now coming to the handling bit. Obviously, it's a tall car with the suspension tuned for the road. So it does roll quite a bit when you hustle it into corners. But while doing so, it feels safe and predictable. In fact, to a certain extent, it feels quite sporty, thanks to the direct steering that has a quick ratio off-center, because of which the Astor feels quite agile. Even the chassis is well-tuned as you don’t experience much understeer even when you attack corners. Since we drove the Astor on a smooth surface, we cannot comment on how the Astor will tackle our usual potholed roads. So ride quality is something we will focus on when we drive it next on the road. Moreover, for a better understanding of performance and driving comfort, we would suggest you take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

  • MG Astor: Intelligent Drive Wrapped in Elegance

    The MG Astor my latest acquisition boasts of technology and luxury uncommon in it is segment. The drive is smooth with the car offering multiple engine options including the turbocharged petrol offering considerable passion for the urban jungle. However the fuel efficiency has been a segment of a letdown. Additionally during peak Indian summer the air conditioning although decent struggles against the intense heat. Yet the spacious cabin along with a excess of tech offerings makes the MG Astor a compelling choice for those valuing comfort and technology over fuel economy.

I too am planning to get this as soon as possible.

  • my best recommendation

    The MG ZS EV provides a good pick-up (enjoyable to drive) and handles well on city streets and decent on highways. It is the love most attracting car in my car collections most of the people ask about its features . It has a stylish and modern design with a panoramic sunroof (sharp exterior). The comfort is the key features of this car it has comfortable seats for most passengers, but front leg space is uncomfortable for three adults (good for families of four)
