What are the automatic variants of MG Astor?

MG Astor will come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. As for mileage, it would be unfair to give a verdict as MG Astor hasn't launched yet. So we would suggest you to wait for the car to get launch. Stay tuned for further updates. Follow the link to get an alert when MG Astor is launched.

The Astor gets two petrol engines in India: a 1.3-liter turbocharged unit (140PS/220Nm) and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated mill (110PS/144Nm). While the former is paired to a 6-speed automatic, the latter gets both a 6-speed manual and CVT options.

MG Astor is a well-balanced, compact SUV with a good mix of design, quality, performance, and safety. If you are in the market looking for an attractive SUV with a host of new and segment-first features, premium quality interiors, and the safety of autonomous systems then the Astor would be a brilliant pick. However, there are some areas where the Astor could have been better. The back seat, for example, lacks enough under thigh support, and the narrow cabin means the car will be comfortable for only four people. It also misses out on some feel-good features compared to its competitors. But what makes up for the misses is the ADAS system. Going by our short-lived experience, it proved to be well-calibrated and promises to make your everyday drive much safer and convenient. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.

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.
