MG India has hinted at the launch of an updated version of the Astor SUV in the country through a post on Twitter. The automaker claims that the upcoming variant of the MG Astor will be the “most advanced SUV in its class,” although specific details about the car have not been revealed.
In a tweet, MG India wrote, “Get ready for the inimitable fusion of technology and luxury. The Most Advanced SUV in its class is here.”
The current model of the MG Astor SUV starts at ₹10.81 lakh (ex-showroom) and offers a range of features including a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, steering-mounted controls, and a wireless charger.
The SUV also boasts a panoramic sunroof and various safety features such as six airbags, a 360-degree camera, an electronic parking brake, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, an AI-powered assistant, and a Level 2 ADAS suite.
The updated model of the MG Astor is anticipated to come with a larger touchscreen infotainment system, possibly a 14-inch unit similar to the one offered in the MG Hector facelift.
