MG Motor India has unveiled MG
Astor, India’s first SUV with personal AI assistant and first-in-segment Autonomous (Level 2)
technology. Astor is based on the MG’s successful global platform, ZS.
Astor’s contemporary style will connect with consumers. It has a prominent Bold Celestial Grille
that makes a solid on-road impression. Astor’s nine crystal diamond elements in the LED
headlamps make for a distinct hawk-eye expression with precise details. The interiors are
elegantly crafted with soft-touch and premium material. It will be coming in two engine options
– the Brit Dynamic 220TURBO petrol engine and the VTi Tech petrol engine.
The much-awaited mid-size MG Astor will be on display at MG showrooms from 19 September
and bookings will start soon thereafter.
MG Astor’s personal AI assistant depicts human-like emotions and voice. The Paralympic
athlete Deepa Malik has lent her voice to the personal AI assistant, thereby humanising the
experience. MG has partnered with BOSCH for ADAS (Advanced driver-assistance systems) in
Astor. AI technology, six radars and five cameras equip the SUV to manage 14 advanced
Autonomous Level 2 features. The car ensures a safer driving experience with 27 standard safety
features. Among its host of comfort, convenience and safety features include 6 airbags, 6-way
power-adjustable driver seats, electric parking brake, heated ORVM, rain-sensing wiper, PM 2.5
filter, panoramic sky roof, rear AC vent and front and rear armrest,10.1-inch HD infotainment
system and 7-inch embedded LCD screen. MG Astor hosts subscriptions and services, including
