MG Astor Price Hike – Revised Rates Announced with Increases Up to Rs. 19,000 Across Variants

MG Motor has once again updated the prices of its popular SUV, the Astor. Following earlier revisions on the Comet EV and Windsor EV, the Astor – which rivals the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara – is the latest to receive a bump in prices. So, how much more do you need to shell out now? Let’s break it down variant by variant.

Overview

The MG Astor has steadily gained attention in India’s compact SUV segment. Known for its premium interiors, AI-powered features, and a bold design, the Astor competes head-on with some of the best-selling SUVs in the market. But like many other carmakers adjusting to rising input costs, MG has revised prices across most of its Astor variants. The increase ranges from ₹13,000 to ₹19,000 depending on the variant, with just one exception.

Hikes

Let’s talk numbers. The entry-level Sprint 1.5 MT and Select 1.5 MT now cost ₹18,000 more than before. If you’re eyeing the mid-spec Shine 1.5 MT, prepare to pay an additional ₹19,000. The Sharp Pro 1.5 MT follows closely with a price increase of ₹13,000.

For the automatic lovers out there, three variants – Select 1.5 CVT, Sharp Pro 1.5 CVT, and Sharp Pro 1.5 CVT dual-tone – now come with a uniform hike of ₹15,000. The rest of the variants? They’ve each gone up by ₹17,000.

Here’s a breakdown in a table for easy reference:

Variant	Price Hike
Sprint 1.5 MT	₹18,000
Select 1.5 MT	₹18,000
Shine 1.5 MT	₹19,000
Sharp Pro 1.5 MT	₹13,000
Select 1.5 CVT	₹15,000
Sharp Pro 1.5 CVT	₹15,000
Sharp Pro 1.5 CVT Dual-Tone	₹15,000
All other variants	₹17,000
Savvy Pro 1.3 Turbo AT	No Change

Pricing

Post the hike, the MG Astor now starts at ₹11.48 lakh and tops out at ₹18.55 lakh (ex-showroom). That’s still fairly competitive considering the tech-laden features and stylish design that the SUV offers. The unchanged pricing of the top-spec Savvy Pro 1.3 Turbo AT is particularly interesting—it could be MG’s way of maintaining a value proposition at the top-end of the lineup.

Comparison

Now, how does this position the Astor against its rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara? While competitors have also seen price hikes in recent months, MG continues to price the Astor aggressively—especially when you consider the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), panoramic sunroof, and AI assistant it offers.

For buyers looking at the lower or mid-level variants, however, the increased prices may lead them to reconsider options. Still, MG’s feature-rich approach offers decent value even at the revised prices.

Verdict

In short, the MG Astor continues to be a compelling choice in the compact SUV space, even with the new prices. The hikes are moderate and aligned with industry trends, though it does pinch a bit at the entry and mid-level. If you were planning to buy an Astor, now’s the time to evaluate which variant offers the best bang for your buck before further revisions come into play.
