JSW MG Motor India has launched the 2025 MG Astor SUV in the Indian market. The SUV is now available from around Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) and is also renamed as "Blockbuster SUV". No change has been made to the engine of the car in this version, but the list of its variants has been rearranged. So that premium features can be provided at a low price.

This time the company has removed the 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The MG Astor is now available only with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. This engine produces 109 bhp of power and 144 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed CVT automatic transmission option.

MG claims that the 2025 Astor has become the only SUV in its segment to offer a panoramic sunroof at a starting price of less than Rs 13 lakh (ex-showroom), and it is available in the Shine variant. Apart from this, now the Select variant has been given six airbags and ivory leather seats, making it even more safe and attractive.

It has various premium and high-end features such as ventilated front row seats, wireless charger, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and auto-dimming IRVM, that make driving more comfortable and safe. In addition to this, it has a new i-SMART 2.0 system, which comes with an advanced user interface and more than 80 connected features.

The most notable aspect is that it has a Jio voice recognition system, where the driver can control the car's features without using their hands. Also, the anti-theft feature and digital key feature make it even more secure, with or without a network.

Rakesh Sen, Sales and Operations Director, JSW MG Motor India, said, "MG Astor has now come to the market with a new confidence. It is the perfect SUV for those customers who want not just a car but a great driving experience and style. We know that customers are looking for a car that reflects their lifestyle and ambitions. MG Astor has been designed with the same thought in mind - it is truly a 'blockbuster' SUV.
