You Can Pre-book The MG Astor On October 21

• First batch of deliveries in November and December.

• The Astor will be sold in four trims: Style, Super, Smart, and Sharp. 

• There’s another trim, Savvy, which is essentially Sharp + ADAS.

The MG Astor’s pre-bookings will begin on October 21, only nine days from the date of writing. You can pre-book the compact SUV online or at your nearest MG dealership. The Astor’s introductory prices range from Rs 9.78 lakh to Rs 16.78 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India).

During the launch event, the carmaker also confirmed that the first batch of deliveries is scheduled in November and December. There will only be 5,000 units in the first lot, the low number possibly due to the global semiconductor shortage. 

The MG Astor comes in four trims: Style, Super, Smart, and Sharp. Add the optional advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to the top-spec Sharp, and it becomes a new ‘Savvy’ trim.
