MG Astor: Rivals
The MG Astor continues to compete in the highly contested compact SUV segment, where it goes head-to-head with rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun.
MG Astor: Features
Even with the price revision, MG has not touched the Astor's trim levels or list of equipment. The SUV continues to offer a rich set of features, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with analogue dials and a 7-inch digital driver's display. The cabin is equipped with ventilated front seats, with the driver's seat offering six-way power adjustment.
The Astor also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and includes convenience features such as a wireless phone charger, a digital key, a panoramic sunroof, auto air-conditioning with rear AC vents, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror (IRVM), and an air purifier. The 6-speaker audio system completes the in-vehicle entertainment experience.
When it comes to safety, the Astor is still among the best-serviced in its class. It offers up to six airbags, along with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD). Electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, and both hill-hold and hill-descent control continue to be part of the standard safety suite.
Other notable safety features include a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), all-four-wheel disc brakes, rain-sensing wipers, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and an electronic parking brake with auto hold. Additionally, the Astor continues to offer an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), making it a strong contender for buyers prioritising safety and technology.

MG Astor: Specs
Earlier this year, MG phased out the turbo-petrol variant of the Astor as part of its MY2025 update. The SUV is now offered exclusively with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. This engine produces 108 bhp maximum power and 144 Nm of torque. It is available with a 5-speed manual or an 8-step CVT (continuously variable transmission), depending on the model variant. Although this shift makes the powertrain offerings simpler, it also restricts performance-oriented variations for enthusiasts who may have wanted the discontinued turbo version.

MG Cyberster vs Tesla Model Y: Design, specifications and features compared
In a growing electric vehicle (EV) market like India, the arrival of two high-profile EVs, the MG Cyberster and the Tesla Model Y, has marked a significant milestone. But while both come with strong global reputations and eye-catching features, their Indian debuts highlight just how different their target audiences and priorities are. Here's a comparison of the two similarly priced EVs: MG Cyberster vs Tesla Model Y: Positioning The MG Cyberster, priced between ₹72.49 lakh and ₹74.99 lakh (ex-showroom), is India's first electric convertible roadster, aimed squarely at enthusiasts and luxury EV buyers. It's being offered through the premium MG Select dealerships and caters to a niche audience that values performance, exclusivity, and design drama. In contrast, Tesla's Model Y, launched at ₹59.89 lakh for the RWD and ₹67.89 lakh for the Long Range version (ex-showroom, Mumbai), is focused on practicality and mass-market appeal in the luxury EV space. It brings Tesla's proven tech DNA and global popularity to Indian buyers looking for a more family-oriented electric SUV. MG Cyberster vs Tesla Model Y: Performance Under the hood, the Cyberster boasts dual motors delivering 503 bhp and 725 Nm, making it MG's most powerful production car. The 0-100 kmph sprint takes just 3.2 seconds, courtesy of a 77 kWh battery. There's also a global RWD version with a 64 kWh battery offering 519 km of range. Meanwhile, the Model Y focuses on range and charging speed. The RWD version produces about 295 hp and gets either a 60 kWh (up to 500 km range) or a 75 kWh battery (up to 622 km). The Model Y's 0-100 kmph time is a respectable 5.9 seconds, but Tesla's edge lies in its Supercharger network and fast charging, enabling 238–267 km of range in just 15 minutes. MG Cyberster vs Tesla Model Y: Design The Cyberster is a design-forward machine. With scissor doors, a low-slung convertible body, and 20-inch alloys, it turns heads wherever it goes. MG offers four dual-tone colour schemes, adding to the car's dramatic flair. Aerodynamics are taken seriously, too, with a drag coefficient of just 0.269 Cd. The Model Y takes a minimalist route with flush handles, slim lights, and a glass roof. It may not scream performance, but it's shaped for range and everyday usability, borrowing cues from the Model 3 but offering a more SUV-like presence. MG Cyberster vs Tesla Model Y: Interior and features Inside, the Cyberster leans heavily into the sports car vibe with vegan leather-suede upholstery, launch control, and paddle shifters for regen braking. It comes with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, two 7-inch digital displays, dual-zone climate control, and a Bose audio system. Tesla's Model Y, on the other hand, embraces its trademark minimalist cabin. A 15.4-inch central screen, an 8-inch rear display, and software-first features define the experience. It includes dual-zone climate control, a panoramic glass roof, and regular OTA updates, though full self-driving capabilities (costing ₹6 lakh extra) are not yet fully functional in India. MG Cyberster vs Tesla Model Y: Safety and warranty The Cyberster features Level 2 ADAS, Brembo brakes, a side stability factor of 1.83, and a body designed for rollover protection. MG offers a lifetime battery warranty for the first owner, a major incentive for early adopters. Tesla offers its suite of safety tech, including Autopilot, active safety systems, and over-the-air upgrades. However, the current features still require driver supervision. Standard warranty terms apply, with optional service plans available. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date:
