MG Astor review: what owners and experts say

Fit & finish

Strongly positivebased on 8 reviews

“Every time you close this car's door or its tailgate, you feel that there's something substantial/solid about it — you feel like you're sitting in a strongly built car.”

Braking

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“Our car has four disc brakes, and all four work really well — a couple of times I've had to brake hard in a situation, and it never failed, overall the braking is good.”

Service staff competence

Generally positivebased on 6 reviews

“The quality of service is considered noticeably better within MG's own lineup compared to other brands — that was the main thing other MG owners told me when I asked them.”

ADAS driver assistance

Generally positivebased on 14 reviews

“Why is that mirror blinking? — that's the blind spot detection system, it's trying to tell you about that biker back there that's been trying to pass you from all different directions for the last 10 minutes.”

Rear seat space

Generally positivebased on 9 reviews

“The rear seat has adequate room for even taller adults; what's nice is that the floor hump is short.”

Parking camera & sensors

Generally negativebased on 5 reviews

“While the [cross traffic alert] feature is really handy, the 360-degree camera display quality however leaves a lot to be desired.”

Handling

Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews

“There's a reasonable amount of grip, but push the Astor hard and it's the tires that will protest first and foremost, and the overall feeling is that this is not a very enthusiastic or a sporty SUV.”

Connected car features

Mixed reviewsbased on 11 reviews

“The AI assistant on the dash top that's on call to act on commands for the sunroof and the like, as well as give you trivia from Wikipedia or even tell jokes, is a cute if slightly gimmicky feature.”

Ride comfort

Mixed reviewsbased on 12 reviews

“If you drive this car at very high speed like 150-160, that softer-side suspension can create a bit of an issue there — though no one really drives at that speed every day given India's highway conditions and speed limits.”

Boot space

Mixed reviewsbased on 5 reviews

“On airport runs and trips out of town, which one will take the most luggage? The MG is on the back foot here, with the least space on offer.”
