If you’ve been eyeing the MG Astor, there’s something you should know—the prices just went up. Starting April 2025, MG Motor India rolled out a price revision across the entire Astor lineup.
The biggest bump? It hit the base ‘Sprint’ variant, which now costs ₹11.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Patna). Let’s break down what’s changed, what’s still good, and whether it’s still worth your money.

Pricing
The price hike for the Astor was far from uniform. The base ‘Sprint’ variant alone saw a major jump of ₹1.30 lakh. Other variants had moderate increases—about ₹38,000 in most cases—while some top-end trims were spared from the revision altogether. This feels like a move to adjust to rising input costs while keeping the top models attractive.
Here’s a quick look at the revised pricing:
| Variant | Old Price (Approx.) | New Price (April 2025) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprint | ₹10.00 lakh | ₹11.30 lakh | +₹1.30 lakh |
| Shine | ₹11.85 lakh | ₹12.23 lakh | +₹38,000 |
| Select | ₹13.20 lakh | ₹13.58 lakh | +₹38,000 |
| Savvy Pro (Top Variant) | ₹17.56 lakh | ₹17.56 lakh | No Change |
Engine
Under the hood, nothing’s changed—and that’s a good thing. The MG Astor comes with a 1498 cc, 4-cylinder petrol engine (VTi-TECH). It churns out 108.49 bhp at 6000 rpm and 144 Nm of torque at 4400 rpm.
This is paired with a 5-speed manual in the Sprint variant, delivering a solid balance between punch and mileage. If you like a responsive drive that doesn’t guzzle fuel, this setup still holds its ground.
Features
Despite being the entry-level model, the Sprint variant doesn’t skimp on features. You get power windows at the front and rear, adding convenience for all passengers. The car comes equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), which helps during emergency braking.
Air conditioning is also included, ensuring a comfortable cabin experience. While it may not offer premium infotainment or leather seats, it covers the essentials for safe and comfortable commuting.
Dimensions
The Astor has always been a fairly spacious and well-proportioned SUV, and that hasn’t changed. Its length is 4323 mm, width is 1809 mm, and height stands at 1650 mm.
The wheelbase measures 2585 mm, offering a stable and roomy ride. Boot space is a generous 488 liters, which means you won’t be struggling for luggage room. The fuel tank has a capacity of 48 liters.
The Sprint variant runs on steel rims with 215/60 R16 tyres and features disc brakes both at the front and rear, contributing to a confident braking performance.
Variants
MG Astor is offered in six main trims: Sprint, Shine, Select, Select Black Storm, Sharp Pro, and Savvy Pro. Whether you prefer a stick shift or a CVT automatic, there’s something for every taste and budget.
The lineup is clearly designed to cater to everyone—from value-focused buyers to those who want a more premium experience.
| Trim Level | Transmission Options |
|---|---|
| Sprint | Manual |
| Shine | Manual / CVT |
| Select | Manual / CVT |
| Sharp Pro | CVT |
| Savvy Pro | CVT |
With options like the all-black ‘Black Storm’ or the premium ‘Sangria’ editions, there’s definitely style flexibility too.
If you’re considering the MG Astor in 2025, the price hike might sting a little—especially for budget buyers. But in terms of what it offers, the Astor still brings a lot to the table: solid engineering, decent features even in the base trim, and multiple variants that fit a wide range of needs.
So, is it still worth it? If you’re okay with shelling out a little more, absolutely. The MG Astor still delivers good value, even if it costs a bit more than it did last year.
