MG Motor India has been updating prices across its lineup. The company recently revised prices on the Hector and Hector Plus by up to ₹30,000. Meanwhile, the MG Comet EV, which is the brand’s most accessible offering also witnessed a price revision. There are no mechanical updates with the price hike and the SUV continues to be available with the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engines. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual and a CVT torque converter.

The MG Astor has been a strong seller for the company, especially against rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota UC Hyryder, Honda Elevate, VW Taigun and Skoda Kudhaq. The crowded compact SUV segment has several players and the Astor manages to stand out with its premium cabin, comfortable ride and an extensive set of features.
That said, MG is gearing up to bring a comprehensive upgrade to the Astor. The facelifted model was spotted undisguised recently revealing a styling overhaul over the outgoing model. The design updates will give the Astor a new look, while the cabin will also get new features and revised upholstery, among other upgrades. MG is unlikely to change the powertrain options with the facelifted model.
