MG Astor Sets a New Benchmark in Mid-Size SUVs – 10-Inch Touchscreen and Panoramic Sunroof Under Rs 12.5 Lakh

MG Astor 2025 has not stopped shaking up the mid-size SUV market. It comes packing premium tech and style into a sub-₹12.5 lakh package. The car also introduces a 10-inch touchscreen with i-Smart 2.0 connectivity and Level-2 ADAS, features that were once reserved for costlier rivals.

The Shine variant breaks new ground as the only SUV under 12.5 lakh with a panoramic sunroof car India buyers can get today. This article shows why this MG Astor 2025 is being hailed as the best mid-size SUV India has seen.

What makes MG Astor 2025 a benchmark mid-size SUV?

MG Astor 2025 has proven it’s a value-for-money gem. On the outset is a celestial-inspired grille and sleek LED headlamps. The cabin is spacious and sophisticated thanks to dual-tone upholstery and premium trims. Three steering modes—Urban, Normal and Dynamic—too.

Thrown in six airbags (on higher variants), hill hold, and descent control, and it’s easy to see why this SUV under 12.5 lakh feels like a steal.

How affordable is the MG Astor 2025 under Rs 12.5 lakh?

The Astor Shine petrol-manual model starts at just Rs 12.47 lakh, ex-showroom. At that price you get a 10-inch infotainment display, panoramic sunroof, six-speaker audio, and push-button start, not to forget wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

What MG Astor features justify its hype?

You get two proven petrol engines:

• 1.5-litre naturally aspirated unit with manual CVT gearbox
• 1.3-litre turbo-petrol with six-speed automatic

The star is the updated i-Smart 2.0 system offering over 80 connected-car features, Jio voice recognition, and personal AI assistant.

Safety stays top with 14 ADAS functions—lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision prevention—and up to six airbags. Combine that with auto-dimming IRVM, ventilated seats, and wireless charger, and you have features that few SUVs under 12.5 lakh can match.
