All this to answer the question, whether the MG Astor is still worth buying in 2023. I hope you like the review and find it informative!

    The MG Astor is the most underrated car in its segment, it’s quite VFM and safe as well.

    Hey great video I love the quality you are trying to achieve from the very start. Just one nitpicking though, If we can reduce the background music a little but during voiceover that would be a great addition

      Feedback noted. This review was made at the start of my UA-cam journey. Do check out some of my newer videos if you have the time, as I think you'll find the quality of editing has improved! 😅

      The official ARAI mileage is claimed to be around 14.5 to 15 kpl. But real-world figure is closer to 10.5 to 11kpl.

    Unless MG offers better refined, responsive & efficient it's not worth buying their Astor.
    Other than Engine they have tried hard to offer their best. No Complains about it.
    In Short, it offers Built Quality of MG Motors & Engine of SIAC, Sub Standard or Compromised Chinese Quality.
    If the heart of Car/Engine is not good it's not worth investing. As simple as that. Whatever else is offered does not make any Sense at all. You can't live or survive on defective Heart.

      Not really, the engine as well is good idk about the NA but the turbo one is great no issues

      @@asap8368 At low speed or under 2000 rpm the engine is sluggish, once the Turbo Kicks it's OK but its a fuel gusller और offers poor Fuel efficiency.
      So it's a Heart or Engine problem - you compromise on both lag at low speed & fuel efficiency at high speed.
      ASTOR - is Not worth buying unless if the offer better refined, responsive & efficient engine.

      The build quality on the Astor isn't sub-standard according to me, it feels at par with its rivals. Though, the turbo-petrol engine feels like it is a tiny step behind its rivals, but that is more due to just how nice the Hyundai and VW Group turbo-petrols are.
