I love the design of Astor, very different from other cars in the market!

Looks and road presence is really good. 👍

I heard that it struggles to go up the ramp like in malls etc and lazy on hills

[@abhinavbhatnagar9171]

I haven't taken it to Hills yet so can't comment on that. However, I have taken it to malls' parking and steep ramps and I haven't faced any issues yet. I can say it can easily cope with the hilly roads as well. Although, someone who has already driven it on steep hills will be a much better person to comment on that. :)

Give night drive review to check throw of lights

Sure in my next Astor video I will try to cover all the driving scenarios whichever I can! 🙂

How about the mileage on practical

[@abhinavbhatnagar9171]

So as shared in the video…if you are driving in normal traffic, its 7-8 kmpl, in bumper to bumper condition it can touch to even 6 kmpl. If you are driving on almost empty roads and revving under 2.0 revs it can touch even 12kmpl. On highways I have touched 17kmpl.

You haven't spoken anything about its overall performance, like its power, suspension, steering feedback, driving comfort etc.

[@abhinavbhatnagar9171]

Hey! Yes I did realise that. Thanks for pointing out. I am thinking of posting another video purely based on the driving experience of the car. Is there anything you would like to know here in our conversation? 🙂

@@abhinavbhatnagar9171 Would like to know if the Astor 1.5 MT is underpowered, especially while overtaking on the highways & on the hills.

[@abhinavbhatnagar9171]

@@up6427 I can tell you about the Automatic which I am using and I have never felt it to be underpowered. If you are comparing it with the competition then yes other engines have the tendency to throw you back to your seat but then those are mostly turbos. I cannot comment on turbo as I haven’t driven that but on paper it has similar power as to its rivals.
Talking about the MT, I did drive it on my test drive and it felt fine to me. Overtaking has not been an issue for me but then yes 99% of my drives are in city conditions, very rarely I travel on expressways and even there the experience has been good.
If only power is your concern then either go for turbo Astor or VW Taigun and Skoda Kushaq are an awesome option.

@@abhinavbhatnagar9171 Thank you very much. Your prompt reply is highly appreciated.
Iam going in for Astor 1.5 MT variant, as Iam worried about the power lag on the CVT variant, especially while overtaking on highways & because of lesser fuel efficiency.

[@abhinavbhatnagar9171]

@@up6427 I would say that is a great choice. Manuals are always better as they do not have lags or slow gear shifts like Automatics and the fuel efficiency is slightly better for the MTs.
