MG Motor India has unveiled MG Astor, India’s first SUV with personal AI assistant and first-in-segment Autonomous (Level 2) technology. Astor is based on the MG’s successful global platform, ZS.
Astor’s contemporary style will connect with consumers. It has a prominent Bold Celestial Grille that makes a solid on-road impression. Astor’s nine crystal diamond elements in the LED headlamps make for a distinct hawk-eye expression with precise details. The interiors are elegantly crafted with soft-touch and premium material. It will be coming in two engine options – the Brit Dynamic 220TURBO petrol engine and VTi Tech petrol engine. The much-awaited mid-size MG Astor will be on display at MG showrooms from 19 September and bookings will start soon thereafter.
MG Astor’s personal AI assistant depicts human-like emotions and voice. The Paralympic athlete Deepa Malik has lent her voice to the personal AI assistant, thereby humanising the experience.
