MG Astor Buyers Get Freebies Worth Rs 10,000 - Check Eligibility Here

While the MG Astor sales figure stood at just 980 units in September 2022, which is way less than many of its competitors. However, despite the relatively low sales figures, many customers are yet to get deliveries of the MG Astor as the production of the SUV is severely hampered by the chip shortage.

Now, under the Worth Waiting For 3.0 scheme, MG Astor CVT and MG Astor AT customers who booked the SUV before May 31 will get additional benefits above the existing Worth Waiting For 2.0 scheme.

Under the new Worth Waiting For 3.0 scheme, both the MG Astor CVT and MG Astor AT customers will get benefits in the form of 3 different options. The first option is called 'Chrome Kit' and this option comes with a chrome tailgate, chrome tail lamps, chrome OEVMs, chrome door handles, and a lower front chrome surround.

The next option is the 'Protection kit' which includes parts such as bumper corner protection, door protector, rear bull bar, and designer mats, whereas the final option gives freedom to the customer to choose any item from AMC/extended warranty/merchandise/accessory, worth up to Rs 10,000.

Earlier, MG Motor had introduced new variants of the Astor SUV with an 'EX' suffix to the existing variant lineup. These new variants include Style EX, Super EX, Smart EX, and Sharp EX.

Diving deep into details of these new variants, MG Motor has cut features such as electronic stability control (ESC), traction control (TC), blind spot detection, hill hold/descent control, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keep assistance on the newly introduced 'EX' variants to overcome the chip shortage and reduce the overall price tag.

Speaking about the MG Astor, the C-segment SUV is equipped with ADAS, which in turn comes with active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, collision warning, driver alert, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and a few more.

Moreover, the standard variants of the MG Astor SUV come with safety features such as 6 airbags, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), disc brakes at all four corners, electronic stability control (ESC), ABS, Hill Hold Control (HHC), Hill Descent Control (HDC), parking sensors, speed-sensing door locks, security alarm, ISOFIX child seats, impact sensing auto door unlock, engine immobilizer, and many more.

Other noticeable features on the MG Astor SUV include features such as a large 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, a 360-degree surround-view camera, 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat, an electronic parking brake, AI personal assistant, a panoramic sunroof, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, 3 steering modes, tilt-adjustable steering, Blind Spot Monitor, rear AC vents, Air Purifier with PM 2.5 filter and many more.

In India, the MG Astor SUV comes with a choice of two engines. The base 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine puts out 108.5bhp of peak power, whereas the more powerful turbocharged 1.3-litre petrol engine pushes out 138bhp of peak power.

Thoughts About MG Astor SUV

The recent semiconductor shortage has hampered the production of the MG Astor SUV and with the increased waiting period for the model, it seems pretty decent for MG Motor to compensate their customers with a few freebies for their patience in the brand.
