So nice of you. Glad you liked it, do share it among your friends to spread the content!

Thanks for watching. And I must say you are a rare breed, who is willing to accept that Astor has a few shortcomings, even though it is a fantastic car. Unfortunately, most people are too much of fanboys nowadays, of one brand or another. Cheers!

@@TravellingEngineers creta is perfect?

@@KattarRSSHindu Watch my channel and you will see enough problems with Creta to not ask that question again.

U don't have minimum knowledge

Glad you liked it and appreciate the feedback.

Yeah, I know. I guess the designers were only looking for novelty factor rather than the actual utility of the feature.

Glad you liked it.

Thank you!

Thanks, glad you liked it.

That is poor mileage, I have to say. Did you check this with MG folks?

@@TravellingEngineers I did and a couple of Mileage tests were done too, but then the mileage turns out to be fine around 12 to 13kmpl with 50:50 i.e. highway and light city traffic (which is their standard protocol they say) but the problem arises when driven entirely in the city and traffic being moderate to heavy.

I agree with you on the finish aspect of interiors but not really in terms of space or utility features. Rear seat of Astor is seriously poorly designed, seems like the designers got bored after designing the front of the cabin and left the rear with just the seats. And this video is not a full review, its just to mention the issues of Astor. I have covered features of Astor in a separate video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqd0ZNydyNXMk5s.html

@@TravellingEngineers You should changes the Channel name Frustrated Engineers instead of travelling Engineers 😂🤣

Thanks, glad you liked it

Exactly what I said at the start of the video. This is to make sure people know its issues and make an educated call. It is for a buyer to decide whether these things are relevant to them or not.

Yes overall I felt this car is very good, only one issue is the engine does not give good punch with 110 hp and 144nm torque....

Thank you so much 🙂

Uska kya review karega...kaya kaya nehi hain bolte bolte thak jayega..3-4 features hi to de pata hain mahindra..

Exactly

This mileage is city mileage or highway mileage?

@@TravellingEngineers city milage without AC. Highway milage: 15 without AC and 11.5 with AC City milage: 11 With AC

@@karanmdn That's a massive difference in highway mileage because of AC. Thanks for sharing.

If you want an SUV, but not Creta/ Seltos, only thing remaining are Kushaq/ Taigun. Both have good build quality but don't expect too many features like Creta. If you are willing to look beyond SUVs, I would suggest Honda City top second top model is a great option. Again, you will miss some gadgetry of Creta but overall a great car.

Glad you liked the video. Cheers!

Hey did you book style or super? And what is discounts you got finally?

Same bro wtf he is talking behind it’s very spacious

Creta offers lot more features while Kushaq gives German engineering confidence. Both are good choices, depending on what you are looking for.

Creta is definitely no…. Kushaq or astor

Kushaq has no comparison with creta ... its too good😊

Is segment ki har gaadi ke top ya second top me wireless chargers, paddle shifters etc milte hain. Space wise Creta, Seltos, Kushaq better hain. Haan, features ache hain Astor me lekin perfect gaadi se to bahut dur hai abhi. Isliye iski sales bhi koi khas nahi hui abhi tak

@@TravellingEngineers Kushaq Se Accha hai Space

@@nitinrautela6741 No way it has more space than Kushaq. especially, In the rear seat, Kushaq is way more spacious than Astor.

Taigun eyes closed my recommendation

Yes, nothing beats Astor in base models. But base model bookings are stopped as far as I know. Maybe it was just for marketing

@@TravellingEngineers i recently booked through dealer, you can book through dealers, but waiting period is close to a year and slot is getting filled at dealers only that online it's not opening 😅

@@prajwalmj810 Even dealers have stopped taking bookings for base models now. They want to close the existing ones, by that time mostly the price will be increased so they will start with new prices.

@@prajwalmj810 in kerala waiting time for mg astor base model is less than 3 months……booked mine last week

@@elvis9241 Which showroom you have booked in Kerala?

Out of these four features, three are quite important for vehicle safety - traction control, electronic stability control and hill assist. If the price difference is just 20k, my suggestion will be to refuse this offer. In this age, traction control and ESC are quite standard and important things.

MG doesn't offer any such thing. You can try it in the market outside

I don't understand people like you. I have mentioned multiple times that Astor is a good car and this is not a full review, this is just a list of problems reported in the car. Yet, people like you will treat this as a full review and ask for XYZ feature not being mentioned. If you want features video or comparisons with other cars, check other videos I have done on the channel.

Depends on what you are looking for. Go for Astor if you need more power and space, go for Brezza if you need Maruti's mileage, trust and support network.

MG is not really known for its engines, so I am not very hopeful. You can wait for a facelift or you can try other options. If you just need new interiors, the new Seltos is quite qood. Otherwise Creta and Kushaq are proven workhorses in this segment.

Yeah, for city engine shouldn't be an issue. Just check the city mileage once though, with the infamous Bangalore traffic, this might be a genuine thing to watch out for.

Average issue

haanji, jaldi hi karunga

@@TravellingEngineers maine last April Skoda Rapid लिया है, अब मेरी sis, को Kushaq या tigun लेनी है, but Astor confusion creat कर रही है

Agreed. Maybe MG will fix it soon.

Seltos has 360 cam in top 2 modela, here not even in top model. And, lot of these things are not even available as accessories, back lights, wireless connectivity, sunroof tint etc. My job to talk about missing things, even if they can be retrofitted, it will be extra charge to the buyers.

@@TravellingEngineers Seltos has 360 cam on 21Lakh car. Astor has 360 cam on 18Lakh car. (Sharp & Savvy) Wireless connectivity andpassenger lights are readily available everywhere. Sunroof tint, yeh that's missing! Also seltos has an abysmal 2star rating

This is not a comparison video with Seltos, I just quoted that example. This video is to show all the things Astor has missed so that a prospective buyer can take an educated call.

One of the main reason why people are willing to pay above 15 lakhs for a car is it’s drive quality. Astor is after all a Chinese car. Just like any Chinese phone it has plenty of features but none of those are of high quality. It has only mid range, the engine performance is quite poor, and too much body roll. For example, if you want to buy a pricey phone, would you buy an mi phone for 65k or iPhone 13 mini? If you want features you can buy a cheap car with loaded features not the one around 20 lakhs. Please go for European cars, their drive quality is unmatched, they have high resale values and quality where it’s required and not on some gimmicky features. Taigun and Kushaq are same cars except for styling and some interior features. You go can go for either of them and they give amazing drive quality.

@@anandkurupath6229 Typical Indian mentality. China = bad, right? WRONG. Talking about Phone, a power user will always go for Mi11 Ultra for 69K over iPhone 13 mini. Only simple users or people who just wana show around buys a Mini. (iPhone mini is absolute trash at the best) I have done 3 TD of Astor and its drive quality is 10x better than that of seltos. Seltos has stiff suspension and long rides in Seltos over bad roads would make you tired a lot more faster than a ride on Astor. The body roll is negligible. We are talking about Astor, not Hector. I tried taking a curve at ~80kmph and i didn't feel any body roll thats dangerous. Seltos and Creta, have you seen the internal diagrams of those cars? Seltos has ABSOLUTELY NO Extra High Density Steel. It has some minor amount of High Density Steel, majority of the car is built with basic steel. Creta has a bit more Extra High Density Steel than Seltos but only for driver side underpinning. Majority is still basic steel. If you think Koreans give a crap about Indians, take a look at the internal diagrams of Seltos and Creta sold outside Indian n that of Indian made. About Europeans, we got Skoda and VW at 20L, Tiguan and Kushaq. Both has subar built quality and their DSG gear boxes are just upgraded versions of DQ200 which is notorious for complete failure in less than 50000Km. (Replacing DSG mechatronix costs 75K + Labour charges). Outside India, in several countries VW and Skoda gives 25yr/unlimited warranty for these gearboxes. In India, you get 1Lakh or 5yr warranty. Now...what do you think? China bad but Korean/European good? Please spare the china bad notion. China as a country is epitome of Human rights violation. But not every product that has chinese roots are bad.

In the outside market anything is possible but do check with MG if that has any effect on the warranty. As far as I know, MG is not offering any tint option

@@TravellingEngineers that mesh net sunroof cover is dissatisfying

@@hbinitials7 yes, I agree.

Sorry and a bit surprised to hear this feedback. I knew the engine was not particularly powerful but struggling to climb at low gears is not something I expected. Thanks for sharing.

Vitara Brezza, Urban Cruiser, Nexon. ya to Creta/ Seltos/ Taigun base models

Bhai, video me dekh lo kitni sunlight andar aa rahi hai, baki kisi gaadi me aisi sunroof cover nahi dekhi maine. Delhi me June/ July me roast ho jaoge. Test drive lene ke baad hi bol rha hu, wo jo video me driver seat pe hai, wo me hi hu :-)

This is top model. Savvy.

Some of them are problems - engine performance, lack of space in the rear, ergonomic issues with button placements, OS issues, poor speakers etc. Others are missing features.

Damn...you think speakers are poor😂😂😂...whata joke...apart from cvt evry engine has excellent performance at par with creta and kia...for obvious reasons ( curb weight 😂😂) . You never talked about safety brother....that's wrong inda needs to go for safety and build quality. Anyways #boycotthundai is already trending. Wishes to your channel...the words you used are not good. A sensible reviewer will never go for word poor...coz everything is relative...could be better ia a word to go.

Yes, maybe because the launch price was just for marketing and they would launch new updated model with new prices.

Yes, the look is like a crossover, not like an SUV.

Absolutely correct!

But base model kharid ke dikhao to maane. They are not even taking new bookings for it now, it was just a marketing gimmick to beat Creta/ Seltos on paper.

Go to my channel and see the other videos where I have shown features which only Astor is offering. This video is actually about the negatives of this car.

This video was not intended as comparison, this video is just about Astor.

@@TravellingEngineers yes, off course..but with that note too, astor provides best proposition in this segment.

Creta SX IVT

16 L me best gaadi hai Honda City top model. Agar sedan nahi leni hai to Creta, Seltos, Kushaq, in sab ke middle models hi aayenge 16L me
