MG Astor Savvy Top-spec Variant Launched at Rs 15.78 Lakh, Gets ADAS Features in Addition
Just after a few days of officially launching the MG Astor in the Indian car market, MG has released the prices of the top-spec variant with an autonomous driving assistance system (ADAS). The new top-spec variant of the MG Astor is termed as ‘Savvy’, which gets autonomous level 2 ADAS features over the Sharp variant. The prices for MG Astor Savvy begin at Rs 15.78 lakh (ex-showroom, India), which makes it the most affordable car to get factory-fitted ADAS features.
Prices
The MG Astor Savvy sits above the Sharp variant and is offered in just two versions. While the one with the combination of a 1.5-litre petrol engine and the 5-speed manual gearbox is priced at Rs 15.78 lakh, the one with the 1.5-litre petrol engine and CVT gearbox will set you back by Rs 17.38 lakh. The petrol-manual combination of the Savvy variant is also available with an optional Sangria Red interior scheme at a premium of Rs 10,000, which gives it a price of Rs 15.88 lakh.
With the arrival of this new variant, the MG Astor now has a total of five variants on offer – Style, Super, Smart, Sharp and Savvy. The petrol-CVT combination is not provided in the Style variant. In addition, the more premium combination of turbo-petrol-AT is not offered with ADAS features, and it continues to be available in only Smart and Sharp variants.
The MG Astor Savvy is being offered in five different colour options, which are Spiced Orange, Aurora Silver, Glaze Red, Candy White and Starry Black.
