What’s new?

Until now, Sharp was the top-spec variant for the all-new Astor. However, it is time for the Savvy trim to finally sit above that with several additional features. The extra money brings you the ADAS Level-2 that includes several helpful features including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind-spot detection and lane keep assist among others.

For occupants safety, it is also available with six airbags, traction control, ABS with EBD and hill start/descent control.

Under the hood, MG Astor Savvy will be available with a 110HP, 1.5-litre engine and a CVT gearbox. There is even a powerful 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine that churns out a massive 140HP and 220Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties for this setup are managed by a sole 6-speed torque converter.

For your information, ADAS was earlier available with the Sharp trim as an optional accessory. With the introduction of this new variant, customers will get the Level-2 ADAS available as standard.
