MG Motors has announced the on‑road price of its latest compact SUV, the Astor, in Manipal, fixing the cost at ₹12.76 lakh for the 2026 model year.
The decision follows the brand’s strategy to broaden its footprint in Karnataka, offering the Astor with a 1.5‑litre petrol engine, seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission, and a host of safety features that align it with competitors such as Maruti Suzuki‑Baleno and Hyundai‑Eon.
The pricing is expected to attract cost‑conscious buyers looking for a premium‑grade yet affordable vehicle, potentially reshaping the market dynamics in Udupi district and surrounding areas. Source: Google News – Manipal.
