The MG Astor, a compact SUV gaining popularity in south Karnataka, has seen a price update for its Manipal on‑road launch in July 2026. The vehicle comes out at ₹12.76 lac, positioning it competitively against other mid‑segment SUVs in the market.
MG Motors has been expanding its presence in the region, offering a blend of Indian design and global engineering. The Astor, which debuted as a successor to the MG Turo, features a 1.5‑litre turbo‑charged engine and a host of safety and infotainment options, making it an attractive choice for city commuters and families alike.
This price points to a strategic push by MG to capture a larger share of the Manipal market, which now includes strong competitors such as the Hyundai Venue and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. For local buyers in Udupi District, the Astor’s affordable pricing combined with its track record for reliability may influence purchase decisions in the months ahead. Source: Google News – Manipal.
