On 1 July 2026, the MG Astor, a compact SUV from MG Motor India, was listed with an on‑road price of ₹12.76 lakh in the city of Manipal. The figure includes all taxes, registration, and mandatory insurance, matching the standard pricing strategy for MG’s new models.
First unveiled in 2021, the Astor offers a 1.5‑litre petrol engine, 7‑speed dual‑clutch transmission, and a range of connectivity and safety features such as a 10‑inch infotainment screen, automatic climate control and advanced driver‑assistance systems. The price places it competitively in the sub‑₹15 lakh segment where it faces rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Tiago, and Mahindra KUV100.
For buyers in the Udupi district and nearby Manipal, the price signals a viable entry point into MG’s expanding portfolio of affordable premium cars. It could spur increased test‑drive interest and influence resale values in the region. Source: Google News – Manipal.
