Shine Price and Specs, MG Astor

Step up to the Shine and the MG Astor starts to feel properly equipped. Priced at ₹11.34 lakh, it keeps the 1.5 litre petrol, a manual gearbox, front wheel drive and five seats. The claimed mileage holds at 15.43 kmpl, the same as the other manual trims.

The additions over the Sprint are the ones buyers notice most: R17 silver alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof and cruise control. The 25.7 cm (10.1 inch) HD touchscreen carries over unchanged from the Sprint. Safety still rests on 2 airbags, so you do not yet get the 6 airbag setup, a camera or ventilated seats.

The Shine works for buyers who value the sunroof and alloy wheels without stretching to the top trims. For a mid-budget choice, that mix of comfort kit and everyday features reads as fair value for the money. If six airbags matter to you, and they should, the Select MT costs about a lakh more and adds them.
