    What's the story

    British automaker MG Motor has unveiled its Astor SUV in India. It should go on sale later this year.

    As for highlights, the four-wheeler looks sporty and offers segment-first Autonomous Level 2 technology and an AI-powered personal assistant voiced by Paralympic Khel Ratna Awardee, Dr. Deepa Malik. Under the hood, it is available with a choice of two petrol engines.

    Here are more details.

    A detailed look at the AI assistant

    The AI assistant has been developed by a company called Star Design and it sits at the heart of Car-as-a-Platform (CAAP)—MG Motor's in-house software for cars. MG claims that the AI shows "human-like emotions" and also provides detailed information on various topics using Wikipedia.

    Exteriors

    The car has mid-range radars and 17-inch wheels

    The MG Astor has a head-turning look, featuring a hexagonal "Celestial" grille with a 3D effect, a sculpted bonnet, mid-range radars, a multi-purpose camera, a blacked-out air vent, and swept-back LED headlamps.

    On the sides, the car is flanked by roof rails, black B-pillars, and 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

    As for the dimensions, it has a length of 4,323mm and a height of 1,650mm.

    Information

    It is available with a choice of two engines

    MG Astor is available with a 1.5-liter petrol engine that makes 108.4hp/144Nm and a 1.3-liter turbo-petrol mill that churns out 138hp/220Nm. Transmission duties on the SUV are taken care of by a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or an 8-speed CVT gearbox.

    Interiors

    It gets a panoramic sunroof and an 8.0-inch infotainment system

    Inside, the MG Astor has a dual-tone dashboard, a panoramic sunroof, rear AC vents, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.

    It houses a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and i-SMART connected car technology.

    For safety, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, Rear Drive Assist (RDA), and automatic emergency braking are offered.
