## MG Astor's Sales and Powertrain Limits

MG Astor was launched in India in 2021 as an early entrant in the 4.2m to 4.5m SUV segment, competing primarily with Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun. It was positioned as a well-equipped SUV with segment-first features including Level-2 ADAS and a built-in AI personal assistant.

Sales for January-September 2026 rose 38.53% from 1,238 units a year earlier, with July-September contributing 1,240 units. September volumes stood at 284 units, above the 90 units recorded a year earlier but below August's 720 units. Hyundai Creta recorded 1,43,424 units over the same nine months, Kia Seltos 99,655 units, Honda Elevate 13,996 units, Skoda Kushaq 9,945 units and Volkswagen Taigun 9,559 units.

The Astor offered a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine producing 110 hp and a 1.3-litre direct injection turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine producing 140 hp. In February 2025 the turbo option was removed, leaving a single engine with a 5-speed manual or CVT. Newer SUVs in the segment offer petrol, diesel, CNG, hybrid and fully electric powertrains.

## MG's SIGMA Platform Replacement Plan

MG is working on an Astor replacement that could be based on the modular SIGMA (SAIC Intelligent Global Modular Architecture) platform, which supports ICE, pure electric and hybrid powertrains. Models such as the MG One SUV sold overseas already use this platform, and MG showcased an updated ZS HEV at the 2025 Auto Expo. The launch of the replacement SUV is expected in 2027.

## MG's Recent Product Launches

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), MG unveiled the MG GO! Concept in July 2026 to preview a future design direction and potential next-generation models. In January 2026 the company launched the MG4 EV Urban as an entry-level electric vehicle priced from £23,495, and in November 2025 it launched the MGS6 EV premium electric SUV at £37,995.

## Earlier Moves Across MG's Markets

In October 2026, MG Pakistan began launching Hybrid+ and Super Hybrid powertrains in the All-New MG HS and ZS SUVs, with Super Hybrid providing a 135 km NEDC electric range, Pakobserver reported. Auto Express reported the same month that MG's premium IM sub-brand will launch a third model in the UK in 2027, following the IM5 and IM6. In October 2026, Eleconomista reported that MG is offering discounts of up to 9,000 euros on the HS Hybrid+ in Spain, with prices starting at 24,480 euros for the Comfort trim and 30,340 euros for the Luxury trim.
