MG Astor is coming soon to Nepal.

Paramount Motors, the authorized distributor of MG vehicles in Nepal, is planning to further expand its portfolio.

MG Astor will be an all-new SUV, packed with modern styling with many interesting features.

It will be interesting to see if there will be any difference between the Indian and the Nepali variant. Especially since the Indian variants bring in AI-enabled quirky features and smart connectivity applications.

As for the pricing, the MG Astor price in Nepal is yet to be disclosed.

Unfortunately, the important details like pricing and official launch date are still under discussion. Nevertheless, it is set to make its debut at the NADA Auto Show 2022.

Before that happens, let’s take a quick look at the upcoming MG Astor in Nepal and its key specifications.

MG Astor Overview

Design

MG Astor tries to impress with its striking and elegant contours.

It shares a resemblance with every other MG vehicle, especially with its signature MG elements and athletic details.

The front section sports Full LED Hawkeye Headlamps with LED DRLs. Moreover, the center Bold Celestial Grille demands attention with its eye-catching patterns.

Interestingly enough, the bonnet gets a sloped styling reminiscent of other MG siblings.

The side profile is relatively simple. However, there are few elements for an added premium feel.

It gets Turbine-Inspired Machined Alloys along with Chromed finish at the windows.

Finally, the rear section gets an attractive LED Tail Lamp with Chrome Accentuated Dual Exhaust Design.
