    The Astor sees stiff competition from the Hyundai Creta (facelift launching next week), Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Citroen C5 AircrossSkoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun. With this, MG aims to increase the slow-selling Astor's appeal, with more customer-centric features right from the base variant.
