MG is set to enter the C-SUV segment with its Astor. Although the Astor is based on the ZS EV, the car will get a redesigned front with slimmer full-LED headlamps, a new hexagonal grille and new bumpers. The rear will also get sharper LED tail lamps and a prominent faux skid plate. The car will also get a newly designed set of alloys. A floating touchscreen infotainment system with a Jio e-SIM for in-car connectivity features and a panoramic sunroof to be included in the feature list.

Additionally, there might be a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol unit that will produce 163bhp and 230Nm of torque. The Astor will launch in September.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG
Maruti is expected to bring in a CNG variant of the Vitara Brezza in the coming time. This will make the Brezza the first sub-four-metre SUV in the country to be made available with a CNG option. As far as the exterior is concerned, we are not expecting any major cosmetic changes, however, the car might get a CNG badging at the rear or on the sides. Inside the Brezza, the infotainment system will be made available just like the petrol-powered Brezza. The interior of the CNG variant is likely to be the same as the in-market model.
The Vitara Brezza CNG will be powered by the 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine that produces 103bhp and 138 Nm of torque. When including a CNG kit, the power output is expected to drop, however, the overall value is bound to increase, looking at the current petrol prices.
