- The exterior paint quality is superb. The orange colour looks great in real-world conditions.
- This applies to the red interior theme too. The red shade looks better in person compared to the photos.
- The gaps at various places on the body panels are consistent which signifies good build quality and attention to detail.
- The interior material quality is something that the MG Astor has just nailed. Entering the cabin reminds one of the cars a segment above. There are soft-touch materials at various parts and the feel and quality of the switches and buttons are top-notch too.
- On the flip side, the under-thigh support for front and rear seats is not great. Also, the rear seats are not wide enough or comfortable enough to fit three adults.
- The audio system is not the best when compared to the Seltos, Harrier of Hector.
- The AI Virtual Assistant may be more of a gimmick with no dedicated use.

The VW Taigun has also been launched. The guy who went to see the Astor also shared his experience with the Taigun.
- The Infotainment System is great and the Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work seamlessly.
- The build quality feels solid with heavy doors and a boot gate.
- The exterior paint quality also feels premium and gives a long-lasting feel.
- The driving dynamics are expected to be exquisite although the Astor has not yet been test-driven.
- The rear seats are more spacious.
- The materials used inside the cabin are hard plastic and feel below the standard across the segment.
- The premium price point is not justified by the lack of features compared to the Korean rivals.
