The MG Astor is a strong contender in its segment, offering a bunch of features, a comfy cabin, and powerful petrol engines. It stands out as an excellent SUV under Rs 20 lakh. However, it doesn't come with a diesel engine, and the backseat space is a bit limited. Nevertheless, for four people, the Astor ensures a comfortable ride.
