It is available with 3 engine options: 1.2-litre NA petrol, 1.0-litre turbo petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The HTK+ variant is available with all three engine options making it a good option.

Cons	No diesel engine is available The turbo petrol engine doesn't offer a manual transmission Base variants have only 2 airbags, whereas many other SUVs in this category now provide 6 airbags Although the Astor is longer, wider, and broader than other SUVs, its wheelbase isn't optimal, resulting in limited legroom at the rear The Astor is most comfortable for 4 adults; accommodating 5 adults might be challenging ADAS is available in the top-spec Savvy Pro variant only with the 1.4-litre turbo engine	No automatic transmission with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine The lower models lack features. The company only reserves most of the good features for the higher variants. GTX+ & X-Line variants are the only ones that have ADAS. The turbo petrol engine does not offer a complete manual transmission. Instead, it comes with a clutchless manual transmission. This might not appeal to some customers. The dual-tone color option is not available until the HTX+ variant The 10.25-inch infotainment does not support Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The top-of-the-line X-line trim comes with a high price tag specially with diesel engine The 1.2-litre petrol engine is available in three variants only
