The new Astor gets a similar design as the MG ZS EV models; however its front fascia features a bold celestial grille and full LED hawkeye headlamps, and on the rear, the SUV gets LED taillamps and chrome accentuated bumper with dual exhaust. The SUV will come with turbine-inspired machined alloy wheels and roof rails with satin silver finish. Furthermore, the car might be offered in three different colours: Starry Black, Spiced Orange, and Glaze Red.
