Same money, which car?
Take ₹14.52L to both showrooms and you come out with the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater at ₹14.52L or the Astor Sharp Pro at ₹14.52L.
Our take
Same money either way, so take the Astor Sharp Pro: 360° camera, all-wheel disc brakes and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: hill descent control and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim.
- Also on the Astor Sharp Pro: panoramic sunroof, 6-way powered driver seat, rear parking camera and cruise control, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Astor Sharp Pro, you give up touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1") and third-row AC vents, which the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater keeps
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater if
- Your budget is firm and the basics are enough for you
- Choose the MG Astor Sharp Pro if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
