Honda Elevate vs MG Astor: which should you buy?
The MG Astor starts at ₹9.79L against the Honda Elevate's ₹11.81L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹2.02L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹15.30L, where the Astor tops out. Past that only the Elevate has anything left to sell you, up to ₹16.36L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹15.30L to both showrooms and you come out with the Elevate ZX at ₹15.19L or the Astor Savvy Pro at ₹15.30L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.11L more for the Astor Savvy Pro: the Astor Savvy Pro shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds 360° camera and all-wheel disc brakes. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Astor Savvy Pro: tyre pressure monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane) and ventilated front seats, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Astor Savvy Pro, you give up touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"), wired CarPlay / Android Auto and speakers (8 against 6), which the Elevate ZX keeps
- Choose the Honda Elevate ZX if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.11L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the MG Astor Savvy Pro if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
