Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.43L more for the Astor Savvy Pro: the Astor Savvy Pro shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS and 360° camera. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Astor Savvy Pro: blind spot monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), hill descent control and touchscreen (10.1" against 9"), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Astor Savvy Pro, you give up wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Urban Cruiser Hyryder G(O) keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder G(O) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.43L 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
