Features shared by the two compact SUVs include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and a wireless phone charger. The cabin of both Hyundai Creta and MG Astor comes with a dual-tone theme and leatherette-wrapped seats. To ensure passenger safety both cars come with 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera and level 2 ADAS
-
Hyundai Creta gets a larger infotainment and digital driver display along with a premium 8-speaker Bose sound system and dual-zone auto AC, all of which are not present on the MG Astor. It also gets a parking assist and front parking sensor in its safety suite.
-
MG Astor instead gets dual-tone 17-inch alloy wheels and heated ORVMs
Verdict
The Hyundai Creta is a feature-loaded SUV that works as both a daily driver and a long hauler. It gives you the choice of multiple engines and gearboxes, allowing you to customise what fits your needs. The cabin also comes with multiple amenities to make your commute comfortable, making the Creta a strong buy for almost everyone looking for a compact SUV as their next vehicle.
The MY update for the Astor has added common segment features that were missing. The cabin experience of lower to mid variants has also been upgraded along with a small boost to the safety suite. The lack of engine choices does hurt the MG Astor; however, it compensates for this with a more affordable price tag.
