The MG Astor 100-Year Limited Edition is a feature-packed compact SUV now available in a special new avatar. This article details the differences, upgrades, and price range of this exciting new edition.
Introducing the 100-Year Limited Edition
This special edition of the MG Astor brings a new look and feel. It comes with a new color called Evergreen, which adds a unique touch. The price for this edition starts from ₹14,81,000 for the manual transmission and ₹16,80,000 for the CVT automatic transmission (ex-showroom). This special Astor is offered in the Sharp Pro variant, with both manual and automatic (CVT) gearbox options.
Striking Front Design
The front of the MG Astor 100-Year Limited Edition features the new Evergreen color, giving it a distinct appearance. You will notice a prominent MG logo at the front. If a 360-degree camera is included, its placement will be here. The grille is entirely black, similar to the Black Storm edition.
The SUV is equipped with automatic projector LED headlamps and bright DRLs (Daytime Running Lights). The turn indicators are placed just above the DRLs. Below, you will find fog lamp housing with a glossy black finish. The lower grille is also all black. The front bumper includes a towing point. The front profile is completed with dual wipers and washers, and a large panoramic sunroof.
Dynamic Side Profile
From the side, the Astor 100-Year Limited Edition stands out with its 17-inch black alloy wheels. Red brake calipers add a sporty look. The tires are 215/55 R17 radial. Black body cladding runs along the entire side of the car, from front to back.
The outside mirrors are auto-foldable and have halogen bulb indicators. A 360-degree camera is also placed under the outside mirror. The A-pillar has a glossy black finish, complemented by black roof rails. The B-pillar has a matte black finish, and chrome garnish runs along the side windows. For convenient keyless entry, request sensors are provided on both front doors. The rear wheels also feature disc brakes, though with silver calipers compared to the red ones at the front.
Elegant Rear View
The rear profile showcases a large MG logo and prominent Astor badging. The roof has a gloss black finish, and you’ll find a rear wiper, defogger, and a high-mount stop lamp. A shark fin antenna is positioned on the roof.

A reverse parking camera is located near the number plate, with a black finish on its plate. A chrome treatment near the exhaust gives the impression of a dual exhaust, adding to the sporty appeal, though there is only one actual exhaust.
Spacious Boot
Accessing the boot is unique. The Astor offers a generous 488 liters of boot space, enough for plenty of luggage. It includes a parcel tray, which can be removed to increase usable space. The rear seats can be folded in a 60:40 split ratio for even more cargo room. There are also useful storage compartments on the sides.
