    The MG Astor is currently the best car under 1600cc in India. Moreover, it is the only vehicle on this list with level-2 autonomous driving tech. Speaking about the 5-seater SUV, the MG Astor is the petrol-only version of the all-electric MG ZS EV SUV. The MG Astor is powered by two engine options, both of which come under 1600cc. The first engine option is a 1.5-litre petrol unit with 108.5 bhp. This engine can be specified with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a more sophisticated 8-speed CVT gearbox. The second option is a more potent turbocharged 1.3-litre petrol engine with 138bhp. This engine will be solely mated to a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Our choice is the 1.5-litre engine with the CVT gearbox as it offers a hassle-free and relaxed driving experience which suits the character of the SUV.
