<h2>Have you not checked out this MG Astor VS MG Hector Article yet? If not, be the first one to know the differences and similarities between the two SUVs! </h2>



<p>MG Astor is a five-seater subcompact SUV that was revealed quite recently in the Indian market with great pomp. The SUV was awaited with much anticipation as it is a new offering from MG Motors in the mid-size SUV space. The Astor is the brand's flagship product that MG plans to compete with the current segment leader- the Hyundai Creta. </p>



<p>The SUV reinforces its presence with its macho design and robust styling in the sub-compact SUV space but more importantly, it is offered as an alternative to consumers who are not willing to opt for a huge SUV like the Hector. The MG Hector is substantially larger than the Astor in dimensions, however, both the SUVs are part of the mid-size SUV segment. Therefore, it is quite natural for enthusiasts as well as consumers to get confused regarding which vehicle to choose. </p>



<p>At this juncture, we at 91Wheels believe that it is necessary to compare MG Astor with MG Hector, two flagship SUVs that fall in the same segment. To begin with, let us compare the dimension of the two SUVs to represent the concerns of the consumers:</p>

<h3><strong>MG Astor VS MG Hector: Dimensions </strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/MG-Astor-Side-Profile-image.jpg" alt="Mg Astor VS MG Hector " class="wp-image-38548"/></figure>



<h5>Table-1:</h5>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dimensions</strong>&nbsp;(in mm)</td><td><strong>Astor</strong></td><td><strong>Hector</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Length</strong></td><td>4323</td><td>4655</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Width</strong></td><td>1809</td><td>1835</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Height</strong></td><td>1654</td><td>1760</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Wheelbase</strong></td><td>2580</td><td>2750</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>The aforementioned details in the table clearly point out the fact that the Astor is smaller in size compared to the Hector, whatsoever, the two vehicles have proportions that are quite comparable due to the minor difference in dimensions. </p>



<p>However, the main difference between the two SUVs is their lengths which also has a significant effect on the wheelbase. This establishes the fact that due to the difference in length, the boot and cabin space of the Hector is quite larger than the Astor. With this being said, the Astor cannot be discounted as a small SUV that is not spacious enough. As for the height, the two SUVs have a tall stance but on paper, the MG Hector is bigger than the Astor as per the reference ( Table-1).</p>



<h3>MG Astor VS Hector Specs Comparison</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/New-MG-Hector-Facelift-1-e1631986445293.jpg" alt="MG Hector" class="wp-image-29239"/></figure>



<h5>Table-2:</h5>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Specifications</strong></td><td><strong>Astor</strong></td><td><strong>Hector</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Engine</strong></td><td>1.5L Petrol and<br>1.4L Turbo Petrol</td><td>1.5L Turbo-Petrol,<br>1.5L Turbo-Petrol with Mild Hybrid,<br>2.0L Diesel</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Transmission</strong></td><td>6-speed manual<br>CVT / Automatic</td><td>6-speed manual<br>CVT / DCT (P)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Power</strong></td><td>110 PS / 140 PS</td><td>143 PS (P) / 170 PS (D)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Torque</strong></td><td>144 Nm / 220 Nm</td><td>250 Nm (P) / 350 Nm (D)</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>The aforementioned details in 'Table-2.' clearly mentions the fact that MG Hector is the more powerful vehicle when compared with the Astor. Also, the Hector has a diesel powertrain which is not offered in Astor. </p>



<p>On the other hand, the turbo petrol engine of the Astor and the Petrol engine of the Hector has quite a similar power figure on paper, however, the Hector has the upper hand in terms of torque. As for the transmission, both the vehicles come with 6 speed CVT, however, the Hector gets a DCT in the petrol variant. </p>

<p>In terms of features, the Hector is loaded with tech that was deemed best-in-segment during the time of its debut. The Astor also comes equipped with modern technology and gizmos that are appreciated by auto enthusiasts, however, comparing to the Hector, the list of features on offer is slightly less on the Astor. </p>



<p> The Astor has first-in-segment Level 2 ADAS (Autonomous Driver Assistance System). It features Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Reverse Parking Assist,  Speed Warning system, Lane Departure Warning and much more. In addition to these features, the Astor comes with AI integrated personal virtual assistant that supports various functions such as Navigation, Hold Conversations, Safety Warning Function, Multiple Language support and even jokes.</p>

<h3>Comparison of Styling:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Untitled-design-10.png" alt="MG Astor" class="wp-image-38070"/></figure>



<p>The Astor and Hector have a unique design that is aesthetically appealing. As for the Astor, at the front-end, it gets an all-new hexagonal 'Celestial' chrome grille that has a black finish coupled with chrome accents and a huge MG badge. The vehicle gets black bezels around the fog lamps that give it a rugged and sporty look. Also, the sharp arrow-shaped LED DRLs that are integrated into the projector headlamps in the upper section present it with an upmarket feel. </p>



<p> On the other hand, Hector's headlamp and DRL setup surely seem unique and different from the conventional design.  The sharp-looking LED DRLs in the upper portion of the front-end and C-shaped headlamps in the lower section give Hector an upmarket feel. </p>



<p>The Astor also gets new dual-tone alloy wheels like the Hector that contribute to the good looks of the side profile. The subcompact SUV also has structural reinforcements for better pedestrian safety. However, unlike Hector, the Astor gets minimal creases and lines that add to the simplicity of its unique design. In addition to all this, the SUV comes with black-coloured wing mirrors and body-coloured door handles. Also, the chunky roof rails add to the bold character of Astor.&nbsp;</p>



<p>At the rear, both the SUVs have a black cladding that runs across the width of the tailgate. The Astor's tailgate houses an arrow-shaped LED embellisher with Astor lettering in chrome. The MG Hector on the other hand has an edgy looking LED taillight. It even gets a stylish skid plate. It would not be fair to leave out the fact that like the Astor’s front end, the rear end also presents a macho look.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h3>Verdict:</h3>



<p>It is quite inevitable to state the fact that MG Hector is the bigger and mightier SUV among the two but the Astor features modern tech and gizmos that are first-in-segment. However, the question as to which of the two must be bought is still a mystery as the price of the Astor is yet to be revealed. </p>

MG Astor VS MG Hector: Which One Should You Buy?

<p><strong>Have you looked at the Ola e-scooter Vs Simple One e-scooter comparison? If not, give this article a read to know which is the best! </strong></p>



<p>At times when electric mobility is at the epitome of automotive evolution, it is only natural for consumers to seek the emergence of new and diversified range of products that they can rely upon. Ola Electric and Simple Energy are two such brands that have an imminent response to those consumers anticipating new-gen technology in electric mobility that can be totally relied on.  </p>



<p>However, these two separate ventures which go by the name Ola Electric and Simple Energy are worthy opponents in the game of "Who is the best" in the EV world. Both these electric mobility development and solutions companies are planning to launch their electric bikes on August 15, hence, experts anticipate these two brands to rival each other in becoming the best.  </p>



<p>So for the curious minds, we have compared the two products to see which is the best. The following are the comparison details of the two e-scooters from Ola Electric and Simple Energy: </p>



<h6><strong>Also Read:</strong> <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/how-to-ola-electric-scooter-book-online/">How To Book An Ola Electric Scooter? Here Is Your Answer</a></h6>



<p><em><strong>To begin with, let us discuss the booking of the two e-scooter:</strong></em></p>



<p><em> </em>The Ola e-scooter can be booked online for Rs.499 without any hassle and interestingly, Ola electric has already received an immense amount of response in the form of bookings from more than 1000 cities in India. In comparison to the Ola e-scooter, Simple Energy is yet to commence the booking of the Simple One electric scooter but experts anticipate that the Simple One could be an important rival for the likings of Ola e-scooter. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Simple-Energy-electric-scooter.jpg" alt="Simple One Electric Scooter" class="wp-image-37129"/></figure></div>



<p><em><strong>Next up is the range of these electric scooters:</strong></em></p>



<p>Simple Energy has already claimed that its electric scooter will offer a range of 240km on a single full charge. This is considered to be one of the highest ranges ever to be clocked by electric scooter companies in India. While the range of Ola Electric scooters is still a secret, rumours suggest that the vehicle will have a range of around 150km on a single charge. However, Ola has revealed that the e-scooter can provide 75km of range by just changing it for 18 minutes with a fast charger, so the rumours regarding its full range capacity might be true.  </p>



<p><em><strong>Let us now get into the power and top speed figures:</strong></em></p>



<p>Ola Electric is likely to launch its e-scooter in three variants- A base model can be expected with decent features and a motor that has the capacity to clock a top speed of 45kmph. A mid variant can also be expected with a top speed of 70kmph and finally, a top-spec model that has the capacity to reach speeds of 95Kmph is also anticipated.</p>



<p>In comparison to the Ola e-scooter, the top speed of the Simple One e-scooter is said to be 100 kmph and the vehicle has also clocked 0 to 50 km per hour in just 3.6 seconds thanks to its 4.8 kWh lithium-ion battery.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/ola-electric-scooter-launch.jpg" alt="ola electric scooter launch 2021" class="wp-image-34395"/></figure></div>

Ola E-Scooter Vs Simple One: Range, Price, Top Speed Comparison

<p>Skoda marked its inning into the mid-size SUV segment with the Kushaq and has received a tremendous response. In no time, the bookings have crossed to over 2000 units and the market is liking the European touch when it is dominated by South Korean cousins, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. However, the Czech carmaker has always been known for higher maintenance costs but with the newer MQB-AO IN platform that offers 95% localisation, Skoda has tamed down the costs by a margin. Still, how does it compete with the market rival, Kia Seltos? In this article, we compare the maintenance cost of Skoda Kushaq vs Kia Seltos and bring you the detail you're looking for. </p>

<h2>Skoda Kushaq vs Kia Seltos Service Cost Comparison</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Service Schedule</strong></td><td><strong>Skoda Kushaq</strong></td><td><strong>Hyundai Creta</strong></td></tr><tr><td>1<sup>st</sup>&nbsp;Service</td><td>Rs 2,128 @ 15,000 km/1 year</td><td>Rs 1,549 @ 10,000 km/1 year</td></tr><tr><td>2<sup>nd</sup>&nbsp;Service&nbsp;</td><td>Rs 7,150 @ 30,000 km/2 years</td><td>Rs 4,341 @ 20,000 km/2 years</td></tr><tr><td>3<sup>rd</sup>&nbsp;Service</td><td>Rs 6,260 @ 45,000 km/3 years</td><td>Rs 4,103 @ 30,000 km/3 years</td></tr><tr><td>4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Service</td><td>Rs 8,000 @ 60,000 km/4 years</td><td>Rs 4,385 @ 40,000 km/4 years</td></tr><tr><td>5<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Service</td><td>Rs 6,260 @ 75,000 km/5 years</td><td>Rs 4,147 @ 50,000 km/5 years</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>Here, we have taken the 1.0L petrol Skoda Kushaq and the 1.5L petrol Kia Seltos manual transmission. From the table above, it is clear that the Seltos will be lighter on the pocket when compared with the Skoda Kushaq in the five years ownership experience. For the first year, the service cost of the Skoda Kushaq will set you at Rs 2,128 whereas Kia Seltos sticks to Rs 1,549. </p>

<p>It is also worth noting that the service schedules of both SUVs are different. The first-year service interval sticks to 15,000 km or 1 year for the Kushaq whereas for the Seltos it sticks to 10,000 km or 1 year. At the end of 5 years, the kms for the Kushaq sticks to 75,000 km whereas for the Kia Seltos it is as low as 50,000 km. That's a massive 25,000 km difference between the two. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Skoda-Kushaq-20.jpg" alt="Skoda Kushaq" class="wp-image-35427"/></figure>



<p>If you calculate the five-year service cost charge for both the SUVs then the Skoda Kushaq will set you Rs 29,798 whereas the total of Kia Seltos sticks to Rs 18,525. Yes, there's a difference of 11,273 but do note that at the end of the fifth year, the set kms limiter to as much as 75,000 km for the Skoda Kushaq whereas the Seltos only gets at 50,000 km. Also, the cost of wheel alignment and balancing is not mentioned in any of the periodic service intervals above. </p>



<p>One thing worth noting here is that Kia is a sister brand of Hyundai and the carmaker plans to have as many as service centres and dealerships across the country to create a wide area of network. So no matter where you cruise in any part of India, chances are Kia's service point will be easier to locate. However, the same cannot be said about Skoda India. Also, the costs of spare parts are not yet known for Skoda. </p>



<h2>Skoda Kushaq vs Kia Seltos Maintenance Cost Comparison</h2>

<p>Skoda offers a 4 year or 1 lakh km warranty as standard whereas Kia offers 3 years/ unlimited km warranty. For those looking to churn out more km from their SUV, it is the Kia Seltos that will keep them happy with the standard warranty.

<p>Skoda provides three AMC packages for the Kushaq namely - Standard, Enhanced and Comprehensive.

2021 Ford Figo Automatic vs Hyundai Grand i10 Nios AMT

<p>Honda Amaze has been one of the more successful cars from the local subsidiary of the Japanese carmaker giant. Other than being the first sub-4-metre sedan from Honda Cars India, it also became the first model from its carmaker to offer a diesel engine option.</p>

<p>Needless to say, it was a runaway success and easily garnered the attention of a lot of car buyers. That said, the first generation had some niggles but with the introduction of the second-gen model in 2018, Honda ironed out the issues to a large extent. Now, fast forward to 2021, the carmaker has introduced a mid-cycle facelift that gets updated styling for a fresher appearance. The Honda Amaze has been priced from roughly Rs 6.3 lakh to Rs 11.5 lakh, ex-showroom,. It goes on to compete with Maruti Dzire, Tata Tigor, Hyundai Aura and Ford Aspire.</p>


<p>Thanks to an ever-increasing craze for SUVs, it&rsquo;s not unusual for carmakers to come up with &lsquo;SUV-inspired&rsquo; versions of their hatchbacks. So far, we&rsquo;ve had models like the VW Cross Polo, Skoda Fabia Scout, Hyundai i20 Active, Maruti Suzuki Celerio X and Tata Tiago NRG. It must be noted here that the Tiago-based model was discontinued during the BS4-to-BS6 transition but after a hiatus of a few months, it has been re-introduced with a set of minor changes and, more importantly, a BS VI-compliant petrol engine.</p>

<p>The Tata Tiago NRG retails in a price band of Rs 6.57 lakh to Rs 7.10 lakh, ex-showroom, and like its donor hatchback, it&rsquo;s available only with a petrol engine. Compared to the Tiago, the NRG is more than Rs 23,000 costlier but the premium pricing is justified through a more rugged styling package. At the moment, the only direct rival of this car is the Maruti Suzuki Celerio X while it even locks horns with the base model of the Ford Freestyle on the pricing front. Also, it&rsquo;s important to mention here that apart from the more rugged-looking exterior, much else, including the engine specs, interior and safety package, remains the same as what you get on the donor hatchback.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>


<p>Electric Vehicles are gradually becoming very popular in the Indian market. Hyundai Kona was the first mass-market electric car in India to offer a good driving range in real-world conditions and it was followed by the MG ZS EV, Tata Nexon EV, Tata Tigor EV, etc. However, in the luxury electric vehicle space, Mercedes-Benz took a leap ahead by launching the new Mercedes-Benz EQC. The EQC was the first luxury electric car to be launched in the country and it was followed by the Jaguar I-PACE. However, it was actually Audi which first showcased the e-tron in India.</p>

<p>The Audi e-tron is Audi&rsquo;s first all-electric SUV and it was originally showcased in India back in 2019. However, the coronavirus pandemic and the nationwide lockdown kept delaying its launch and it has been finally launched in the country in July 2021. The all-new Audi e-tron is an electric luxury SUV. The e-tron looks like a typical Audi car, it gets a host of features and an eco-friendly powertrain compared to the other internal combustion models of Audi on sale in India. The Audi e-tron is even considered one of the best EVs currently on sale in India.</p>


<p>First launched in 2000, the Mahindra Bolero has been one of the best-selling UVs in the country. However, with no generation upgrade in two decades, it&rsquo;s definitely getting a bit long in the tooth now and this is exactly where the Bolero Neo comes in. Based on the now-defunct TUV300, the new model is essentially an updated version of the sub-4-metre ladder-frame compact SUV but dumped its original identity for the &lsquo;Bolero&rsquo; moniker.</p>

<p>With prices falling in the Rs 8.5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh bracket, the Mahindra Bolero Neo ends up rivalling more sophisticated monocoque B-SUVs like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue and Tata Nexon. However, it&#39;s a one-of-a-kind offering that impresses with the kind of ruggedness none of its monocoque rivals can offer. Moreover, with improved specifications, more modern styling and a Multi-Locking Differential (MLD), it ends up being a definite upgrade over its own namesake. With all the bases covered, it will be now interesting to see if the typical clientele of Mahindra Bolero would accept the re-branded TUV300 as a logical choice over a bare-bones UV that has soldiered on for over two decades now.&nbsp;</p>
