Morris Garages has officially commenced bookings for the Astor compact SUV. You can reserve yours online or at your nearest MG dealership. Deliveries will begin from November, with the first lot consisting of only 5,000 units. The low volume is possibly due to the ongoing global semiconductor shortage that has hamstrung carmakers across the country.
