Do some reviews claim that the Astor's infotainment system is as laggy as it is?

One of the most talked about aspects of the MG Astor has been its infotainment system. The feature packed unit is one of the largest screens in its segment and comes with the much talked about AI assistant. While that’s mostly the case, there have been reports of lag, freezes and general unresponsiveness, particularly when used with specific apps or features. There are some users that claim that recent software updates have sped things up, but there are other users who still find it unnecessarily slow. Often part of the debate is whether the occasional sluggishness of the system is worth the features it provides, or if a simpler, more responsive system would be better. The other question is how the system looks at competing with the likes of the Creta or Seltos in day to day usability. In a tech forward car like the Astor, the infotainment experience is what can make or break it for many potential buyers.
