The Lexus RX 350h is the luxury SUV for people who spend more time in traffic than on empty highways. At Rs 89.99 lakh ex-showroom for the Exquisite grade, it costs less than a BMW X5, Mercedes GLE or Volvo XC90, it is a strong hybrid that can creep through town on electric power, and Lexus backs it with an 8-year, 160,000km warranty. The trade-offs are real: it seats only five, it sounds strained when
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II is the most complete luxury SUV you can buy in India, and also the hardest one to justify on paper. Autocar India lists it from Rs 10.33 crore ex-showroom, and the Black Badge version at Rs 11.92 crore, before a single option is ticked. For that you get a 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12, a rear seat that rivals a Phantom’s for calm, and the kind of presence no Bentley or Maybach
You can no longer buy a new Volvo S90 in India. Volvo India dropped its only sedan from the line-up by June 2025, which means every S90 you can buy today is a pre-owned car. That is exactly why it is worth a second look. The S90 was always the quiet, comfortable, well-built alternative to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class, and it cost less than both when new. As a used buy, the
The Volvo EX30 costs Rs 41.00 lakh ex-showroom and about Rs 43.67 lakh on-road in Delhi, which makes it the most affordable car you can buy from a European luxury brand in India today. It is quick, quiet, rides well, and has a 69kWh battery that Indian testers have found good for roughly 350km in real use. It is also a small car with a cramped rear seat and a cabin that hides almost every
In India, the plug-in hybrid isn’t one S-Class option among several. It is the S-Class. Autocar India currently lists only the S 450e, at Rs 2.20 crore to Rs 2.38 crore ex-showroom, so the real question is whether this car makes sense for you at all, or whether an EQS, a BMW 7 Series or a pre-owned S-Class is the smarter buy. Our view: the S 450e is a smart choice if the car charges
The Range Rover Velar costs Rs 81.00 lakh to Rs 87.50 lakh ex-showroom in India, and nine years after it was first revealed, it is still the most striking SUV you can buy for that money. It is quiet, comfortable and beautifully finished. It is also an old design with a fiddly touchscreen cabin, a replacement already on the way, and a reliability reputation you should go in clear-eyed about. Our advice: if you want
The BMW X6 is now sold in India only as the X6 M60i xDrive, a fully imported model priced at Rs 1,77,90,000 ex-showroom. It pairs a 530hp, 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering, and it is properly quick: BMW claims 0-100kph in 4.3 seconds, and Autocar India’s timed run came in at 4.11 seconds. It is a superb performance SUV with a compromised back seat, and anyone who wants the X6 shape
The Land Rover Defender is priced from roughly ₹1 crore to ₹2.6 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi) after the GST 2.0 rate cut of September 2025 pulled every variant down by lakhs. It comes in three body styles, 90, 110 and 130, and five engine options ranging from a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder to the 626bhp Octa’s 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. For most Indian buyers cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz G-Class or a Toyota Land Cruiser, the 110 diesel is the
A luxury SUV needs to offer more than a premium badge. It should be comfortable, spacious and useful every day. The Land Rover Discovery aims to do all three. It offers seven seats, a premium cabin and strong off-road ability. But how well does it work as a family SUV? This Land Rover Discovery review looks at its design, comfort, performance, practicality and off-road skills. Design and Road Presence The Discovery has a tall and
