The classic luxury suv shortlist, settled with numbers (October 2026):

Three-Way Specification Comparison
Audi Q5 in short
The Q5 is Audi's midsize luxury SUV in India, priced ₹65.55 lakh (Premium Plus) to ₹70.73 lakh (Technology) — undercutting the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC by over ₹10 lakh at entry. Both variants run a 249 PS 2.0L TFSI petrol with quattro all-wheel drive standard. This is the 2021 facelift of the second-generation car, holding the value position while its German rivals moved to newer, pricier generations.
Full Q5 prices & variants →Jaguar F-Pace in short
The F-Pace is the last Jaguar you can buy new in India — and only while dealer stock lasts. Global production of every current Jaguar has ended as the brand resets itself as an electric-only marque, with jaguar.in now teasing the electric Type 01 expected in late 2026 or early 2027. Until stock runs out, the F-Pace is listed in a single R-Dynamic S trim at ₹72.90 lakh, petrol and diesel identically priced. If you want a new petrol or diesel Jaguar, this is the final window, and availability may end any week.
Full F-Pace prices & variants →Land Rover Discovery Sport in short
The Discovery Sport is Land Rover's most affordable model in India and the only 5+2-seat option in the compact luxury SUV class: a single Dynamic SE trim at ₹63.37 lakh with petrol and diesel identically priced, per Land Rover India's official pan-India list. The third row is occasional-use, child-friendly seating, but no Mercedes GLA, BMW X1 or Audi Q3 offers one at all — that flexibility plus Land Rover's Terrain Response is the whole pitch.
