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 →Volvo XC60 in short
The XC60 is Volvo's best-known model in India, refreshed in 2025 and sold as a single fully-loaded B5 AWD Ultra at ₹70.90 lakh — Volvo's current official figure for the MY2027 revision; some aggregators still show the older ₹69.60 lakh price. The 250 hp mild-hybrid petrol with AWD is the only powertrain. It fights the Mercedes GLC, BMW X3 and Audi Q5 in the heart of the midsize luxury SUV class, undercutting the GLC by about ₹6 lakh.
