Land Rover Discovery in short
The Discovery is Land Rover's dedicated seven-seater, updated for MY26 in October 2025 with a new trim walk: Gemini at ₹1.26 crore, Dynamic HSE at ₹1.30 crore and the new Tempest flagship at ₹1.39 crore, all powered by the 350 PS D350 mild-hybrid diesel. Prices are from Land Rover India's official pan-India list.

The Macan is a two-generation story in one showroom: the previous-generation petrol Macan continues at ₹91.09 lakh with a 265 PS 2.0L turbo — the cheapest way into a new Porsche in India — while the new-generation Macan is electric-only, from ₹1.22 crore for the base Macan Electric through the 4S at ₹1.63 crore to the Turbo at ₹1.78 crore. That petrol car is the entry point to the whole brand. Rivals span the Mercedes GLC and BMW X3 (petrol) to the BMW iX and Audi electric SUVs.
