Land Rover Range Rover in short
The Range Rover is the flagship of the British luxury SUV world, and India gets it exclusively in long-wheelbase form: the D350 HSE diesel at ₹2.40 crore, the P400 Autobiography petrol at ₹2.65 crore, and the 615 PS V8 SV at ₹3.50 crore. All three are LWB, all mild-hybrid or V8 petrol — prices from Land Rover India's official July 2026 pan-India list.

The G-Class is the definitive luxury off-roader, and India's range covers all three energies: the ₹2.90 crore G 450d diesel, the ₹3.10 crore all-electric G 580 with EQ Technology — a quad-motor EV that can tank-turn on the spot — and the ₹3.74 crore AMG G 63 V8. Ladder-frame construction, three locking differentials and five-decade-old silhouette remain across all of them. It has no direct rival; the Land Rover Defender is the closest in ability, at a fraction of the price and prestige.
