Lexus RX in short
The RX is Lexus's larger luxury SUV, hybrid across the board: the RX 350h strong hybrid in Exquisite (₹89.99 lakh) and Luxury (₹98.04 lakh) trims, and the RX 500h F SPORT+ at ₹1.10 crore with a 371 hp turbocharged performance hybrid. Prices are from Lexus India's official list. Against the Mercedes GLE and BMW X5 — none of which offers a hybrid — the RX is the efficiency-first alternative, with the 500h adding genuine pace to the pitch.

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.
