Porsche Macan in short
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.

The XC90 is Volvo's seven-seat flagship, sold in India in its 2025-facelift form as a single fully-loaded variant: the B5 AWD Ultra at ₹98.80 lakh, powered by a 250 hp 2.0L mild-hybrid petrol. That one-variant strategy makes it the only sub-₹1-crore seven-seat flagship from a European luxury brand — the Mercedes GLS and BMW X7 both start well above. Volvo's safety-first engineering is the brand's calling card, and the electric EX90 flagship is slated to join it in India with a launch set for October 12.
