From a stylish EV to a refined SUV, carmakers are offering more comfort and elegance this year. Here are 5 luxury cars to look forward to.
Ferrari Purosangue
Expected launch: Late 2023; Expected price: ₹6.5-7 crore
This is Ferrari’s first SUV with four doors. Rivalling the likes of the Bentley Bentayga and the Lamborghini Urus, this four-seater retains its sports car heritage, with a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine that belts out 725 hp of power at 7,750 rpm. A riveting soundtrack from the tail pipes is part of this SUV’s charm, along with the fact that it can dash from 0 to 100km/hour in just 3.3 seconds.

BMW X1

The new version of X1 is larger than its predecessor. The interior gets a makeover as well, with a curved display screen and a floating central console giving the cabin a more premium look.

Sporting a minimalistic design language, the fifth generation of the RX SUV will be available with two strong-hybrid powertrains—the RX350h Luxury Hybrid, and the RX500h F-Sport Performance.
Audi Q8 e-tron
Expected launch: Late 2023; Expected price: ₹1.05-1.25 crore
A new version of the Audi SUV EV will make its entry with the Q8 moniker. Customers can expect styling tweaks, a nicer cabin, and a range of up to 600km.
