So, Tesla finally launched in India. You can now book a Model Y for a cool sixty-something lakhs and pretend you live in a California suburb. But let’s not act like India’s EV scene was waiting for Elon to show up. The high rollers have been cruising electric for a while now. These aren't your polite little e-SUVs with eco-ambitions. These are unapologetically fast, tech-stuffed, six-crore cruisers that happen to run on batteries.
Audi Q8 e-tron
Price: ₹1.15 – ₹1.27 crore
408hp, 664Nm, 114kWh battery, 582km range. A luxury lounge on wheels. Multiple screens, massaging seats, and proper quattro credentials. 408hp, 664Nm, 95kWh battery, 484km range. The OG electric Audi in India. Still sharp, still plush, still expensive.
BMW iX xDrive50
Price: ₹1.40 crore
523hp, 765Nm, 105.2kWh battery, 575km range. Giant screens, a panoramic roof, and a cabin that feels like a Danish design house. Looks like a spaceship with kidney grilles.
Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 500 4MATIC
Price: ₹1.41 crore
408hp, 858Nm, 90.6kWh battery, 550km range. Sleek SUV styling with the full Hyperscreen treatment. Think chauffeur-driven condo.
Audi e-tron GT
Price: ₹1.72 crore
469hp, 630Nm, 93kWh battery, 481km range. Does 0–100 in 4.1 seconds. Understated but fast. If the RS is a nightclub, this is the members-only cigar bar.
Porsche Taycan
Price: ₹1.70 – ₹2.69 crore
522kW, 890Nm, 105kWh battery, 629km range, 0–100 in under 3 seconds. It’s electric but still pure Porsche. Handles like it's on rails, charges stupidly fast, and still has room for luggage and guilt.
Audi RS e-tron GT
Price: ₹2.05 crore
590hp, 830Nm, 93kWh battery, 500km range. 0–100 in 3.3 seconds. It’s sleek, it’s low, it’s got launch control and carbon brakes. Like a Taycan in an Audi suit.
Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+
Price: ₹2.45 crore
751hp, 1,020Nm, 107.8kWh battery, 526km range. 0–100 in 3.4 seconds. Sounds like a spaceship inside, thanks to AMG fake engine noise. Comes with carbon trim and a massage function. Brutal and bougie.
BMW i7 M70 xDrive
Price: ₹2.50 crore
650hp, 1,015Nm, 101.7kWh battery, 560km range. A straight-line missile in a tuxedo. Comes with a massive rear-seat theatre screen and interiors that feel like a techno jazz lounge. Not for drivers. For owners.
Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV
Price: ₹2.28 – ₹2.63 crore
Luxury SUV meets blackout streetwear. 649hp, 858Nm, 122kWh battery, over 600km claimed range. Plush doesn’t even begin to cover it. Comes with a 56-inch Hyperscreen, reclining massaging seats, and the kind of sound system that ruins you for live music.
Lotus Eletre R
Price: ₹2.55 – ₹2.99 crore
This one’s for people who think Teslas are too subtle. 905hp, 1,000Nm, 112kWh battery, range close to 600km. It does 0–100 in 2.9 seconds and looks like it came out of a sci-fi reboot. Inside is KEF audio, roof-mounted LiDAR, and enough screens to launch a drone strike.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class Electric G 580
Price: ₹3 crore
Four motors, one at each wheel. 587hp, 1,165Nm, 116kWh battery, 473km range. Will do 0–100 in 4.7 seconds and also climb a hill like a mountain goat. Has a "G-Turn" feature that lets it spin in place. Looks like it bench-presses Land Rovers for fun.
Rolls-Royce Spectre
Price: ₹7.50 crore
The regular Spectre is hardly basic. 585hp, 900Nm, same battery and range. Slightly slower to 100, if you care. It’s quieter than your ex after closure. There’s leather, there’s wood, there’s the unmistakable smugness of knowing you're driving a two-door EV that’s heavier than an elephant but somehow doesn’t feel like it.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge
Price: ₹9.5 crore
659hp. 1,075Nm. 102kWh battery. 530km claimed range. 0–100 in 4.1 seconds. It floats, it glides, it costs more than a South Mumbai flat. The Black Badge adds a sinister blackout treatment to the Spectre and pushes its torque into four-figure territory. Bespoke everything, from the colour to the stars on the ceiling.
