For example, we have included entry-level luxury cars that offer value without compromising on the luxurious experience associated with premium automobiles.
Rolls Royce Phantom (9.5 – 11.35 Crore)
It has been over a decade since the highly anticipated arrival of the new and iconic Rolls-Royce saloon. After much speculation, fans were pleasantly surprised by the unveiling of the new Phantom through a live stream. This allowed admirers to witness firsthand how the historic automaker is adapting to the changing times. Rolls-Royce, a renowned British brand, recently introduced its 8th Phantom in India. Fans are well aware that the starting price for the standard-wheelbase model is Rs. 9.50 crore, while the luxury variant’s price ranges from Rs. 11.35 crore.
Ferrari SF90 Stradale (7.5 Crore)
The design of the SF90 Spider is primarily focused on maintaining the distinctive aesthetic of the SF90 Stradale. The Ferrari Styling Centre has done a remarkable job in seamlessly blending the tonneau area with the rest of the vehicle, while still showcasing the RHT compartment and the visible V8 through the engine bay cover. This means that whether the RHT is extended or retracted, the V8 remains the focal point and is clearly visible. The SF90 Spider incorporates cutting-edge technology that adjusts power flows according to different driving conditions. With the new eManettino, drivers can simply select one of the power unit modes (eDrive, Hybrid, Performance, or Qualify) to enjoy an exhilarating driving experience.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan, the British automaker’s first ever vehicle, is now available for purchase in India. Starting at 6.95 Crore (ex-showroom, India), the Rolls Royce Cullinan offers a fully equipped model that can be customized with a wide range of extras. As part of Rolls-Royce’s “Architecture of Luxury,” the new Cullinan shares its base with the next-generation Phantom, making it the epitome of luxury SUVs. While not specifically designed for off-road adventures, the new Rolls Royce Cullinan boasts exceptional multi-terrain performance for an SUV in its class and market.

Featuring a taller chrome grille compared to the Wraith, the Dawn is enhanced by stylish projector-beam headlights and bright daytime running lights.
Bentley Mulsanne (5.55 – 6.6 Crore)
The fusion of elegance and strength is surpassed by the Mulsanne. Rather than a sudden explosion forward, its acceleration is perceived as a steady burst of seemingly endless force. When the throttle is pushed wide, the V8 engine produces a barely audible sound from inside the cabin, transforming into a rich and thunderous roar. An upgraded V8 engine provides the Mulsanne with greater range and up to 13% improved efficiency. Despite this enhancement, performance is not compromised, thanks to the 8-speed automatic gearbox that ensures smooth gearshifts and constant acceleration.

With its exceptional performance, unmatched luxury, and distinctive coupe style, the Wraith stands out. Priced at Rs. 5 crores, the Rolls-Royce Wraith is a four-seater coupe.

Ferrari 488 Spider (4.34 Crore)
The 488 Spider features a spaceframe chassis composed of 11 different aluminium alloys and noble metals like magnesium. This results in increased torsion rigidity, a stiffer beam, and a 25% improvement in chassis performance, similar to the 488 GTB. The detachable hard top of the 488 Spider unfolds in two overlapping backward-folding parts, taking 14 seconds to retract or deploy completely. Powering the car is the same 3.9-litre V8 twin-turbo engine found in the 488 GTB. This engine generates 660 horsepower and 760 Nm of torque at 6750 rpm.
