Luxury Cars in India Under ₹50 Lakhs in 2025
For many, the image of luxury conjures up seven-figure price tags and imported cars. However, the Indian automotive scene of 2025 would be about so much more accessible – luxury on a budget sub-₹50 lakh that gives us the bling, speed and gadgetry without the baggage of a depreciating asset.
Ranging from German engineering to homegrown sophistication, brands have built products for Indian buyers looking for comfort, tech and band (wagons) value. We compiled this guide to show you all the models you can consider, and which one is for you.

Upcoming Luxury Cars to Expect Priced Under ₹50 Lakhs In 2025

India’s penchant for luxury vehicles is on the ascendency, and we expect a handful of new luxury models to roll out in 2025 just below the ₹50 lakh mark. These types include small EVs, next-gen versions of existing product, and a totally tech-car.

Audi Q2 Facelift (Expected)

Audi Q2 Facelift (Expected)
The Q2, however, is a discontinued nameplate that could come back in a new avatar, more spacious and functional than before. A 1.5L turbo-petrol engine and updated MMI infotainment system is likely to be offered with it.

Lexus LBX

The urban buyer-oriented petrol-hybrid compact SUV LBX is also being targeted by Lexus for India. If priced around the world aggressively, it could even slide under the NX and give buyers an inexpensive way to dip their toes into the luxury hybrid game.

Mini Countryman EV

Next-gen Mini Countryman could come to India via CBU route and priced at just below ₹50 lakh post possible EV incentives when it launches, also in EV version
Tip: For new launches, booking early usually means you get a first look at introductory pricing, so keep an eye on the brand.

Things To Consider In Making the Purchase

Purchasing a high-end vehicle is a significant financial purchase. Here’s what you need to assess outside of brand and performance:

On-Road vs Ex-Showroom Price

Make it a point to compare on-road prices, which includes & most importantly insurance, registration, road tax, and handling charges as well. Which means an ex-showroom priced at 45 lakhs could go on-road over 50 lakhs.

Maintenance Packages

They save you money long-term, and premium brands offer service packages or even extended warranties. For instance, BMW has BSI packages, and Mercedes has Star Ease programs.

Fuel Type & Driving Pattern

  • If you do mostly town driving, go for the petrol or electric. 
  • Diesel could be more efficient with plenty of highway miles. 
  • If your city has good charging infrastructure, then think about EVs.

Down-to-Earth Tips for a Mass-Market Car

  • Test Drive: Other Brands: Forget the badge. Each of the brands provides a distinct driving sensation. 
  • Ask for Corporate Discounts: A lot of luxury dealers give discounts for employees of certain firms or HNI customers. 
  • Check For Pre-Owned Luxury: A Mercedes C-Class or Audi A6 may be available in certified pre-owned under ₹50L. 
  • Verify Ground Clearance: You’ll want a vehicle with decent ground clearance for Indian use-cases, particularly with something like the 2 Series or even Superb, which are also made as sedans.
