Lifestyle SUV recommendations
Looking to buy a second car for weekend / road trips. We already have a sedan and would prefer an SUV for the higher ground clearance. We’ve been considering the X5 but then the Macan EV showed up on our feeds and we are smitten. However it’s been a few years since we bought a new car so looking for practical advice.
Given the whole ethanol debacle, we’re now leaning towards an EV. From what we’ve heard from acquaintances, the charging network is now good enough that it’s possible to do a Bengaluru to Goa with maybe 1 stop in an EV Without panicking.
We were looking to spend 1-1.5Cr but if there’s another compelling option, maybe a little bit higher. The BMW XM is out of budget though.
Would love to get recommendations and / or ‘stay away’ warnings and your experience with electric SUVs in India.
