The ultimate Luxury SUV battle: Range Rover vs Maybach GLS vs Lexus LX

The Urus is a great option for roads like ours. You get a supercar which is quite practical for our roads.

Land Rover Range Rover

What you’ll like:

  • Unmistakably Range Rover styling, yet futuristic at the same time
  • Drives just as the flagship Range Rover should. Very luxurious, extremely opulent, and makes you feel special
  • Easy to drive around despite the size. Manages to feel compact thanks to the all-wheel steering
  • Supreme quality interior in terms of design, materials and feel
  • A potent 6-cylinder diesel and plush ride quality make this car a brilliant mile muncher
  • The All-Wheel Drive system along with the Terrain Response system is more than capable of getting you out of tricky off-road conditions
  • Versatility in terms of seat configurations (3rd-row option available), engine choices (including 8-cylinder petrol & plug-in hybrid) and trims. Highly customisable SV variant also now on offer
  • Sheer respect that the big Range gets you everywhere. Pretty much instant celebrity status

What you won’t:

  • Hugely expensive now. Pricing is in the ~3 crore range
  • The waiting period is currently a minimum of 6 months long
  • Expect maintenance & upkeep to be very expensive as well. If you have to ask how much it costs to maintain, this is probably not the car for you
  • Questionable reliability and after-sales service quality
  • Misses out on the absolute tank-like feel of the previous gen car
  • Something as basic as TPMS is not offered as standard (it is available as an option)

Here’s what BHPian AYP had to say on the matter:

The Urus is a great option for roads like ours. You get a Supercar which is quite practical for our roads. Yes, the dynamics may be compromised but you gain those necessary few centimetres of ground clearance and also the practicality of carrying your family with you. It may not be as opulent as the Range Rover or the Maybach but as a package, if one has to choose a single car, it is gonna be the Urus for me.

If I had to buy an SUV for the luxury factor, it shall be the Range Rover. If someone were to gift one of these to me with a bond of 10 years, I’ll go for the Lexus, save some money on fuel and bank on the legendary Toyota, I mean Lexus reliability.

The Maybach might be a nice middle ground between the Range Rover and the Lexus, balancing the opulence and the reliability factor.

Here’s what BHPian 14000rpm had to say on the matter:

What is the intent of this poll? are you considering buying one of these?

While the Range Rover, GLS / GLS Maybach and Lexus LX are options in the same category of vehicles, the Urus is the odd inclusion. The 1st 3 options can’t masquerade as a Urus alternate and neither can Urus pretend to be one of the other options.

I have anyway voted for the Range Rover.

the Maybach GLS is too chintzy looking with its overuse of chrome.

Here’s what BHPian Sahil had to say on the matter:

I too am confused on what is the objective of this poll/thread. The choices are very diverse and if its to make/recommend an option then the criteria needs to be clear.

I would love to be in this boat of options, personally for me, its the Urus. If for any other family member where comfort is priority then it’s a tough fight between the RR LWB and GLS Maybach.
