The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Genuine 7-seat flagship comfort with 9 airbags standard
  • Real choice between petrol and diesel across 6 total variants, including AMG Line and Night Edition trims
  • Boot expands from 355 litres with all 3 rows up to 2400 litres with the second row folded, genuinely versatile

Worth knowing

  • Around 8.5 kmpl mileage means genuinely high running costs
  • At over Rs 1.4 crore for the top trim, it directly rivals dedicated ultra-luxury SUVs
  • Not yet independently crash-tested by Euro NCAP, so no third-party safety rating exists
