The closest could be the flagship BMW XM which is also a very fast SUV. However, the XM from BMW uses a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain which results in 653hp and 800Nm. The XM claims to do 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and can also run in pure EV mode. The Eletre on the other hand has a 603bhp dual motor system with a 600km range along with a 0-100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds. The faster Eletre R does 0-100 km/h at a faster 2.97 seconds with over 900 bhp while the range dips below 500km at 490km. There are other performance SUVs too but not necessarily competing with the likes of the Lamborghini Urus which is the most popular super luxury SUV in India.

The Urus Performante has a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with 666bhp which means a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds. It is priced at Rs 4.2 crore.
