Questions you may find useful
I am looking to buy a car for around Rs. 1 crore by the end of this year. I love sedans, but I am horrified about ground clearance, as my current C-Class scrapes over speed breakers quite often in my city. I am only considering hybrid or electric vehicles. I do not see diesel as a viable long-term option, as I typically keep my cars for around 10 years. Petrol is also not ideal for me because my monthly running is around 2,000 km, making it less economical. Could you please suggest suitable options?
For the moment, there's no hybrid sedan that fits your requirements. The Lexus ES 350h hybrid is due for launch, though.The Lexus ES is already on sale in a full electric Lexus ES 500e avatar. It packs in crisp styling, a lot of features and the promise of a reasonable range. However, we have yet to drive one and cannot comment on ground clearance at this time.Since you are open to buying electric, an enticing option is in the works. BMW is readying a long wheelbase version of the all-electric i5, and a key engineering job on the project is to ensure ample ground clearance for Indian conditions. The BMW i5 M60, sold in short wheelbase form, was notorious for scraping its belly on speedbreakers and bad roads, and the promise is that this won't be an issue on the i5 LWB. The model is expected to go on sale in the coming months and could be an exciting option to look for.
