The car market in India has expanded dramatically in the last two decades. We have seen a number of car manufacturers from all around the world launching their cars and brands in India. Indian car manufacturers have also blossomed introducing a number of models and variants over the years. Some of the leading manufacturers in the country include Tata, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Maruti Suzuki. From compact and budget-friendly hatchbacks to luxurious and expensive sedans and SUVs, the Indian roads see a diverse range of cars. The price range of these cars start at a few lakhs and end at a few crores.
India’s leading automobile manufacturer Tata had launched the Tata Nano as the car that would cost Rs.1 lakh. However, only the first few buyers got this price. The current ex-showroom price in Delhi for a base model is about Rs. 2 lakhs. The highest on road price for the Tata Nano is about Rs. 3.64 lakhs. However, the Nano has an unmatched competitor that has had a long-run in the market and is still going strong. The budget-friendly Maruti Suzuki Alto starts at Rs. 2.52 lakhs ex-showroom and dominates the market as the highest selling car.
In between, India seems to have an unlimited supply of mid size cars, vans, MUVs, MPVs, sedans, executive cars, and premium cars. These cars usually fall between Rs. 6 lakhs up to Rs. 35 lakhs.
Right on top, India has the cars that turn heads on the roads with their large size and smooth drive. These cars fall under the categories of luxury cars, super luxury cars, SUVs, convertibles, sports cars and super cars. These cars cost nothing less than Rs. 50 lakhs and roll into crores. The Jaguar XJ, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche Cayman, and the Audi RS5 are some of the cars that cost little over a crore. The most expensive cars available in the country range between Rs. 8.5 crore and Rs. 13 crore. These cars include the Conquest Evade, Bugatti Veyron and the Koenigsegg Agera. With so many choices in the automobile market, it’s no wonder that the price range varies so much. Looking at the different segments of cars, we can estimate a price range for the cars.

The Mini Clubman has been launched in India for Rs.37.90 lakhs. In the early days, the Mini Clubman was a family car with only 2 doors, later it got 2 more doors, and became the largest Mini to be ever made. Originally, the Mini was a two-door car that could seat 4, while the Clubman nameplate represents a four-door Mini. In 1969, Roy Hanes had restyled the Mini which was then called the Mini Clubman.
When BMW took over the Mini brand, it didn’t have the rights to use the names, ‘Countryman’ and ‘Traveller’ (names used for two-door cars). However, BMW had bought the name, 'Clubman', and used it to refer to the Mini's estate version. The 1st generation Mini Clubman didn’t have 4 doors, but the car was bigger than the regular Mini. It had bi-parting cargo area doors and the 'Clubdoor'. The 2nd generation Mini Clubman has 4 doors without the Clubdoor, but has the bi-parting cargo area doors. It is the largest Mini to be made by BMW till date.
