The Patrol is huge — longer and wider than many rivals. Expect unmatched road presence, even compared to the Toyota Land Cruiser.
Expected price: ₹1.2–1.5 crore (ex-showroom) Positioned directly against: • Toyota Land Cruiser • Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
• Luxury SUV lovers • Off-road enthusiasts • Business owners & VIP buyers • Those wanting something rare and bold It’s not common — and that’s the appeal.
