Kartik Aaryan, a well-known actor in Bollywood, recently acquired a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover SV. He becomes the latest celebrity to acquire a premium SUV from the Land Rover series, following in the footsteps of Shikhar Dhawan and Ranbir Kapoor. We estimate that his Range Rover, with all the customizations he has probably chosen, is priced at approximately Rs 5 crore (ex-showroom, India).
An SUV for Enthusiasts
The emblem on the boot lid suggests that Kartik Aaryan has chosen the SUV’s top-of-the-line SV version. His Range Rover has a gloss-finished exterior painted in Ligurian Black. For his SUV, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 star appears to have opted for the optional 22-inch blacked-out alloy wheels. Though it’s unclear, Kartik Aaryan’s SUV probably features an all-black interior to go with the outside tone.
The actor owns a collection of high-end vehicles that includes a Lamborghini Urus and an orange-colored McLaren GT, in addition to the new Range Rover.
Range Rover SV Powertrain
The SV version of the SUV is available from Land Rover and has a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 petrol engine (615 PS/750 Nm). All four wheels receive power from the 8-speed automatic gearbox that is linked to it. The Land Rover Range Rover SV can sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.6 seconds.
Other Range Rover models have two engine options in addition to the 4.4-liter twin-turbo powertrain described above: a 3-liter turbo-petrol and a 3-liter diesel. All three of these engines include some sort of electrification to help with performance, and Land Rover also provides these engines with an 8-speed transmission. All-wheel drive is standard equipment on all Range Rover models.
What Features Does It Come With?
With an abundance of creature comforts, the Range Rover SV is a luxury SUV model that offers the greatest range. Additionally, it has a 4-zone climate control system, dual 11.4-inch back entertainment screens, 24-way adjustable heated and cooled powered front seats with massaging function, and a 13.1-inch touchscreen device. Kartik is also seen making use of the SUV’s split-folding tailgate in the photo posted on his social media accounts.
Several airbags, a 360-degree camera, dynamic stability control (DSC), and an array of sophisticated driver assistance technologies make up its safety net (ADAS).
Prices And Competitors
The ex-showroom price range for the Land Rover Range Rover in India is between Rs 2.39 crore and Rs 4.46 crore. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS, Bentley Bentayga, and Rolls-Royce Cullinan are some of its rivals in India.

News & Top StoriesIntroduced is the Skoda Sub-4m SUV Naming Contest, which will go on sale by March 2025.

It was recently reported that a new Skoda sub-4m SUV built in India will be on sale in March 2025. Though the Czech automaker has invited fans to participate in this process, the new offering’s name has not yet been determined. It has launched a naming competition where anyone may enter and offer a name for the upcoming Skoda SUV.
Specifics Regarding The Competition
The new name must only have one or two syllables and start and finish with the letters “K” and “Q.” Enter now through April 12, 2024, via the sweepstakes website or by utilizing the hashtag #NameYourSkoda on its official social media accounts. Ten fortunate winners will receive a trip to Prague courtesy of Skoda, and one winner will have the opportunity to take home the brand-new Skoda SUV.
Additionally, Skoda has narrowed down a shortlist of names for its next sub-4 million SUV. The names and their meanings are presented below:
- Designed to inspire, the Skoda Kariq is named after the Hindi term “Kaarigar.”
- Originating from the English term “quick,” Skoda Kwiq stands for “power and intelligence in harmony.”
- Timeless elegance, or Skoda Kylaq, is derived from the Sanskrit term “Kailasa.”
- Precious like you, Skoda Kymaq is derived from the Hawaiian term Kaimana.
- Designed to rule, Skoda Kyroq is derived from the Greek term “Kyrios.”
Consistent with Its Naming Style
Since the automaker has been using this system of nomenclature for some time, their SUV lineup includes models like the Kushaq, Kodiaq, and Karoq, whose names start and end with the letters “K” and “Q,” respectively.
An Overview of the New SUV
The Kushaq compact SUV and the yet-to-be-named SUV will use the same MQB-A0-IN platform, although the dimensions of the latter will be altered to comply with sub-4m market regulations. With a large touchscreen, a sunroof, and a digital driver display, we anticipate it to be a well-equipped vehicle.
We anticipate comparable levels of safety from the new SUV because it will be supported by Kushaq’s MQB-A0-IN platform, which has a 5-star rating in the Global NCAP crash tests. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic stability control (ESC), and six airbags are among the anticipated safety features.
What will give it power?
To capitalize on the tax advantages of the market, Skoda is anticipated to provide it with the smaller 1-liter turbo-petrol engine (115 PS/178 Nm) from the Kushaq. It may be available with a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission.
Rivals And Expected Price
Starting at Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom), we predict the Skoda sub-4m SUV will be available. It will compete against the Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and Maruti Fronx sub-4 million crossover.
