• Pros & Cons

  Pros	It has an ultra-luxurious cabin with everything of soft-touch material. It comes equipped with next-level technology for safety, features. Both the engines on offer are very powerful in the segment. Gets gesture controls for operations of gates and another system. Has one of the largest touchscreen infotainment systems.	Brutally quick for an SUV (0–100 kmph in ~3.8 sec) Unique positioning as a high-performance luxury hybrid Road presence unlike anything else on the road Feature-loaded and tech-rich interior Exclusivity adds strong collector value
  Cons	Some switchgear quality could have been improved. The cabin might feel overdone with the play of colors.	Extremely expensive for what it offers Polarising design won’t appeal to everyone Very limited practicality for daily use Heavy weight affects agility vs traditional M cars Hybrid system adds complexity and long-term ownership concerns
