For Land Rover, a brand synonymous with premium off-road capability and luxury, the updated tax regime has translated into steep price corrections. With reductions ranging from \u20b94 lakh on entry SUVs to nearly \u20b910-12 lakh on flagship models, GST 2.0 has made Land Rover vehicles significantly more attractive for Indian buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we explore the model-wise impact of GST 2.0 on Land Rover cars, highlight which SUVs benefit the most, and analyze how the brand stands to gain in India\u2019s growing luxury SUV segment.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gst-impact-on-land-rover-cars-compact-suvs\">GST Impact on Land Rover Cars (Compact SUVs)<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Land Rover\u2019s portfolio is built around large-displacement engines and full-size SUVs, which means the brand does not operate in the sub-1200cc segment. However, its compact luxury SUV, the Range Rover Evoque, falls closer to the lower end of its portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Range Rover Evoque (2.0 petrol\/diesel) has seen a reduction of around \u20b94-\u20b95 lakh, depending on trim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Discovery Sport, positioned as a practical luxury SUV, has also benefited with cuts up to \u20b95 lakh, making it more accessible to aspirational buyers.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gst-impact-on-compact-land-rover-suvs\"><strong>GST Impact on Compact Land Rover SUVs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Model<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price Before GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price After GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Difference<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Range Rover Evoque<\/td><td>\u20b973.00 lakh<\/td><td>\u20b968.50 lakh<\/td><td>\u20b94.50 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Discovery Sport<\/td><td>\u20b972.00 lakh<\/td><td>\u20b967.00 lakh<\/td><td>\u20b95.00 lakh<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These models now compete more effectively with German rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X3.
