“The SQ8 is a masterclass in combining raw 500 bhp power with everyday usability in an imposing SUV package. It delivers engaging driving dynamics and cutting-edge tech for those who refuse to compromise on performance or luxury. Less good: the steep ₹177.72 lakh price tag and efficiency expectations demand serious commitment.
