India has an age old history in automobile industry. Since the first car was launched in the country, it has witnessed many advancements and innovations that have continuously changed the overall appearance of the industry in the global car market.

In the present scenario, Indian automobile landscape is showcasing a number of cars and other vehicles with a combination of technology and consumer-friendly price tags. It displays a variety of cars in different price segments ranging from a small car of Rs 1 lakh to a high-end luxury car worth Rs 5 crore. These cars with such a huge difference in price tags cater to different sections of the society.

The first and perhaps the most noteworthy example of the growing Indian car industry is the soon-to-be-launched Tata Nano. This homegrown frugal car is simply a small wonder. After the unique engine technology and price tag of Tata Nano, global car manufacturers have their eye on Indian engineers and technology. The car expected to hit in the festive season is a big threat to the small car segment in the global market.

Other than Nano, there are many other small wonders soon to be seen on Indian roads. First in line is the car manufacturing leader, Maruti Suzuki, who is all set to roll out its small car, Maruti-Suzuki A-Star. Then there is a car codenamed as ULC (ultra-low cost), proposed to be designed and produced by a joint venture between Bajaj Auto and the Renault-Nissan. Following the trend, Honda, Seil India, Hyundai Motors, Czech Skoda India, General Motors and even Toyota is planning to design an exclusive small car in the Indian car market. The trend of producing small cars with upmarket and innovative technology has itself paved a path for global car manufacturers to reach India.

The unique combination of innovations and technologies in Indian small cars has also redefined the concept of luxury cars in the country. As new technologies are banking on small cars, the differentiation line between small and luxury cars seems to fade away except the size and price. This compelled luxury car manufacturers to re-define the structure, body lines and interiors of all their car models so that a broad differentiation line always stay in between. The redefined luxury car segment is another aspect of the growing Indian car market.

Luxury car manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Rolls Royce have introduced a number of luxury cars for sale in the Indian car market. They are still in process of rolling out more cars with better engine technology and futuristic features. With the increasing number of people showing their interest in luxury cars, these manufacturers are earning good revenues, compelling them to strengthen their footprints in India.

For those looking for sheer luxury on wheels a slew of launches will hit the Indian market. BMW will drive in its new 7 Series and its sportier M3, M5 and M6 followed by the sports utility range the BMW X6. Rolls Royce will roll out more number of Rolls Royce Phantom cars for sale whereas Porsche is ready to hit India with its exciting Porsche Cayenne GTS and the Porsche 911 new GT2. Few new Volkswagen cars, Mitsubishi cars, and Toyota cars are also on their way to India.

Experts believe that a wide assortment of options is available in India to suit different sections of people. The market is even more promising with low-cost production, highly skilled engineers and easy availability of car loans. All these factors along with the increasing number of cars on Indian roads, has become a strong reason for global car manufacturers to savour India.

Luxury car leasing is different :It’s not that luxury cars for sale are more expensive, or that the leasing process is different, but because the consumer doing the leasing is typically different.

Luxury car consumer :
High-end automotive consumers have different priorities, different values, bigger bank accounts, and prefer to transact business differently than people acquiring less expensive vehicles. They have a tendency to lease rather than buy. “High-line” vehicles are leased at the rate of 50% - 70%, depending on brand, compared to only 20% - 30% for non-luxury models.

Luxury auto consumers tend to value time, efficiency, quality of service, and business relationship when dealing with financing. Spending a great deal of time shopping and haggling for bargain deals is less important that establishing a relationship with a company they can trust and depend on to genuinely look out for their interests. High-end customrs tend to be more loyal to a brand and a dealership over a long period of time.

Luxury automobiles make the best lease values, dollar for dollar, due to high lease-end residual values relative to MSRP. In fact, luxury vehicles, as a category, are leased significantly more often than vehicles in any other category. The best lease deals are for Lexus car, Mercedes car, Porsche car, Land Rover car, and BMW car, with the highest future resale values, or residual values, relative to their original cost. A high residual value creates a low monthly lease payment.

In fact, a better lease deal can often be obtained by leasing a high-residual luxury car than by leasing a car with a lower residual value, even though the price of the luxury car is the same or greater. This is the reason smart automotive consumers tend to lease a luxury vehicle. Being smart about money is a typical characteristic of high-end car leasers. High-line leasing consumers are not trying to save a few bucks — they have the money to buy the car they want. They simply know that it’s not smart to put money into depreciating assets (automobiles) when that money could be used for more productive purposes.

Independent lease companies and luxury cars :
More than 20% of luxury automobile consumers finance their loans and leases outside of car dealerships. Independent lease companies such as Primelease can, in most cases, beat luxury car dealers on prices and lease rates because high-end manufacturers don’t subsidize deals and offer incentives nearly to the extent that low-mid-range vehicle manufacturers do. Furthermore, luxury car dealers don’t like to be viewed as “discounters.”

Finance companies who lease luxury cars typically require their clients to have “prime” credit ratings. Lower credit scores can mean higher lease rates, large down payments, and security deposits — and possibly higher insurance rates. For high-line vehicle leases an independent lease company can be more flexible and responsive to customers’ needs than dealers, who are restrained by car manufacturers’ rules. For example, when new models come out and are limited in dealers’ inventories, independent lease companies can search the entire country for the exact car you want.

Benefits of leasing luxury cars :
People who lease high-line cars like the convenience of a quick easy business transaction, like having a new style car every two or three years, like avoiding maintenace and repair headaches, and like avoiding disposing of used cars. They also like the option of minimizing cash outlay.

In summary, luxury car leasing is different, the people who lease luxury cars are different, and the companies who lease luxury cars are different.
