Which BMW X3 is the base model, and what does it cost?

The 30 xDrive M Sport Pro, from ₹76.90L ex-showroom Delhi, is where the X3 range starts. Features you get even here: Level 2 ADAS, panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats.

Which BMW X3 is the top model, and what does it cost?

The xDrive20d M Sport tops the range at ₹78.20L ex-showroom Delhi. It is not a straight superset of the range though: it goes without 19" wheel size against 20", no LED fog lamps and no rear fog lamp that the 30 xDrive M Sport Pro has.

What do the BMW X3 trim names mean?

A trim is a level of equipment, and BMW uses 2 names for them on the X3: in its own order they run 30 xDrive M Sport Pro and xDrive20d M Sport. Between them the 2 variants cost ₹76.90L to ₹78.20L, ex-showroom Delhi.

Is there a petrol BMW X3, and what does it cost?

Yes. The cheapest is the 30 xDrive M Sport Pro Turbo Petrol AT at ₹76.90L ex-showroom Delhi, and 1 of the 2 variants is petrol.

Is there a diesel BMW X3, and what does it cost?

Yes. The cheapest is the xDrive20d M Sport Diesel AT at ₹78.20L ex-showroom Delhi, and 1 of the 2 variants is diesel.

Which cars does the BMW X3 compete with?

The X3 runs ₹76.90L to ₹78.20L ex-showroom Delhi, and one other SUV sells in the same money: the Mercedes-Benz GLC from ₹77.00L.

Is there a cheaper alternative to the BMW X3?

Not among the cars it goes up against. The X3 is the cheapest of them at ₹76.90L ex-showroom Delhi, so a saving would have to come from a smaller car rather than a rival SUV.

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the 30 xDrive M Sport Pro Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹82,59,108 in Ahmedabad and ₹94,89,708 in Kochi, a difference of ₹12,30,600 on the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price it in, Gujarat, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
