Which BMW X5 is the base model, and what does it cost?

The xDrive40i, from ₹96.90L ex-showroom Delhi, is where the X5 range starts. Features you get even here: Level 1 ADAS, panoramic sunroof and 360 degree camera. What you give up against the top xDrive30d M Sport Pro: no ventilated front seats, no head-up display and no LED fog lamps, and 1 more.

Which BMW X5 is the top model, and what does it cost?

The xDrive30d M Sport Pro tops the range at ₹1.13Cr ex-showroom Delhi. Over the base xDrive40i it adds ventilated front seats, head-up display and LED fog lamps, and 1 more. It is not a straight superset of the range though: it goes without no ADAS, no blind spot monitor and no terrain modes, and 1 more that the xDrive40i has.

What do the BMW X5 trim names mean?

A trim is a level of equipment, and BMW uses 4 names for them on the X5: in its own order they run xDrive40i, xDrive30d, xDrive40i M Sport Pro and xDrive30d M Sport Pro. Between them the 4 variants cost ₹96.90L to ₹1.13Cr, ex-showroom Delhi.

Is there a petrol BMW X5, and what does it cost?

Yes. The cheapest is the xDrive40i Turbo Petrol AT at ₹96.90L ex-showroom Delhi, and 2 of the 4 variants are petrol.

Is there a diesel BMW X5, and what does it cost?

Yes. The cheapest is the xDrive30d Diesel AT at ₹98.90L ex-showroom Delhi, and 2 of the 4 variants are diesel.

Which cars does the BMW X5 compete with?

The X5 runs ₹96.90L to ₹1.13Cr ex-showroom Delhi, and 3 other SUVs sell in the same money: the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 Coupe from ₹99.35L, the Lexus RX 500h from ₹1.11Cr and the Audi Q8 from ₹1.13Cr.

Is there a cheaper alternative to the BMW X5?

Not among the cars it goes up against. The X5 is the cheapest of them at ₹96.90L 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 xDrive40i Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹1,03,99,108 in Ahmedabad and ₹1,19,49,708 in Kochi, a difference of ₹15,50,600 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.
