BMW X3 in short

The new-generation X3 launched in India in January 2025, and per BMW India's own pricing the 30 xDrive M Sport Pro petrol costs ₹76.20 lakh while the xDrive20d diesel costs ₹78.20 lakh — unusually, the diesel is the pricier car. Both are locally assembled with xDrive all-wheel drive standard. A cheaper xDrive20 petrol (around ₹69.90 lakh) exists but our sources conflict on its exact price, so it is held from the table. Rivals are the Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5.

Jaguar F-Pace in short

The F-Pace is the last Jaguar you can buy new in India — and only while dealer stock lasts. Global production of every current Jaguar has ended as the brand resets itself as an electric-only marque, with jaguar.in now teasing the electric Type 01 expected in late 2026 or early 2027. Until stock runs out, the F-Pace is listed in a single R-Dynamic S trim at ₹72.90 lakh, petrol and diesel identically priced. If you want a new petrol or diesel Jaguar, this is the final window, and availability may end any week.
