Most Helpful Review

BMW X1 - Great in all departments except performance

Performance - Creta /Seltos/XUV700 /Scorpio N have better performance than BMW X1. BMW killed the X1 by bringing engines to this. BMW! rethink your strategy. This is not expected from the BMW badge. Taigun/Kushaq 1.5 beat this X1 left and right!!.

The Boss Baby

The audi's baby SUV, the Audi Q3 was launched in India to fulfill the dreams of many people of owning an Audi or a German luxury SUV. It feels really luxurious on the inside and an Audi SUV from the outside. It was last updated in 2017. Although it is the size of a creta the Audi badge makes it feel bigger. The drive and handling is what you will expect from an Audi. You will feel like you are sitting in a luxury car. The seats are comfortable with good thigh support and a decent rear seat space. It seats five and has a good bootspace of 460 liters. You can take it for a road trip and use the space of the bootspace. You will get a ground clearance of 170 mm, which is not so good for a SUV. German cars even volkswagens are expensive in the matter of maintanence, and so is the Q3. Finally the price, it starts at rs 39.4 lakhs on-road mumbai, which is less than the top model of Toyota Fortuner at rs 40.13 lakhs on-road mumbai. The Q3 is 4388 mm long, 1831 mm wide and 1590 mm high making it a good city car.It has a whhel base of 2603 mm. it gets a 1.4 liter 4 cylinder, 181bhp engine. CONS 1- no apple carplay or android auto 2- high transmission tunnel makes it a good four seater. Overall a really good Audi is what is. You can go for it.

BMW X1 sDrive 18d M Sport Review

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray06 Sep 2023

The new-gen BMW X1 is bigger and better than before, or is it?

Audi Q3 facelift

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar13 Jun 2015

The launch of the Audi Q3 in 2012 was perhaps the watershed for the entry-level luxury cars in India. Of course, the BMW X1 was already on sale for a couple of years, but the real change came with this compact SUV from Audi.
