The BMW X1 is the entry-level SUV Crossover by the German manufacturer in India.

However, prices for the BMW X1 as of now start from Rs. 35.20 lakh and go up to Rs. 45.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

As for the variant details, this BMW X1 is the 20d variant and the asking price of this car is Rs. 8.40 lakhs which makes it much cheaper than the on-road prices of a brand new top-end Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback.
