BMW x1 review

It's a very good car having both interior and exterior nice designs and very comfortable, smooth, good mileage. Just go for it without any doubt. I'm sure will be never disappointed by this car.

Amazing car except mileage

Amazing car and everything is just good except mileage. It gives hardly 6kmpl only while company claims at 13.9kmpl. So check mileage before buying as very poor it is. Other all is fantastic.

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?

Mercedes GLA 220d 4MATIC First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre15 Jul 2021

The previous-gen GLA had received some flak for its low slung back coupe-like styling, but now the new-gen corrects all that with its more upright stance and bigger proportions, and as a result has more space inside than before. Needless to say, the interior quality is luxurious and is now more attractive with HD screens and new tech. This diesel engine is not only frugal but packs in a sprightly performance for an SUV that's fun to drive. Though this top-of-the-line 4MATIC trim priced at Rs 57.89 lakh on-road makes it expensive than its rivals, it's a package that can convince you to shell out that extra premium!
