BMW 3 Series vs Lexus NX Comparison overview
Comparison overview: The BMW 3 Series starts at ₹72.85 L and the Lexus NX at ₹66.59 L, a difference of ₹6.26 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹6.95 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.
Engine and performance: The BMW 3 Series uses a 2,998cc Petrol making 368.78bhp@5500-6500rpm and listed torque with Automatic. The Lexus NX uses a 2,487cc Petrol making 187.74bhp@6000rpm and listed torque with Automatic.
Mileage and running cost: The BMW 3 Series Petrol Automatic is rated at 13.02 kmpl and the Lexus NX Petrol Automatic at 17.8 kmpl. At 1,000 km a month, the Lexus NX saves you about ₹2.17 K a month and ₹25.99 K a year on fuel.
What one gives that the other does not: The BMW 3 Series adds Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Global NCAP Safety Rating, Chrome Grille, Chrome Garnish and Projector Headlamps. The Lexus NX adds Side Airbag-Rear, Hill Assist, Fog Lights - Rear, Rear Window Wiper and Dual Tone Body Colour. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.
Which one should you buy?
Buy the Lexus NX if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹6.26 L for your down payment than spend it on features.
Buy the BMW 3 Series if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.
The one thing that settles it: BMW 3 Series offers Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
Before you sign anything:
Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.
Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.
Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
