Lexus ES 350h vs BMW X1 Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Lexus ES 350h starts at ₹66.10 L and the BMW X1 at ₹50.90 L, a difference of ₹15.20 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹16.87 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Lexus ES 350h number is for the Petrol Automatic and the BMW X1 number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

Space and practicality: The BMW X1 takes 476 litres against 454, about 22 litres more. That is roughly one extra cabin-size bag of extra room.

What one gives that the other does not: The Lexus ES 350h adds Acceleration 0-100kmph, Steering Type, Steering Column, Steering Gear Type and Power Windows. The BMW X1 adds Side Airbag-Rear, Seat Belt Warning, Door Ajar Warning, Engine Immobilizer and Speed Alert. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the BMW X1 if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹15.20 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Lexus ES 350h if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Engine Type without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Lexus ES 350h offers Acceleration 0-100kmph.

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.
