Pros Cons of BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine

Pros

  • Looks like an executive sedan
  • The long wheelbase really provides a lot of space
  • The 3 Series GL does not have much competition

Cons

  • Could have been generous with features
  • Suspension is a bit taut
  • The 3 GL misses out on some creature comforts like rear seat controls for the media

Verdict

India is the first right hand drive market anywhere in the world to get the car and of course the focus here is on the extra space inside the cabin, specifically for people in the rear seat. The 3GL is promising to offer more comfort at price which may not be beyond your reach and as a chauffeur driven car it is right up there in the segment. The 3 series sedan starts at ₹ 42.30 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison this long wheelbase model is expected to be priced between ₹ 50 and Rs 54 lakh.

Pros Cons of BMW X1

Pros

  • Bold Styling With Muscular Design
  • Has A Spacious Cabin
  • Comes With A Host Smart Feature

Cons

  • Interior Styling Not Very Impressive
  • Stiff Ride Quality
  • Doesn’T Get Android Auto

Verdict

The new BMW X1 is a new generation model in true sense. Everything from design and dimensions to features and drivability has changed on the car and it does seem to justify its price tag looking at how the rivals are priced. It comes across as a worthy option in this competitive segment, one that has adapted well to today’s times.
