BMW iX vs Jaguar I-Pace vs Audi e-tron vs Mercedes-Benz EQC: Price Comparison

The BMW iX has been launched in India in the single xDrive40 variant priced at Rs. 1.16 crore (ex-showroom). It is the brand's first all-electric offering in the country and also the Bavarian carmaker's first-ever electric SUV. BMW says the iX promises the practicality of the X5, the luxury of the X7 and the dynamics of the X6. And while we'll agree with the first two claims, we are yet to test out the third.

So where does the new iX stand on the pricing front when compared to its rivals? Let's take a look.
