Luxury Cars That Do Not Incur Exorbitant Service Bills

- BMW 3 series is one of the lowest maintenance luxury cars in India.
- Volvo XC90 has a fuel efficiency of 17.2kmpl.
- Service costs totally depend on a persons driving habits.
Let's be clear of some points before diving into the list-
- The term ‘low maintenance is w.r.t the luxury cars with higher maintenance and there is no fixed scale for it. For example, it costs around Rs.3.3 lakhs for 5 general services (including change of engine oil, replacement of air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs micro filter, and brake fluid) of Mercedes C Class but it costs much less for a BMW of same price range.
One more example is the cost of spare parts, Mercedes C-Class Front brake pads cost around Rs.10,000 while BMW X1 Front brake pads cost around Rs.5,000.
- Service costs totally depend on a person's driving habits, number of kms driven, accidents, and several other factors. Therefore, service cost can be more or less than the provided figures.
Now that you are ready let's directly jump to the list of luxury cars that do not give exorbitant service bills:
