Trending Questions on BMW X3 - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Dr Ankit Mehraon Mar 3, 2026

Hi, I am a doctor by profession. I currently own an MG Windsor, a Maruti WagonR, and a Hyundai Creta (2018). I am planning to sell the Creta and upgrade to a premium SUV from brands like BMW, Mercedes, or Audi. I love driving, though I rarely get the chance due to my work. I do not want a sedan - I want an SUV that is bigger and better than the Creta. Please suggest suitable options in this segment.

Since you are looking for a bigger SUV than the Hyundai Creta, you can consider the BMW X3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Since you mentioned you do not often get a chance to drive, we would recommend the Mercedes-Benz GLC over the BMW X3. 

It has a more comfortable back seat, the interior feels more plush, and it has a better ride quality than the others. That said, whenever you do get a chance to take the wheel, it is very enjoyable to drive, with strong performance from both the petrol and diesel engines.

Asked by: Jitenderon Feb 23, 2026

I am planning to buy a new car, preferably a diesel. My daily driving is approximately 100 km in the city. I am currently driving a Toyota Fortuner 4x2 AT and am now considering upgrading to either a sedan or an SUV. My maximum budget is around ₹50 lakh (net) after exchanging my current vehicle. Could you please suggest a suitable vehicle in this budget that would be comfortable for daily usage and long-term ownership? Regards, Jitender

You should check out a luxury SUV such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC or BMW X3, which will feel like a good upgrade to your Toyota Fortuner. They might not be as large, but given that your driving is in the city, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. They have sophisticated and refined petrol and diesel engine options, high-quality cabins and lots of features. 

Plus, they will be considerably more comfortable and easier to drive than the Fortuner. If you simply must have more space and size than the Fortuner, then consider the MG Majestor, which will be launching very soon. 

It's unclear how much you will get in exchange for your Fortuner, but assuming it is not too old, big Toyotas tend to hold their value well, so these SUVs should fit in your budget.

Asked by: Arun Rajparaon Dec 28, 2025

I have been using a BMW 3 GT for many years and am now planning to buy a new SUV with a budget of around ₹70 to 80 lakh. My daily commute is approximately 70 km. Could you please advise on the best option available today?

Since your daily commute is as much as 70km, you should consider a diesel luxury SUV, and there are two good options in this price range. The BMW X3 is more engaging to drive, and since you have already owned a BMW car, you will likely be familiar with the brand's aftersales and service ecosystem, and could even talk to your dealership about a loyalty benefit.
However, overall, the better SUV is the Mercedes-Benz GLC. It offers a more luxurious cabin, rear seat space, and a comfortable ride. Plus, while not quite as engaging to drive as the BMW, it's still a lot of fun from behind the wheel.

Asked by: Himanshu Parekhon Dec 25, 2025

I have been using a Skoda Superb car for the last few years. I am now planning to buy a new car. For some time now, I have developed knee pain. Considering this, would a SUV be better suited for me as compared to a sedan? Can you please also give me some recommendations for the car? My budget is up to ₹75 lakh.

While you are advised to personally test the vehicles to judge comfort, a higher-riding SUV usually is more comfortable to get into and out of than a sedan. There are a fair few options within your budget (do remember to haggle hard!), among which we'd suggest you check out the BMW iX1, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60 and Land Rover Discovery Sport.
You could also look at the Kia Carnival if you are open to the MPV body style.

Asked by: PRAKASHon Dec 12, 2025

I have driven my car for around 35,000 km. Should I retain it or sell it and upgrade to a new car?

35,000 kms is not a very high mileage at all, for any car. So if the car is running fine and you are happy with its performance, we would not recommend selling it purely based on its mileage covered. 

However, if you are still keen on a change to a newer car, you could look at the new Mercedes GLC or the BMW X3

Asked by: Amit Agarwalon Nov 23, 2025

I am currently driving a Jeep Compass and am planning to upgrade. I have shortlisted the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, or should I wait for the upcoming Audi Q5? Please share your feedback.

In this list, the Mercedes-Benz GLC would be a good choice as it has a strong engine, premium interiors and good ride comfort as well. The BMW X3 is roomy, but lacks the luxury appeal of the GLC's interior, and the GLC also holds its value better.
The Audi Q5 will be the newest car once it launches in 2026, but there is no official confirmation on the same. Currently, the GLC is your best bet.

Asked by: Sid Kapson Nov 18, 2025

I want to upgrade my car. My budget is around 80-90 lacs, and I'm considering the GLC 300, X3 and the Velar (I prefer SUVs over sedans). I've also been suggested to consider the Porsche Macan, but I believe with the add-ons the costing will 1+ cr. My apprehension with the Velar is the reliability and the maintenance costs. My running is around 1000-1200 km p.m. and will be self-driven.

Both the Land Rover Range Rover Velar and the Porsche Macan will run you close to Rs 1 crore on road. Moreover, the Macan is showing its age now and is quite cramped on the inside, though it remains the best SUV to drive among your shortlist.
Yes, Land Rovers are plagued with a history of poor and expensive service, but there have been great improvements in recent years, more so since local assembly has begun, and parts are not as hard to come by.
Though more conventional, the Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X3 are safer bets and offer more bang for your buck. Of the two, it's the GLC that feels like the best all-rounder.

Asked by: Ramya Rajanon Oct 17, 2025

I want to upgrade my car. My budget is 60 to 80 lakhs. What will be your advice. Land Rover Discovery sports diesel or BMW X1 or BMW X3 or shall I wait for Audi q5 to come. Or can I look for meridian

Without knowing your exact requirements, it’s hard to suggest one outright. Among the options you’ve listed, the BMW X3 is the newest and offers the most features, though it’s also the most expensive. The Land Rover Discovery Sport has the advantage of a third row of seats, though it’s best suited for children. The BMW X1 will be the easiest to drive in the city. The next-gen Audi Q5 is still some time away, with its launch expected around 2026. The Jeep Meridian, meanwhile, won’t feel as premium or as refined as the other options you’ve mentioned.

Asked by: Ramya Rajanon Oct 17, 2025

I want to upgrade my car and have a budget of ₹60-80 lakhs. Should I go for the Land Rover Discovery Sport Diesel, BMW X1, BMW X3, wait for the upcoming Audi Q5, or consider the Jeep Meridian?

In your budget, it's best to go for the BMW X3, although you might have to stretch by Rs 2-3 lakh. It is the newest SUV, offering a strong 2.0-litre diesel engine, plus the latest tech and a spacious and comfortable cabin. The Discovery Sport is a capable car, but it is quite old now and its age shows; if you need a third row of seats, however, do consider it. The X1, in comparison, is a segment below and offers less powerful engines and, of course, less space. The new Audi Q5 launch is some time away, and while it is capable, note that it will only come in petrol guise, not diesel. You could also consider the Mercedes-Benz GLC, whose 2.0-litre diesel is also strong, and it offers a spacious and luxurious cabin as well.

Asked by: Ramya Ranjanon Oct 15, 2025

I want to upgrade my car and am confused between the Land Rover Discovery Sport (diesel), BMW X3, Jeep Meridian, and Mercedes-Benz GLC. What would be your advice? Can I still buy a diesel car, considering I plan to keep it for the next 7 years?

Diesel as a fuel should be around for a long while; however, resale values could dip due to uncertainty from authorities regarding its future.
Of the SUVs you’ve mentioned, we recommend the Mercedes-Benz GLC, though you could also consider the BMW X3 if it better suits your specific needs.
