Increase in BMW vehicle prices across the range, up to a maximum of 3%, effective from September 1.
BMW has announced a price increase of up to 3% across its entire model range, effective September 1, 2025. The automaker cites continuing foreign exchange impacts and rising material and logistics costs as the main reasons for the price hike[1][2][3][4][5].
The BMW i4, i5, i7, i7 M70, iX, Z4 M40i, M2 Coupe, M4 Competition, M4 CS, M5, M8 Competition Coupe, and XM are some of the upcoming offerings from BMW in India. However, these models are not currently locally assembled in India and are expected to be priced higher than the locally assembled models due to their fully imported status[6].
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, X1, X3, X5, X7, M340i, and iX1 Long Wheelbase are locally assembled in BMW's Tamil Nadu facility, and their prices have not been affected by the recent price increase[7]. The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is available with a 1499 cc Petrol engine[8].
The Audi Q3 Sportback and Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line are also premium SUVs, generally priced somewhat below or close to BMW's comparable segment models, depending on specification and market[9]. The Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tayron are usually positioned as premium or near-luxury SUVs but at a somewhat lower price bracket compared to BMW's luxury pricing[9]. The Nissan X-Trail is typically in a more mainstream SUV category and priced significantly lower than luxury brands like BMW or Audi[9].
Previous price hikes by BMW occurred in January and April of this year[10]. The BMW i4, i5, i7, i7 M70, iX, Z4 M40i, M2 Coupe, M4 Competition, M4 CS, M5, M8 Competition Coupe, and XM are not part of the models that are locally assembled at BMW's Tamil Nadu facility[11]. The upcoming Volkswagen Tayron is expected to be priced between ₹48 - 50 lakhs (ex-showroom)[2].
