2021 BMW X series currently has six models lined up for the adventure activities. Before talking about all the six models, let’s first know what’s the X means. X stands for crossovers in BMW X series cars. All the X series cars also use BMW’s xDrive. It has a total of 7 models but currently, six are available in Indian Market. BMW X series cars resemble the look of SUV’s but they are not exactly SUVs. The German automaker has made some changes or rather improvements in the classic SUV’s designs. They are calling them Sports Activity Vehicle or SAV. In these six cars, two of them are Coupe-based SUVs. BMW calls them Sports Activity Coupe.

BMW X1
Coming first in this series is the BMW X1. X1 comes in both diesel and petrol variants. It draws its power from a 2L TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine which delivers a good 192hp coupled with an 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. This combination of the turbo engine and Steptronic transmission gives a dynamic driving experience. X1 runs with a good mileage even when it encompasses a 2L sporty engine. It delivers a fuel economy of 14.82 km/l for a petrol engine and 19.62km/l for a diesel engine. The 5-seater SAV is available at an ex-showroom price of INR 37.2 Lakh.
BMW X3
In this lineup, the next entry is BMW X3. It is also a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). There is nothing much difference in power and torque than its smaller sibling X1. You can call it a bigger, wider, and taller version of X1. X3 focuses more on off-roading. It is also a four-wheel drive SAV and draws its power from the same 2L TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine which delivers the same amount of power and torque. But, of course, its bigger size and all-wheel-drive system reduced its fuel economy and top speed. On the diesel engine, it runs 3km less than X1 in 1 liter of diesel. Available in both diesel and petrol engine, the BMW X3 starts at an ex-showroom price of INR 56.5 Lakh.
