Nice car, but this is absurd pricing. Mercedes has got really greedy with pricing in India!

Time for BMW to bring back the X5M Competition - A 4.4-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine putting out 617 HP and 750 NM - Complete with Twin Scroll Bi-Turbo and racetrack cooling system. Will scorch the GL53 with a 0-100 time of 3.8 seconds. It may not be much more expensive, as BMW is less greedy and they are often able to do local assembly of even low volume models. For comparison:


2024 GLE 53 AMG

• Price of GLE53 AMG in India - Rs. 1.85 crores - 2,23,000 USD
• Price of GLE53 AMG in USA - USD 90,000
• Price in India - 250% of price in USA

2020 BMW X5M Competition

• Price in USA when launched in USA - 1,22,000 USD
• Price in India at launch in 2020 - Rs. 2.02 Crores = 2,43,000 USD based on exchange rates prevalent then.
• Prices in India = 200% of price in USA.
